Jason never fails to surprise me, with so many albums under the (or at least my) radar, so it makes it very interesting. His description and outline of even the obscure stuff makes me want to check them out, which of course is a big reason for these lists. Joe hit more of my sweet spot this series; not that big a fan of Jason’s top three (though Grace in particular is great), though I have all those albums. I think the STP album and Blur’s Parklife are my favourite of the year. Thx guys; a really fun series as always. Cheers, JPE

Yeah they really nailed that. The 1990's were when I grew up and being of a different generation they found the best most iconic albums the kids were listening to in those days.

1. Wildflowers- Tom Petty 2. Grace - Jeff Buckley (more like 1B, such a hard choice to pick between two perfect albums, but today Tom gets the nod) 3. Monster - REM 4. Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains 5. The Division Bell - Pink Floyd 6. MTV Unplugged - Nirvana 7. Superunknown - Soundgarden 8. Weezer - Weezer 9. 11 Tracks of Whack - Walter Becker 10. Purple - Stone Temple Pilots 11. Voodoo Lounge - Rolling Stones 12. Throwing Copper - Live 13. Sixteen Stone - Bush 14. Dookie - Green Day 15. Definitely Maybe - Oasis 16. Hell Freezes Over - Eagles 17. No Need to Argue - Cranberries 18. Hoist - Phish 19. Four - Blues Traveler 20. The Downward Spiral- Nine Inch Nails 21. Under the Pink - Tori Amos 22. Live Through This - Hole 23. Cracked Rear View- Hootie & the Blowfish 24. Rotting Pinata- Sponge 25. Where It All Begins- Allman Brothers

One of my favourite year ever: 1) Three Mile Pilot - Chief Assassin 2) Lisa Germano - Geek The Girl 3) Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime 4) Bark Psychosis - Hex 5) Shellac - At Action Park 6) Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - Strangers from the universe 7) Unwound - New Plastic Ideas 8) Today is the day - Willpower 9) Dazzling Killmen - Face of Collapse 10) Portishead - Dummy

Today is the Day is 👌

Teenager of the Year is so underrated. So many little gems. And thanks for mentioning Superchunk, basically untouchable in their genre in the mid-90s

1. Grace - Jeff Buckley 2. Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 3. Superunknown - Soundgarden

I found out about Grace from VH1 as well. I got it when Tower was having a Black Friday sale. Also picked up London Calling and the first Cars album. Also got into his dad. Two talented guys with great voices who died too soon.

I had to stop the video and look up the word je ne sais quoi. Great list Jason. Loved the Frank Black, Smoking Popes picks and others. I learned about Grace first after receiving my Rolling Stone, August 1997 issue in the mail. Then I bought it, listened and it blew my mind. I picked up the Legacy Edition in 2004.

My top 25: 25. Sloan - Twice Removed 24. Jeff Buckley - Grace 23. Magnetic Fields - The Charm of the Highway Strip 22. Cake - Motorcade of Generosity 21. They Might Be Giants - John Henry 20. Stone Temple Pilots - Purple 19. Sebadoh - Bakesale 18. Unwound - New Plastic Ideas 17. Lush - Split 16. Dinosaur Jr - Without a Sound 15. Portishead - Dummy 14. Suede - Dog Man Star 13. Soundgarden - Superunknown 12. Built to Spill - There’s Nothing Wrong With Love 11. Elliott Smith - Roman Candle 10. Nirvana - MTV Unplugged 9. Pulp - His n Hers 8. Pearl Jam - Vitalogy 7. Magnetic Fields - Holiday 6. Weezer - Blue Album 5. Blur - Parklife 4. Ween - Chocolate and Cheese 3. Pavement - Crooked Rain 2. Low - I Could Live in Hope 1. John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes

A very solid list, Jason. Although I’m unfamiliar with a few of those artists, I’d be willing to them a gander some time. But I’m glad you gave ‘ Carnival of Light ‘ some love. Took a little while for it to grow on me, but now I think it’s Ride’s best album. And I’m also a pretty big fan of both Too High To Die from MP and Sponge’s Rotting Piñata. I should have listed them in my top 15 which I had previously sent in. I think the variety of rock released in ‘94 was exceptional. Oh and, Go Pirates !! 😆

Cool that Jason included the Nick Lowe album, I like that a lot. Agree with both of you that the Freedy Johnston album is overlooked. Gotta put a plug in for my favorite album of the year, Horsebreaker Star by Grant McLennan, which I think is even better than all the Go Betweens albums, except maybe 16 Lovers Lane.

