'Lucky and Tourist should be in the OKC top 5'



First half of 'Ok Computer' is the heavy hitter for me, always has been. Classic tracks though, as is Karma Police.



The rest is slightly below though 'Climbing Up the Walls' is the sputcore track on the album as someone will prove in 1, 2, 3...

Three of my '90s top 10 I didn't listen to first during the decade itself which makes me feel like a bit of a turd, but those albums are just so good they have to feature

If I'm being honest I listen to 'Troublegum' more than any of that top 10 so I should probably squeeze it in there.



F'ck it, revised:



1. Radiohead - Ok Computer



2. Tindersticks - Tindersticks



3. Nirvana - In Utero



4. Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs



5. Low - I Could Live in Hope



6. Talk Talk - Laughing Stock



7. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream



8. Sunhouse - Crazyontheweekend



9. Therapy? - Troublegum



10. Cat Power - Moon Pix





No two albums by the same artist, makes me happy.

Good to see 'Tindersticks II' make the cut Zak, I like the idea of a Lambchop album crashing my '90s top 10 but I can't quite justify it, despite having their first two albums rated a 5 (just like the 'Sticks)

That's a highly flexible list though and I'm sure I still have tons of classics to uncover, just give me time.

Nice top 10 Boney, check the Cat Power - not sure you'll dig, strange song writer, almost a female Bill Callahan/Smog, but I think it's one that everyone should check if they want to delve into the '90s

For me I don’t think Ladies and Gents will ever be shaken from the top, I don’t even listen to the thing that often but it’s just ingrained in me brain to honour it for life as the greatest album that’s been released in my lifetime.

I need to revisit it, the way you describe it the closest thing I'd say for me is The Flaming Lips 'The Soft Bulletin' - it's a perfect album...but I rarely spin it

Least Loveless didn’t make any of our top tens. I’d have been livid :D
