Holy **** this is just brutal.If you want sheer raw noise this beats about 99% of most metal albums i`ve ever heard.Which isn`t bad considering it a hip hop album. If only more hip hop was like this.And no I didn`t choose this because of the Doctor Who connection , so there.

Favourite songs - Asylum (Permanent Underclass), In The Midst Of Struggle, Opiate The Masses


99. Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup (1996)

Ahhhhhh , Krautrock influences mixed with pure pop melodies and not to mention Laetitia Sadier`s gorgeous horny voice.There is just so much going on in this record dance , hip hop , electronica , pop , rock , jazz , dub....... you have to listen to it again & again just to get everything.

Favourite songs - Metronomic Underground, Cyberies Revenge , Les Yper-Sound


97 Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets (1973)

I`ll be honest , i`ve never actually heard that much of Eno`s solo stuff.Not even the album he did with David Byrne. I bought this album for the simple reason that it`s his first solo album AND because basically it`s a Roxy Music album without Bryan Ferry. It` s a lot more guitar based than I imagined an Eno solo album to be and the lyrics are just plain odd.But it does have this quirky charm to it. Very strange yet very compelling

Favourite Songs - Needles In The Camel`s Eye , Baby`s On Fire , Driving Me Backwards
Holy **** this list is starting off great. I found Dalek because of a thread someone made on here a while ago - perhaps jackhammer? I'm not sure. But I've loved them since. Emperor Tomato Ketchup blows my mind. It's such an eclectic mix, but maintains that same Stereolab sound throughout. A masterpiece in my mind. And Brian Eno... well, I'm not a big fan of Roxy Music, but I do really appreciate his solo stuff (the little bit that I've heard anyway). Looking forward to finishing reading this list, and a new one if that's what you meant and there is indeed an updated version on here. Guess I'll find out!

Whoops double post. But apparently I had seen this before, cuz I posted on it about the Cramps back when I was phantom133pz. I like them a lot more then I did back then too, it would appear. Good thread. I'm gonna finish reading all your new commentary soon. I'm very seriously wanting to do a top 100 of my own and I'm reading through to see how much it seems I need to write on each one based on all the dozens of other ones on here.

I have to thank this thread for convincing me to get 'Low' and 'Screamadelica'. They are two albums I feel like I have been waiting for all my life. Both give me everything I have ever wanted from music all in one album.

I don't know why, but I got the impression that you DIDN'T like Sabbath's "Sabotage" album. Guess I was wrong. It is a favorite of mine as well. Some of the most brutal Ozzy/Sabbath tracks are on that album.

Also, I've never gotten the chance to thank you Urban for convincing me to buy some Pavement. I got Wowee Zowee deluxe edition, and that's basically when I got into indie music. One of my favorite albums now, so a BIG thanks to you!

Also, being 4-5 years since you made this list, are there any albums in there you would definitely switch out now? Have your tastes since then changed substantially or do you feel this is still a good representation of your 100 favorite albums?

this type of list is always making great debate but agree with half of the albums in top 10
