Sup Guys. These would be the albums that I totally love and adore.

Pearl Jam - Live on Two Legs

I must say one of the best albums ever, not to mention one of the best live albums ever. Accompanied me in every high and low in my life.

Smashing Pumpins - Siamese Dreams

this album was my best friend. Through all the nights trying to get some sleep or just doing my homework or work or watever.

DJ Shadow - Live In tune and In Time

This album is amazing. During my electronica phase, this album amazes me to this day.

Albums I listened to today.

The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
I think if you break this up to just singles its really good but it lacks as an album. A Rush and a Push and the Land is hours and I Won't Share You are two of my favorite Smiths openers and closers though.
8/10

Big Black - Songs About ****ing
I tried to listen to this during school today and sort of succeeded but I couldn't because of the people around me. It was funny telling them I was listening to Songs About ****ing though.

The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls In America
I think this is the one of the greatest rock albums of the 00s, forget all that Chiodos crap.
8/10

Beck - Odelay
Forget Nevermind, this is the best album of the 90s. Okay not really but its up there.
9/10

Big Black - Songs About ****ing
Steve Albini is probably one of the most talented people to ever grace alternative music. The classics he produced are countless, the people he's worked with ranging from Frank Black to Joanna Newsom to Kurt Cobain and making his own music too. Rapeman rules also, where would we be without him?
10/10

Ahhh Big Black, good stuff.

I tend to prefer Shellac to any other Albini bands, but they're all great.

I like Shellac best too (for the most part I kind of find the last album lacking in parts) but Songs About Fucking is just so perfect.

Excellent Italian Greyhound? Agreed, it definitely wasn't Shellac's best effort, but still enjoyed it quite a bit. Todd is one of my favourite drummers.

Have you heard Atomizer by Big Black? I always find it difficult to choose between that and Songs About Fucking, they are both so great. "Kerosene" is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Kerosene is their best song, but Song About ****ing is the better album.

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
probably a masterpiece hasn't left rotation since it came out.

Licorice Roots - Shades of Streamers
Psychedelic fun.

Leftover Crack - **** World Trade
Loved it when it came out, kind of a "re-discovery" for me.

I have but I just prefer Songs About Fucking. I think it's because I just have more history with it. Either way both are the shit.