Here's my list: 25. Tom Petty - Wildflowers 24. Dinosaur Jr. - Without a Sound 23. BBM (Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Gary Moore) - Around the Next Dream 22. Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon 21. Angelfish - Angelfish 20. Sebadoh - Bakesale 19. Marillion - Brave 18. Stone Roses - Second Coming 17. Glenn Hughes - From Now On... 16. Neil Young - Sleeps With Angels 15. Dream Theater - Awake 14. Jimmie Vaughan - Strange Pleasure 13. The Smithereens - A Date With the Smithereens 12. Bruce Dickinson - Balls to Picasso 11. Sass Jordan - Rats 10. Stone Temple Pilots - Purple 9. The Allman Brothers Band - Where It All Begins 8. Soundgarden - Superunknown 7. Sugar - File Under: Easy Listening 6. Suede - Dog Man Star 5. Everything But the Girl - Amplified Heart 4. Hole - Live Through This 3. Live - Throwing Copper 2. Tori Amos - Under the Pink 1. Jeff Buckley - Grace

Nice call on Rotting Piñata by Sponge. Album actually really holds up…..Got to check out that Sorted Humor record

Glad to see some love for Latin Playboys!

Great lists for ‘94 - it was nice to see variety and genre hopping here. Yeah, “Grace” is just a mammoth album and artist. Definitely give Portishead another try someday 😅

I agree about Nick Lowe, I still haven't heard every album of his but I have heard a bunch now and every single one has been at least very good. He hasn't let me down yet. "True Love Travels on a Gravel Road" is also the big highlight of the album for me, I knew it and loved it before I heard the rest of the album. I'm excited to see what he has in store for us later this year. I don't understand the talk of Too High To Die being a step down for the Meat Puppets either, never really have. I am a bigger fan of the 80s stuff than you but to me this is just an expansion of their sound. The things I love about them are still there, just enhanced now. So many great songs on that album, I pretty well saved half the album as highlights. Missed the Mick Ronson album but have really liked his 70s albums lately so I may have to go back to that one.

You guys did have a trifecta with Grace, but it was for song of the year, and each picked a different song -- which I thought was entirely fitting for such a incredible album.

the two albums from 1994 that I'm a little surprised that neither of you picked are Ill Communication by the Beastie Boys and Monster by REM.

Not into the '90s enough for a deep-dive, these are a holdover from what I was listening to in '94: 1. Oasis - Definitely Maybe 2. Tom Petty - Wildflowers 3. Tragically Hip - Day For Night 4. Beastie Boys - Ill Communication 5. Soundgarden - Superunknown 6. REM - Monster 7. Cranberries - No Need To Argue 8. Weezer - Weezer 9. Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain 10. Portishead - Dummy 11. Jesus and Mary Chain - Stoned and Dethroned 12. Veruca Salt - American Thighs 13. Tori Amos - Under the Pink 14. Live - Throwing Copper 14. Green Day - Dookie 15. Sponge - Rotting Pinata

