88. This Year’s Model – Elvis Costello

Costello has one of the more distinctive voices in music. And honestly, you don’t really expect it coming from a guy like that. Poppy and peppy, his music all sort of flows into one trip, and depending on your style, it’ll go down smooth as wine, or well, hell, everybody should like it. This man’s one hell of a songwriter!

87. Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One – Olivia Tremor Control

The Elephant Six are a favorite of mine and this is the first of their albums to grace this list. This album is literally brimming with pop goodness. Elephant Six bands seem to be very divisive, some find them boring or just mediocre, and some worship them. I’m closer to the latter than the former. Eh, we can’t choose what immediately gets to us and penetrates to our core, can we?

92. Hootenanny – The Replacements

Color Me Impressed is a great song.

YESYESYESYESYES. This album is fantastic. Most people I talk to prefer Dusk at Cubist Castle but I prefer Black Foliage by a lot. Have you listened to Circulatory System at all, Davey?

i never caught the Replacements train. there's just some inherent quality about their music that rubs me the wrong way. i tried listening to Let It Be and Hootenanny the other day and nope, still don't like either.

otherwise solid picks, dude. would this perchance be a one album/artist list?

I love The Replacements.

And it's interesting to see you doing this really fast. My boo boo 101 is expected to be finished by 2021.

that's why i'm not creating mine until i have 1-100 completely ironed out. :D

Exactly that. Mine is being compiled on my PC as is a WIP and has been for 4 months now and then it can be put up fairly quickly.

No, this won't be 1 artist per album list. That's too hard for me :)

86. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back – Public Enemy

Chuck D. would have done great standing alongside Malcolm X in the sixties, talking about black power and such. It’s funny that one of the greatest rappers of all time grew up in a suburban type area, Chuck D, and not an intensely urban setting. And who could forget the skinny black guy with a Viking hat and a clock swinging from his neck. This is a vintage album from rap’s glory days.

85. Tago Mago – Can

Man, what a mind**** this album is. I only wish these guys came out with it later so the sonic landscape could be improved and we could hear even more experimental brilliance. Germans have always been good at music(Beethoven anyone?), but around this time, the krauts had yet another resurgence, pushing the boundaries of what music could really do. I salute you, Can.
