I've tried, honest I have, but I just can't get excited about the 90s. When I try to think about that decade I just think grunge, britpop and baggy, none of which are things that I would want to feature in a top 25 that I had created.

Bring on the official 50 greatest albums of the 80s. Or have I already missed that?

No you haven't missed it, I'm eagerly awaiting this too.

if you wish, if 25 is too many, you do can few as 10, my point system works in a way that award their number one 25 points, all the way down, and this mean a top ten can work like this

1 - 25 points
2 - 24 points
3 - 23 points
.
.
10 - 16 points

i expanded it to 25 based on observations of last one done by SYRfox, with a lot of people adding many more then the required allotment, this way anything between 11-25 can get points based on that, and not be left out

on the 80s list i haven't decided if i will do that, i suppose i could, but we'll see, just wanna finish up this list

Where were you living during this decade ? There're a bunch of good albums, look at Atari's or Adam's list for example.

blunderbuss 10.17.2008 07:17 AM

Okay, here's 12:

1. High Rise - Live
2. Gate - The Lavender Head
3. Loren Mazzacane Connors - Long Nights
4. Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
5. William Hooker with DJ Olive & Glenn Spearman - Mindfulness
6. Boredoms - Super Ae
7. Einstuerzende Neubauten - Ende Neu
8. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatmans Call
9. Beastie Boys - Check Your head (thanks, Atari, I'd forgotten about that)
10. Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide
11. Depeche Mode - Violator
12. Beck - Odelay


EDIT - late addition: Atari Teenage Riot - The Future of War, new in at number 6. I can't believe it took a trip to the coffee machine to think of that one. All numbers below that shift down one.