These are all of the albums I've ranked (I've added 5 or so from your two lists) 1) Four - Blues Traveler - (4.5 stars) (I love this upbeat album - their other albums don't really compare though) 2) Jar of Flies - Alice In Chains - (4.5) (I'm not sure why I never bought their albums when they came out as I always liked several songs on each) 3) Promised Land - Queensryche- (4.5) (No singles but very underrated and underappreciated - great dual guitars) 4) Division Bell - Pink Floyd - (4.5) (Gilmour's best post Waters guitar playing. The piano's are great but some of the synths and vocals are a bit cheesy (i.e. Wearing the Inside Out)) 5) Throwing Copper - Live - (4.5) (The singer never really bugged me and I played the first half of this this album to death back then. It kind of sounds like Pearl Jam mixed wtih R.E.M.) 6) Purple - Stone Temple Pilots - (4.5 stars) 7) For The Love Of Strange Medicine - Steve Perry- (4.5 stars) 8) Superunknown - Soundgarden - (4 stars) (was a 5 star if it only had the first 10 songs) 9) Seal - Seal - (4 stars) 10) Vitalogy - Pearl Jam - (4 stars) (Cut Bugs, Satan's Bed and the last song and it's 5 stars) 11) Grace - Jeff Buckley - (4 stars) (I definitely underrated his guitar compositional skills. I hear Jimmy Page and Johnny Marr at times. Grace and So Real are my personal faves. Half of the songs don't do much for me though.) 12) No Need to Argue - Cranberries - (4 stars) 13) Cracked Rear View - Hootie and the Blowfish - (4 stars) (I don't care how many hate this - it's a huge nostalgia hit of simpler times for me :) ) 14) Definitely Maybe - Oasis - (4 stars) 15) Dookie - Green Day - (4 stars) 16) Under the Table and Dreaming - Dave Matthews Band - (4 stars) 17) Rotting Pinata - Sponge - (3.5 stars) (I didn't know they sung Plowed) 18) Monster - R.E.M. - (3.5 stars) (A very Hit or Miss album for me) 19) Wildflowers - Tom Petty - (3.5 stars) 20) Weezer - Weezer - (3.5 stars) 21) Dulcinea - Toad the Wet Sprocket - (3.5 stars) 22) Whiskey for the Holy Ghost - Mark Lanegan - (3.5 stars) 23) Parklife - Blur - (3.5 stars) (A bit TOO british at times) 24) Amorica The Black Crowes - (3.5 stars) (love 'wiser time' but the rest is bland) 25) Chocolate and Cheese - Ween - (3.5 stars) (Sooo much better than the previous albums) 26) Walk On - Boston - (3 stars) 27) Royal Jelly - Royal Jelly - (3 stars) 28) Motorcade of Generosity - Cake - (3 stars) 29) John Henry - They Might Be Giants - (3 stars) 30) Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement - (3 stars) (The singer really hurts the band imo) 31) His n Hers - Pulp - (2.5 stars) 32) Could Live in Hope - Low - (2.5 stars) (more slowcore than dreampop - they have much better albums later on) 33) Dog Man Star - Suede - (2.5 stars) 34) The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails - (1 star)(too noisy for me)

I wouldnt have thought this would be the case when I bought it in 1994 - but these days I listen to Teenager of the Year much more than any of the Pixies albums. It's a brilliant record.

Oddly I was supposed to see Freedy Johnston at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis in 2002. He was going to open for Paul Kelly, who might be my favorite artist ever. It turned out Freedy was a no-show. So Paul Kelly played a longer set than expected. I was thrilled at that development. Paul, who is Australian, rarely ever makes it to the United States and I still am amazed I ever got a chance to see him. So thanks Freedy, wherever you are.

Having watched both of your top 25 lists for 1994 and scrolled down the comments I think 'Wildflowers' may well be the common denominator No.1 for the year.

Love these deep dives TLM.. keep them coming!

A very, very nice list Jason 👏

Cool to see Grace at # 1 ! Jeff pulled the excellent track Forget Her at the last moment for personal reasons. Early promotional copies have it & it's on the Deluxe reissue & Greatest Hits.

I was surprised how many albums I've not heard or listened to in entirety. One album I did not mention on Twitter that I like is the Page/Plant "No Quarter" with its reinterpretations of Zeppelin. In any event, seems I've got some more listening ahead of me.

Glad to see The Mavericks, keep flying the flag, Jason

i had rotting pinatta on my list , but like joe sponges 2nd album[wax estatic] is my fav of theirs easily

Almost every year since at least 2003 has been better with the lone exception of maybe 2009. -Jason

Wow you guys are amazing! This list, more than any other, proved that while you guys have individual tastes and preferences where bands and genres are concerned, most of all you are fans of good music. Jason came totally off the board with the Mavericks. My dad bought that album in 1994 and I loved it so much I stole it from him. I was like why do I love this so much? Why can't I stop listening to it? I don't even like country. So its cool he picked that one because that's the first time I ever heard some one mention.it And Joe with Parklife as his number 1. Perfect! What a great album. Great job. Loved this one. Joe's list was all stuff I had heard and would have rated the same and Jason's list was all those bands that are great but you never got into because back in the day you got turned off when the first CD you bought of there's crap. So I will be checking those out.

I tried to convey it in my comment on Joe's list video... but 1994 is loaded. Love seeing Impossible Bird, Foolish (iykyk), Amorica, Teenager of the Year... all more than worthy choices that didn't make my Top 25. Dinosaur Jr. too. Great one. Smoking Popes! Completely forgot about that band. It seems like Sponge has had some strange resurgence as of late. Maybe their discography has been getting reissued? Really enjoyed both lists. Definitely one of my favorite years for music ever. But, I'm a gen-xer so... Surprised by no Sloan!

