Alex 34235 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 In no particular order. Â The Sundays - Reading, Writing, Arithmetic Chemical Brothers - Dig Your own hole Happy Mondays - Pills & Thrills Primal Scream - Screamadelica Leftfield - Leftism KLF - Chill Out Underworld - Dub no bass Portishead - Dummy Massive Attack - Blue Lines Daft Punk - Daft Punk Didn't even see your list when I did mine.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Didn't even see your list when I did mine. Canny I changed the Chemical's one to Exit Planet Dust, apart from the Sundays its just a list of classic British rave / club scene albums. Obviously Daft Punk are honorary. Â Speaking of which, saw both Daft Punk & Goldie at the same gig at Back to Basics around 97. They were DJ'ing not PA'ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 They weren't wearing robot suits anyway. The hype around that gig at the time was unbelievable, people came from every corner of the country for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16694 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Loads I agree and disagree with on here, just to say no one has mentioned Copper Blue by Sugar which is one of my favourite peices of work by anyone in any decade. . Other hounorable mentions,just stuff thats not been mentioned that I enjoyed, no particular order...  Luscious Jackson: In Search of Manny  Dr Octagon: Dr Octagonecologyst  Nine Inch Nails: Pretty Hate Machine, Broken and Fixed eps, Downward Spiral...hard to choose a favourite tbh..  The Bluetones: Learning to fly  Longpigs: The Sun is often Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20550 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Â Â The Rollercoaster tour they did just prior to the release of Honey's Dead was amazing, I timed a trip to London just to make sure I saw the Brixton Academy show. First support Blur who had only just released Leisure, Dinosaur Jr 2nd support, My Bloody Valentine main support and JMC who were at the top of their game at that stage. Fucking awesome. Â Fond memories of the rollercoaster tour which I saw in Manchester Apollo iirc. Really can't be arsed to get into these lists though as music is so personal.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Anyone telling someone else what shouldn't be on their list, have a word tbh  If you first got laid in the 90s and an album was playing at the time your view of that album might be different to others.  That goes for many other situations.....first time high, first time dumped etc.  We associate music with moments personal to us...that's what the beauty of it is. Our tastes age with us. If I want to know the critically acclaimed albums you see in EVERY end of decade list I can go to any number of websites. The interesting part of this thread though is to find out about other posters on toontastic.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 32001 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've never really been into buying albums much but I did buy 2 Cranberries albums as well as Portishead's 'dummy', in the nineties. Also got blur's album which I thought was quite shit/ordinary at the time. Â Anyone getting too much into music when I was a teenager in the mid-late eighties were suspected of being a puff round wor way. (Yes it was that sad and no doubt I've missed out on some decent music but I've got to say, when it comes to these sort of lists there's a bit of the 'emperors new clothes' syndrome goes on).

NJS 4281 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Nowt wrong with good country music young man !! Â I really like steel/slide guitar if its used in the right context (big fan of early Texas and Mazzy Star) and I'm sometimes drawn to country music though I'm wary of it - I have a couple of Emmylou Harris albums which I like. Â Do you have any recommendations along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Do you have any recommendations along those lines? Â Not necessarily along those lines (and I realise y'weren't asking me), but the names I tend to throw out there if people are looking for entry points for contemporary country/crossover would be the likes of Justin Townes Earle, Caitlin Rose, Jamey Johnson, Chatham County Line, Elizabeth Cook... maybe Lucinda Williams too, albeit we're venturing firmly away from yee-haw territory there. Get thee to YouTube/Spotify and see if any of those take your fancy, I'm sure my Nashville-obsessed better half can dredge up some more ideas if need be!
