92. Be Your Own Pet- Be Your Own Pet- 2006

Thurston Moore liked this band so much he signed them to his own record label Estatic Peace. It is quite easy to see why with the slightly insane Jemina Pearl singing and shouting away and the noise pop sound of the music. While recording this album they were all still in high school and they all look very fresh faced and ready to rock. The evidence of this can be shown at none other than at the All Tomorrow's Parties Nightmare Before Christmas 2006 curated by Sonic Youth were they were joined by Thurston himself more interested in helping them completely trash the set than helping with the music side of things.

Be Your Own Pet are definitely not for everyone with vocal schizophrenia from Jemina blasting out of your speakers only interupted by a couple of high quality slower songs and these are probably the picks of the album. If they expand on this album next time and slightly refine their sound then my top 100 will be different.

Key Songs- Adventure, October, First Account, Ouch

91. Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights- 2002

So what Interpol are Joy Division in the new millennium they have enough about them to still be a very good band. The similar case is for Editors and the Bunnymen although the former were less lucky about being included in the list.

This is a sweaping debut of solid songs from the New Yorkers from Untitled to Leif Erikson this is a dreary listen but if you are prepared to take it then you might find it quite rewarding.

Key Songs: NYC, the Obstacles, PDA

90. AC/DC- Highway to Hell- 1979

There just had to be an AC/DC album here somewhere. The greatest band ever to have all of its songs somehow connected to sex and women (look at the track list on this album for proof if you need it). Although die hard fans might know better albums by them in my mind Highway to Hell is the only one I could put into the list.

Last album with the alcoholic genius that is Bon Scott before the predictable happened and they were lucky to find a somewhat suitable replacement in Brian Johnson. Whether they are a Scottish or Austrialian hard rock band who cares they are most fun you are going to have in this genre in my opinion. There are so many good songs on Highway to Hell no wonder it made them legends and mainstream all at once. Angus Young is unstoppable and if you try to resist you are sure to be crushed.

Key Songs: Highway to Hell, Walk All over You, Night Prowler
