| My Favorite Contemporary Albums
Simply my favie's from roughly 1990 until present. You will probably find it somewhat generic, you bastard. | | 1 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
Emo, Power-pop, Nerdcore, whatever the heck you want to call it, this album is one of the best of its time. Also one of the best concept albums I can think of. | | 2 |  | Interpol
Antics
I will probably get a lot of flak for choosing this album, but as a whole I enjoy this one more. The music seems to tell a story, while not even presumably being a concept album. | | 3 |  | Tool
Lateralus
Progressive metal at its finest. So dark and brooding, its soundscape will leave you breathless. Top it off with Maynard's mantra voice, and you have yourselves a winner kiddies. | | 4 |  | Radiohead
OK Computer
This doesn't even need any comment. Words could never describe this work of art. /fanboy | | 5 |  | At the Drive-In
Relationship of Command
One of the forerunner's of the post-hardcore genre got a taste of the big time with this album. One Armed Scissor is still probably my favorite post-hardcore song. | | 6 |  | The Mars Volta
De-Loused in the Comatorium
We are given a trip though the life of Cerpin Taxt, and boy what an amazing trip that is. Especially considering we have some of the best musicians of the century taking us along the ride. (WHY DID THEY KICK OUT JON!1! WHY!!!) | | 7 |  | Smashing Pumpkins
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness | | 8 |  | The Shins
Chutes Too Narrow | | 9 |  | Muse
Absolution | | 10 |  | Oceansize
Effloresce | |

05.24.07 | Sorry about the lack of explanations for the last four, I accidentally pushed enter and it removed my change to add comments on them. | Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
05.24.07 | props for | Waterloo_Sunset
05.24.07 | I find Absolution abit too pretencious, Origin of Symmetry is much better - but i like your list lots of good albums from good bands! | Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
05.24.07 | ^ups...
props for #3 and 9.
and for #4, until i see awesomeness in it everyone's raning about, i actually have a comment: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | Bfhurricane
05.24.07 | Absolution is really good | astrel
05.24.07 | I was honestly quite torn between choosing Absolution or Origin of Symmetry. I think I like Absolution more as a whole, but Citizen Erased is probably my favorite Muse song though. | astrel
05.24.07 | I just realized I forgot The Mollusk by Ween...yeah, that album is pretty much perfect as well. | Monticello
05.24.07 | Absolution definitely feels more complete, but I prefer the (colder?) feel from Origin of Symmetry, and like you say, Origin has citizen erased.
Awesome list though, great choices. | samthebassman
05.25.07 | Cool list.
