Refused has some 2nd reunion tour dates in 2015. I liked this album a lot when it came out. I hope the Shape of Punk to Come isn't round as tickets to the Chicago show are $32 and I'm always hesitant to see older bands that suddenly reappear. Small-ish venue show so it could be cool. Debating tickets.

Very solid list.....some comments:
Gish (pumpkins) was great.....but siamese dream was a tad better (IMO) No chemical brothers? (Exit planet dust).....that should be there before the trendy pick of daft punk's '01 offering. Would add Pulp "a different class" as well. Someone else commented on massive attack choice.....and i concur. Well done list though!

I'll have to think about the last five years and see if I don't amend this list. I've been really busy with work and I'm behind on my listening by about two years. Kinda been slacking in terms of my musical appreciation. As well, the internet has exploded with a lot of new artists and styles and shit. Music is a busy, chaotic thing right now as they move from hard copy materials (CD's) to the new formats of FLAC, DSD or whathaveyou that give one a better sound than the poor MP3 defacto choice of the last decade or so.
Oh, and Def Leppard's "Hysteria" absolutely sucks. It's a pure product of Mutt Lange (who is incredibly effective at what he does, but making or attempting to make a megahit album is what he does) and a direct attempt at dominating the charts with poppy rock schlock. It's predictable and repetitive with horrible songwriting and every element in the production process was engineered with one thought - to make every song a hit. They took "Pyromania" and turned it into a studio production project. Each aspect of the production process was incredibly controlled. If you listen to the songs individually, you say "That's a really good song." Taken as a whole, the album feels fake. (Now, I do have another Mutt Lange mega-hit album on my list in Shania Twain's "Come on Over," but that has a much more harmonious feel to it while maintaining the "big" song concept. A later and more polished Lange interpretation of what he was attempting to do with Hysteria.) Last edited by Saccopoo; 04-02-2015 at 03:11 PM.. |

I don't think I saw this when it was originally posted. Pretty solid list as far as my tastes are concerned with a few notable exceptions and curiosities.
While I personally prefer The Real Thing over Angel Dust, I'm curious how the latter didn't make it if the former did. Also struggling with Peace Sells, but no Rust in Peace which for my money is far superior. Glad to see a little 16 Horsepower love, even though I enjoy Wovenhand a bit more as a band. Somewhat surprised not to see Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros not included. Don't even get me started on The Black Album, that's an argument that has been had far too many times. |

Good list. Interested to see what new music you would add (Random Access Memories, Black Messiah), what isn't really holding up over time (Play, Throwing Copper), and what was left off (The Chronic).

There's far more that I agree with than disagree with, but off the top of my head, I'd take out:
American Idiot Power in Numbers The Shape of Punk to Come Gish Boxer ...and replace them with Siamese Dream The Chronic Toxicity Alice In Chains: Unplugged Blues Traveler Four Just me, though! Good list!

Bon Jovi? good grief man... theres an awful lot to like on this list, but thats easily the worst pick of them all.
Janes Addiction was a great choice but RDLH should've been the pick there... its a much better album with a much more well defined sound. The Cures Kiss Me x 3 is a good choice, I remember the ex wife trying to get me listen to it for a looong time... "what? man **** those guys, no thanks babe"... then I actually listened to it, was probably high at the time, and then it all clicked, loved it after that. Moody and atmospheric, wish I still had it. The Cult, just like JA its a great band choice but totally wrong album... Electric is the one that defined their sound, still own that one. The Black Album Green Day anything and you had THREE choices from those jackoffs? Love that first Strokes album. Wrong choice for Coldplay, its either X & Y or ROBTTH. |

This post is a massive pile of fail. Not only do you completely misunderstand the recording, editing and production process and fail to recognize I've the sheer brilliance of this record, you state that the song "suck", despite the fact they connected with tens of millions (if not hundreds of million) of people |
