Thomas Dolby.....Aliens Ate My Buick
Los Lobos...Just Another Band from East LA

Sorry, I forgot all about that, since there are so many new members since that though, I thought it would be a good idea to resurrect a similar thread. Top 10 > Top 5 :D

Thanks.

Just because you were wrong.

[Malaga CF fan]

I didn't post on that other thread listed, so I'm free to get 10 in here. Nice...

U2 - Achtung Baby
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
Nirvana - Nevermind
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Beck - Odelay
Radiohead - Kid A/OK Computer
The Smiths - Louder than Bombs

Man, I'm glad I don't have to live with only 10 albums. This 10 would be great, but this only scratches the surface.

[SirManchester]

Thanks.

What was I wrong about? The thread title suggests everyone posts a top 10, and in my first post I suggest everyone should post at least a top 10, but not feel limited, obviously people would want to elaborate on their lists. I'm not wrong, you are in your silly claims, and like I said, don't waste your time posting here about this anymore.

[Placid Casual]

To be serious:

Ride - Nowhere
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Love - Forever Changes
Flip Your Wig - Husker Du
Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere.
Super Furry Animals - Radiator
The Clash - The Clash
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Scott Walker - Sings Jacques Brel
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in Space

This was tough - easier to list 30-40 and still just scratch the surface