I really like this year. One of my favorite years since the 70s 1. One Foot in the Grave - Beck 2. Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt - John Frusciante 3. Mellow Gold - Beck 4. Illmatic - Nas 5. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement 6. Weezer - Weezer 7. Chocolate and Cheese - Ween 8. Stereopathetic Soulmanure - Beck 9. Bee Thousand - Guided by Voices 10. Ill Communication - Beastie Boys 11. Starlite Walker - Silver Jews 12. Monster - REM 13. Dummy - Portishead 14. The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails 15. Grace - Jeff Buckley

Interesting picks by Jason. I knew his top albums list would have a heavy dose of indie. I'm gonna check out mick ronson's album. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Weezer album is so high. Grace is obviously a great album and understandable #1 pick.

Love your picks, Jason, it's like one mind!! Joe's was solid too, but my music taste tends to align more with Jason.

I think 1994 is a great year. Some great selections there - my top 10 are - 1. superunknown 2. Crooked rain crooked rain 3. Vitalogy 4. Grace 5. Weezer 6. Purple 7. Monster 8. Let love in 9. Jar of flies 10. Parklife A few great albums that didn’t get a mention include - monster - his and hers - troublegum - experimental jet set and trash - starlight diner - bake sale - sleeps with angels

I agree with everything Jason said about The Mavericks. They are country I suppose but they are so very much more.

Best of '94 (alphabetically by artist): Beastie Boys, "Ill Communication" Beck, "Mellow Gold" Frank Black, "Teenager of the Year" Blur, "Park Life" Built To Spill, "There's Nothing Wrong With Love" Cardinal, "Cardinal" Digable Planets, "Blowout Comb" Dinosaur Jr, "Without A Sound" Gang Starr, "Hard to Earn" Guided by Voices, "Bee Thousand" High Llamas, "Gideon Gaye" Lampchop, "I Hope You're Sitting Down" Luna, "Bewitched" Oasis, "Definitely Maybe" Outkast, "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" Palace Brothers, "Days in the Wake" Pavement, "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" Tom Petty, "Wildflowers" Pulp, "His 'n' Hers" Sea and Cake, "Sea and Cake" Sebadoh, "Bakesale" Silver Jews, "Starlight Walker" Sloan, "Twice Removed" Sonic Youth, "Experimental, Jet Set, Trash, and No Star" Stereolab, "Mars Audiac Quintet" Sugar, "File Under Easy Listening" Velvet Crush, "Teenage Symphonies to God" Weezer, "Weezer" The year I graduated from college and one of the best of the decade, musically speaking.

Surprised no ones mentioned these 3, so I will! Beastie Boys - Ill Communication (5) Beck - Mellow Gold (4.5) The Offspring - Smash (4.5)

Pepper and all that shit..no, it’s not. It’s a decent album at best. Another dishonorable mention is that Live Throwing Copper album….I cannot stand Live; for me they’re basically U2 without a distinct guitar sound and R.E.M. without songs. I hate the way that the lead singer swoops and hollers in the vocals, I hate the mushy queasy mystical spiritual hippie lyrics..ergh..yeah. I’m definitely surprised that you guys love it as much as you do, because I do not get it at all, it is 100% not for me 😅

Latin Playboys, one of my favorite albums of the 90s, as well as Dose. And your description of Live reminded me why I never got into them back in the day. It’s been three decades, so I’m willing to give them a try now and see what I think.

good to see The Division Bell! I did not include on my list The Mavericks - What A Crying Shame but I have recently become a fan (my wife has been one for a long time, and Malo's solo stuff..their new album "Moon & Stars" is pretty good btw), and will add it to my list when I go over 1994 in the future. Jeff Buckley and Live Joe had of course..They Might Be Giants of course Matt Mahaffey has played with iirc, but they always have come across as "look at how funny we are" or "look at how weird we are"..and lost my interest. But maybe I need to give them another shot given my love of sElf/matt Mahaffey and Jellyfish. no Marillion, King's X or any of the Prog Metal classics?..not a surprise.

Really enjoyed this list Jason and definitely some new records from 1994 for me to check out. I was sure that "Mighty Joe Moon" by Grant Lee Buffalo was going to come up but no luck...are you a fan?

