They're actually pretty good. They're what I think of when people say melodic hardcore. They're like the evolution of Dag Nasty. So like don't actually put that album up because no one likes it but me but I thought a mention was necessary.


The Feelies-Crazy Rythms deserves it for being like most underrated overrated or overrated underrated post-punk album.

Those are all too mainstream and unhip.

Except for Highway 61, which IMO is the worst album out of those.

Aside from 61 and BOTT, nothing by Dylan really impresses me outside of lyrical content. Blonde on Blonde I didn't care for at all.

And another thing. Whats so "poetic" about Odelays lyrics? One thing that stands out about that album is how spectacularly random and meaningless the lyrics are.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a real quality album.

But I wouldn't call it emo or poetic.

Doesn't it have that Bridge song? I actually might add it, would anyone be opposed to extending this to 100 albums?

Yeah, but it, Breaking The Girl and I Could Have Lied are the only ballads. Everything else is funk.

Some of the tracks that stand out to me are The Power Of Equality, Mellowship Slinky In B Major, Apache Rose Peacock and Sir Pscyho Sexy. The latter two especially, the lyrics are so laughably lowbrow and crude but the music really grooves. I really wish RHCP would return to their funk roots.

Californication has better musicianship, vocals, more mature lyrcs, and is more diverse lyrically. I'd put it in the top 50. There are tons of albums that don't deserve to be on the list.
