Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006 (x-post/Music Forum)

[NT!]

Somebody mentioned Aenima before me, it reminded me to include Tool.

I'll make that 1990-95 list in a little bit once I get to work.

I haven't listened to enough new music to fill 25, but the last 10 years wouldn't be complete without these:

Tortoise : TNT
Yo La Tengo : And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
Built to Spill : Keep It Like A Secret
Sonic Youth : Murray Street
Wilco : A Ghost is Born
Fugees : The Score
The Tragically Hip : Phantom Power
Medeski Martin & Wood : End of the World Party
Paul Oakenfold : A Voyage Into Trance
Phish : Live At Madison Square Garden New Year's Even 1995 ( Released in 2005 ... I don't even have the CD, just had the tapes for the last 10 years )

Once the 1990 - 1995 thread gets going, I'm going to need 50 slots at least

is it cool to like this neutral milk hotel cd or something? i mean, i like it and all, but i wouldnt even consider putting it anywhere near a top 25 list and am quite suprised to see it consistently near the top.

I totally agree with this. I just listened to it again and it sounds like a cascade of mehs.

[private joker]

Soul Daddy -- are you sure you didn't count Nath's lists twice? He submitted two in this thread.

As much as I want t see REM's Hi-Fi so high up, I sadly must admit that it can't conceivably get 65 pts only being on mine and Nath's list.

[Kneel B4 Zod]

here is the overall ranking done differently - by total mentions. same disclaimer as Joker, there may be some mistakes in here due to spelling/sorting/missing "The". I also stopped grabbing lists at some point.
