6. The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
7. Mark Ronson - Version

You need to hear these to remind yourself how bland 'alternative' music can be.

I agree with a lot of what you say on this board... However, the inclusion of IV, Nevermind and OK Computer in this list is not amongst them. And i think ITAOTS get's an unfair bashing because of some stupid fanboys. It is, in my opinion, a very good album.

1. You have no damn clue what I listen to and what I enjoy, so piss off.

2. If you are implying that listening to anything from before this decade is "living in the past", then you obviously don't appreciate what you listen to beyond a superficial level anyway. What are you going to do when everything you love now is considered outdated by everyone born past 1995 after they grow up?

And thirdly, its an unfortunate reality over here that every damn hipster who can't think outside their stupid scene within a hundred miles of me worship Sigur Ros, Death Cab For Cutie, Coldplay, etc. so I'll call things how I see them.

lol, you sort of missed his point. Saying that he and others listing Sigur Ros only listen to music post-2002 is as pointless as saying you live in the past.

I own a few of them and stick by my post. Nevermind bores me after a few tracks. IV is a rock lbum that if it came out in 88 and with a sugar coated topping would be album of the month ( Rock N roll? pfft). OK Computer is the ultimate zeitgeist album. Neutral Milk Hotel? Mark Hollis perefected angst ten years earlier but chose not be a wimp about it.

you were doing great until this point...

I actually listen to everything, except hip-hop and rap which are not my thing, I just don't like them, a lot of people do, but I don't...
I listen to everything. from Elvis to Muse, and from Nancy Sinatra to Ozzy Osbourne, and my favorite band is Pink Floyd btw. but that's not the point anw...I'm not trying here to make a point against your musical tastes, as far as I know, we may even like some of the same bands, but I'm however tired of people saying that today's music is worthless, because it isn't...

Probably shouldn't have vented, but my old roommate said the exact damn thing "() is the album I want playing when I die" to me not even a week ago, and he's a poster child for scene children everywhere. = /

So yeah, deja vu's a bitch.

spark10036: Modern music isn't worthless, its the fans who elevate one or two bands and ignore everyone else who isn't releasing some new single on a big label that are the problem. In either case, I apologize; shouldn't have assumed what and what you didn't listen to, I just jumped the gun a bit, lol!

I admit if i want a Nirvana fix i turn to In Utero 9/10 but i still think Nevermind has a lot of merit. IV is one of Zep's most dynamic offerings, it brings so much more to the table than what you're suggesting and fuses many influences to create something brimmming with power and soul. OK Computer i think is transcendant of time and space. Alienation, stagnation and anxiety are unfortunately synonymous with the human condition and i think lyrically there are few better albums that explore this so succinctly. Plus i still think it is very relevant in todays social climate. As for Neutral Milk Hotel, i dont see what they and Talk Talk have in common? All i can say is i love the music.