Jason hit the ball out of the park with his inclusion of Pink Floyd's THE DIVISION BELL. IMO, OBSCURED BY CLOUDS and TDB are the 2 most underrated albums in Pink Floyd's catalogue. I'm usually on board with Joe's picks, but how can 1994's lone successful progressive rock album not be on this list? THE DIVISION BELL sold over 3 million copies in the United States, it sold more worldwide copies than A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON, and it was the 2nd highest grossing tour in 1994-1995. IMO, there is not a bad song on the album and HIGH HOPES is one of the Top 5 songs in Pink Floyd's catalogue. Gilmour was at the peak of his guitar powers and the Gilmour/Wright combo produced melodic soundscapes that most of the 25 artists on Joe's list could only dream about.

Maybe not quite half, but certainly close to half of the tracks are forgettable. "High Hopes" and "Keep Talking" are the two real standouts to me. Those are the two I'd definitely add to a "Best of Floyd" playlist. "High Hopes" is great, but saying it's a top 5 Pink Floyd song is a stretch. Maybe top 25. Still, The Division Bell probably would've made my list if I'd done a top 40. 1994 is such a deep year, top 40 is a good showing for a band that was more than a quarter century old at that point.

Just Built to Spill, Pearl Jam, Pavement, Weezer and Jeff Buckley in common with me. The Frank Black and STP albums narrowly missed out. For me, the best albums from 1994 have always come to mind faster than for any other year of the 90s. I haven't discovered much stuff that's new to me for a while, but these lists and some of the ones in the comments make me think I should take another look. As it is, 17 of my top 25 could have been in my list if I'd made it in 2001.

That Sordid Humor record actually sounds pretty good. I just checked out a few songs. I had never heard of them before. Interesting pick Jason

Big fan of them and of Andy Bell (who later joined a little known band called Oasis) I’ll add to the best songs of ‘94 something from this, let’s go for maybe the brilliant How Does It Feel To Feel (which was a cover) or I Don’t Know Where It Comes From but the one I’d nominate is Birdman. Superb.

John Henry is an underrated album, always liked it!

Yay! Sponge!! They don't get their due is right - chief among my Underrated Bands of the '90s list: Sponge, The Verve Pipe, Fastball... all still truckin', all solid-to-spectacular discographies (I don't think I'd rate any of their records below 3.5 stars... The Verve Pipe even have two great kids' records, with a smorgasbord of sounds that my 2.5 year-old nephew really digs! 🤘👶 :) People don't talk enough about the jangle sound of Sponge - especially on the first 4 records (seems like a Joey Mazzola / Mike Cross [RIP] influence...) As you said, their first 3 records are virtually tied for 1st in my mind, preference changes on mood, etc. (right now I'm feeling Wax Ecstatic -> New Pop Sunday -> Rotting Piñata) - but 2007's Galore Galore is a very, very close 2nd (4th)... Also, Vin seems like a very cool dude from recent interviews - and my god does the man have a million side projects!! Anyway, go Sponge!! ✌

Still haven't dug deeper into the year, but so far my list would be: 15) Ween - Chocolate and Cheese 14) The Mountain Goats - Zopilote Machine 13) Pink Floyd - The Division Bell 12) Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies 11) Hole - Live Through This 10) Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes 9) The Wannadies - Be a Girl 8) Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon 7) Arthur Russell - Another Thought 6) Quaterna Réquiem - Quasímodo 5) Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime 4) Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley 3) Oasis - Definitely Maybe 2) Soundgarden - Superunknown 1) Green Day - Dookie

Welcome to Sky Valley!! Love that album so much

1994 was peak album buying time for me and I’ve only got four of the albums here. It’s as if we live on different planets. Three of the four wouldn’t make my Top 25, but then there’s Grace, the album that answered the question “what happens if you cross Robert Plant with Marvin Gaye. All time Top 20 for me, along with some Trip Hop.

Tom Petty Wildflowers might be my favorite album of all time. So glad to see others nominating it. You guys rock!!

love and agree with opinion on crooked rain, possibly top 5 of the year for me

Good list! While I disagree with you about Pavement drummers (loved Gary Young notwithstanding his lack of technical skill), I agree with you that Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is superior to Slanted and Enchanted -- although both are amazing!

MY TOP 25 STUDIO ALBUMS, 1994: 1. Superunknown -Soundgarden 2. Grace -Jeff Buckley 3. The Blue Album -Weezer 4. Purple -Stone Temple Pilots 5. Live Through This -Hole 6. Wildflowers -Tom Petty 7. Jar of Flies -Alice in Chains 8. Too High to Die -Meat Puppets 9. Dummy -Portishead 10. Parklife -Blur 11. Illmatic -Nas 12. The Downward Spiral -Nine Inch Nails 13.

