*MASSIVELY* overrated. A couple of great songs, otherwise Pre-Millenial Tension rules in comparison.
Sorry Ned, but with all due respect you're utterly wrong. Maxinquaye was the best record of the decade. PMT, OTOH, is mostly a pile of poo.

Look, I'm not getting into another argument of the objective validity of personal opinion! You think one way, I think another, life goes on. :-)

Good things: Seam getting some 'spect. Goat at #2. Seefeel (also seen on Ned's list). Drive lIke Jehu. The The's Dusk -- their best album, though no one will admit it.
Bad things: The lackluster Replacements album. They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days ranked higher than Blondertongueaudiobaton. Bossanova, but no Trompe le Monde. Moby's Ambient.

i think these lists of opinion by lots of people are extraordinarily useful in todays music world -- i can only admire Ned's useful hyper-qualified effort here -- i wish that more of people's big lists were so good at qualification, on rationale.
and Ned seems to like participating here, which makes the list potentially 'interactive' (cool) (well that's up to him, all those hyper-qualifications enough volunteering already).
Thank You Ned.

That's not even that great an album. Is Dead is much better. There's nothing whiter than listing 3 Feet High on your hip-hop best-of. Okay, except for listing PM Dawn.

Yer welcome. The list -- which was composed a year before the start of ILX, to give it some context -- was very much a combination of whim and opportunity, but it seems to have lasted as an interesting enough personal document. But yeah, actually talking about every record -- which I did while listening to each specific one as I went -- is I think its best feature in the end.

Weird..."Show Business" is a weak track!? Frankly, I think hip hop hit a peak in the early 90s of flat-out PERFECTION that it has been unable to attain since...I'm not sure how you can dismiss albums like "Hard to Earn," "Illmatic," "Ready to Die," or "The Sun Rises..." as having filler tracks. Sounds sorta crazy to me...that was the peak of the Q-Tip-Large Pro-DJ Premier-Pete Rock production explosion, where the creativity and progressive production of the hip hop albums were achievements unsurpassed today...frankly, I find myself more bored listening to a lot of rock albums from the early 90s - Pearl Jam, RHCP, etc. etc. etc. than I do listening to hip hop. And indie rock, as a general rule, bores me SENSELESS. I do love My Bloody Valentine though.
