if you want hip hop pop and rnb then you better hope mike does a poll because I think you all know they're not my forte

looking over those contemporaneous lists, Arrested Development was a mass delusion the likes of which were unseen until Tune-yards. I bought it! And dropped it back off a few months later.

even moreso than Big & Rich?

Soul Asylum forgotten too

Oooohhh I could go for some Sloan and Bettie Serveert

I'd say prob my biggest sadface omission is probably Dadamah's This is Not a Dream, which always sounds to me like Roy Montgomery trying to do his own, more goth-drenched, version of The Clean
(but that's prob a little libellous tbh; Roy himself said the model was Red Krayola, which I can kinda hear also)

Tune-Yards is still good

hadn't heard the Dadamah - This is Not a Dream album before. it sounds great

Some really, really good records on that list. Voted for Spiritualized, just ahead of Aphex, Godflesh, the Young Gods and REM.
A pity Valhalla Avenue didn't make the list. It's maybe the best Irish album ever made.

I bought it too. And you're right, it was painfully earnest. Kulkarni in Melody Maker called it rap for white people.
I did like the way they wilfully sabotaged their own career on the next album by giving it a completely incomprehensible title and having no tunes on it.

Darkthrone won out in the end.

I have enjoyed this series of polls. Honourable mentions for Aphex and Prodigy but Pharcyde all the way for me in this one.

Oops I see that’s only on the bubbling under list so voted Prodigy

their music may have lived on in all of our hearts but thankfully their penchant for wearing baggy jeans backwards never caught on

Had no trouble voting, but “Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock” should have been an option too.

no compilations allowed iirc

I love Automatic so yay

Surprised that Godflesh didn't get a single vote. That's an incredible album.

Because I was transitioning fully into rave music at the time, I don't think I ever actually heard the entirety of that Godflesh album.

Damn just now realizing Kiko and The Lavender Moon was snubbed

You can't snub an album you've never heard of!

It's amazingly single-minded in its whole sound. I love records that just zero in murderously on one thing and execute it to perfection.

Amen to the other Kyuss voter. I feel I should have chucked a vote to Trouble though.
I really like that whole period of Def America: Masters of Reality, Danzig, Jayhawks, Trouble, Black Crowes, Slayer, Red Devils, Flipper, Raging Slab. Can probably pass over Andrew Dice Clay.
