Yeah it`s always been one of my favourites , i can`t stand most of the singles off that album now.Thats probably due to them being played to death over the past 15 or so years

Carrying on ...


92. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus (2004)

I can`t believe how awesome this record is. And it`s just so big sounding. It`s the kind of album i`ve been waiting for Nick Cave to come out with ever since I first heard him in 1994, before i`d always thought he was good but there was just something that stopped him coming out with a truly great album .Anyway he`s done it & this is an epic work of genius.

Favourite Songs - Get Ready for Love , Cannibal's Hymn , There She Goes My Beautiful World


91. Echo And The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1984)

The Bunnymen`s influence on modern American indie is ****ing huge yet for some reason I don`t think they get anywhere near the credit they deserve. You ask any current Indie darlings of the press who`ve not ripped off the entire Gang Of Four back catalogue who they were inspired by & you can bet they`ll say the Bunnymen.Anyway this album was them at their peak. Their next album was their biggest selling but it`s a pale imitation of this one.

Favourite songs - The Killing Moon , Silver , Seven Seas


90. The Cramps - Off The Bone (1983)

OK I cheated , this is a singles compilation. But then i`ve never really been a big fan of theirs.I just like this because it`s a nice little package of their best stuff so you really don`t need to bother with the rest.And I think they did the whole 1950s B movie thing much much better than the Misfits ever did.

Favourite songs - Human Fly , Garbageman , Drug Train


89. Nirvana - Nevermind (1991)

I really don`t need to say anything about this do I ?

^^Fever is a good track on that album, although Bad Music for Bad People would be my favorite cramps album.

Can't wait for the whole list.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I can not think of a single cramps song I don't like. I should know I own:
Bad Music For Bad People,A Date With Elvis,Songs The Lord Taught Us,Stay Sick, Look Mom No Head,and Flamejob. I also agree they acomplished the b mobie aura better than the misfits. With names like Lux Interior, and Poison Ivy.

Your list is getting interesting, some good choices, though i am kinda shocked to see revolver so low, that would be my number 1 actualy, im not bitching though, its your opinion so there is no right or wrong ranking...Can't wait to see the rest of your list.

I agree with you about the Cramps. I've actually never even heard much by them but Off the Bone because it isn't my favorite preference of music, but I do enjoy giving it a listen once in a while - it's great to have all their best songs (I'm guessing) in one place.

As for Nirvana, the only thing you need to say is why you put it all the way at 89! Haha just kidding, and great list by the way it has a lot of amazing albums I haven't listened to or even thought about in a while.

You got me wanting to do this. Why is GNR's Appetite so damned late on this list.

Oh well....your list.
