Sunny Day Real Estate " Diary" (1994) (Post-emo)

Started the whole post-emo movement, swim can back me on this needing to be on here.

I'll think about more albums, i'll probably type up a reason for either/or in a bit also. I would like to do XO but I doubt it was as influential.

/backs.

Yea it's pretty essential.

Catch 22-Keasby Nights[1998]

Though I personally like Dinosaur Sounds more.

Fugazi-13 Songs [1989]
what post hardcore is really about.

I can't remember if this one the list but if it isn't it definitely needs to be
Husker Du-Zen Arcade [1984]

I back all swims also.

Elliott Smith "Either/Or" (1997) (Singer/Songwriter)

Influential on alot of indie/singer/songwriters after, you can tell by the amount of songs dedicated to him after his death, Ben Folds, Beck, Rilo Kiley, Lou Barlow etc and the album itself is brilliant. All the instruments were played by Elliott I think.

I like self titled more but this thread isn't a really a what you like better thread it's more of a what would most people like thread.

I think Metallica-And Justice for All should be switched to either Ride the Lightning or Master Puppets. They're way better.

I like XO way more, but either/or was probably his most influential/well liked album.

Theirs also a bunch of genres/albums that were groundbreaking but get no attention, and other albums that weren't really groundbreaking but still amazing albums that did alot for their own genres. It would be a pretty lame list if was your typical bands and albums you see everywhere and it would also be pretty lame if it was a bunch of just favorite albums like you said, dude ranch or whatever.

Well isn't that what he was asking for? I thought the post was to post the classic albums everyone was talking about. I almost asked why he didnt just look for a list online to begin with. I guess I misunderstood what addissassasasas wanted.

At first I was about to explode because of the millennium comment before I realized you mean 2000 and beyond. It's pretty damn good. De Stijl is much better than Elephant. And I like Get Behind Me Satan better than Elephant - but I will call that personal preference.
