New Wave Outpost Forum

I don't know about you all, but it's been a chilly decade for music thus far. The White Stripes-led Garage rock scene didn't really pan out. Outkast made some decent noise, but not enough to change the tide of bludgeoning ego-rap. So what have we to back to? List your best albums for the last great decade of music, mine are:

1. Radiohead - OK Computer
2. Blur - Parklife!
3. REM - Automatic For The People
4. Paul Weller - Wild Wood
5. Beck - Odelay
6. Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning glory?
7. Nirvana - Nevermind
8. Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining
9. Peter Gabriel - Us
10. U2 - Achtung Baby

Here's ten I still play all the time. A lot of stuff I loved in the 90's I can't stand today (Rage Against The Machine [:I]):

Dinosaur Jr. - Green Mind
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come
Melvins - Stoner Witch
Coil - Love's Secret Domain
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Sonic Youth - Goo
Pixies - Trompe Le Monde
Rowland S. Howard - Teenage Snuff Film
Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. It was an outstanding decade for music no matter what anyone says.

[i]6 - Orbital - Orbital[/i]

You like the first album that much? I always preferred the second one. First one had some of their best tracks (Chime, Belfast, Midnight), but the rest of the album had too much bleeping for me.
