I once frequented the record shop on the second floor of the old Rust Bldg. in Tacoma in 1961-62, while stationed at Ft. Lewis. A lovely young girl who worked there recommended any number of LP’s to me, many of which I still have. We were able to go into booths to play records before purchasing, as I recall. Those were the days of Century 21 in Seattle – lots of folk music. I often hung out at a place called “The End,” on South Tacoma Way, across from Steve’s Gay 90′s. Fond memories.

Sorry, I was pretty wasted when I wrote my post. So sorry to annoy you. I guess I should stick to lurking here. Gosh.

@ jtb

I heartedly do think that my 90′s list is comparable in musical weight, texture, and resonance to your list. Listenability, not so much…NIN and Pantera take time.

I assure you that each of these works is far more than a collection of tunes or singles, these are complete masterpieces from beginning to end.

Proof that amazing music is still being created? Here you go a fun cover:

@ Kevindust:,

I don’t have a problem with any of your selections. However, with the possible exception of the Pearl Jam album, none of these works actually leads anywhere else; for that matter, they aren’t really “works” at all–just arbitrary collections of tunes, one or two of which per album can be made into a music video.

Having said that, I want my choices in music to be respected by others, so I am happy to respect yours or anybody’s. If you think your 90s list is comparable in musical weight, texture, resonance, and listenability to my 70s list, then live and be well.

@ WVKay — Yes.