Setting the Woods on Fire -The Walkabouts 20. Mars Audiac Quintet -Stereolab 21. Let Love In -Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 22. Ill Communication -Beastie Boys 23. Roman Candle -Elliott Smith 24. Vauxhall and I -Morrissey 25. Mighty Joe Moon -Grant Lee Buffalo MY TOP 3 LIVE ALBUMS, 1994: 1. Live at the BBC -The Beatles 2. MTV Unplugged in New York -Nirvana 3. Secret World Live -Peter Gabriel MY BAND OF THE YEAR: Soundgarden MY ARTIST OF THE YEAR: Jeff Buckley Special mention for Jimi Hendrix and his 'Blues' compilation, which has become one of my "go to" Hendrix discs. 1994 is an extremely deep year for 4 star albums (they extend as far as the eye can see) but in terms of 5 star classics, I don't think it's as deep as years in the late-1960s and early-1970s. It's also a strong year for live albums- several were threatening to make my top 3, like Drums & Wireless (XTC), A Night in San Francisco (Van Morrison), Past Archives (Fairport Convention), The Peel Sessions (Thin Lizzy), No Quarter (JimmyPage & Robert Plant), and Hope (Hugh Masakela). Soundgarden is my "Band of the Year" for a relentlessly hooky LP that put an incredible capstone on their career. Normally, I would shy away from giving my "Artist of the Year" award to a rookie, but I make an exception for Jeff Buckley, considering that fate didn't give him a second chance.

I just have listened to the Cranberries album, it is pretty cool. I didn’t expect kind of stripped-down dream pop sound.

Regarding the whole STP backlash, it wasn't really that they sounded like Nirvana or Pear Jam, but from the fact that they were just seen as posers who rode the big initial alt rock wave without putting the time in at dive bars and indie labels, while basically sounding like a more modern Aerosmith or some of the cock rock that alt rock was the antithesis of. It was a little weird hearing The Breeders, then Sonic Youth, and then STP. It wasn't necessarily that their music was bad per se.

@williambartholmey5946

David Spade made a crack on SNL about them being a Pearl Jam knockoff, so that helped it stick. But to be fair, and I like STP more than any grunge band, their first single Plush is the worst single of their career and is the one song that does sound a lot like Pearl Jam.

I obviously preferred Joe’s top 25, but the biggest overall surprise was Born to Quit in 10th place. It’s a good album, but it feels a bit short at just 28 minutes. I think their best record is 1997’s Destination Failure, which clocks in at a robust 48 minutes and contains most of their best songs, like “Before I’m Gone,” “Megan,” “I Know You Love Me,” and a more polished version of “Let’s Hear It for Love” (maybe my favorite SP track overall). In 1998, Josh Catherer became a born-again Christian following drug problems. He eventually formed a (truly underrated) band called Duvall, which released 2 albums on the obscure punk label Asian Man Records. The first album is Volume & Density (2003), a power pop gem that needs to be heard by anyone who likes the Smoking Popes. Even though the Christian subtext is mostly hidden throughout the album, the closer is a ballad called “Jesus Never Leaves Me” which brings his religious viewpoint to the forefront. Duvall’s second record is titled O Holy Night (2004), a Christmas album full of overt religious themes. Their rendition of “Angels We Have Heard on High” is rocking though - basically a power pop Christmas song.

@@TastesLikeMusic His list had Nick Cave, Suede, Blur, and Bad Religion (not a personal favorite, but just the fact that he gave punk some representation). You had TMBG, Pavement, Superchunk, Smoking Popes, and Frank Black. Both of you had Built to Spill, so that’s a draw. Both lists featured several grunge-adjacent bands that I’ve never liked - but Superunknown is my “favorite” mainstream grunge release, so Joe’s list gets a slight advantage there too. I still prefer his list because it highlighted other genres that were happening besides rock/folk. But looking at both more closely, I suppose that “obviously” was too strong of a word. I listed 65 albums under his video, and I’m not sure that we shared more than 6 or 7 picks.

At this point, it seems clear that these guys don’t like lo-fi/shoegaze/noise/any deliberate “imperfect” aesthetic frequently used by indie bands. An album like Do the Collapse or Isolation Drills would have a better shot at making a list, even though I don’t think they are on the same level as Bee Thousand. I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who listed The Tape of Only Linda. I think the biggest highlight is the delicate, mournful “Still Its Own Reward”; it will place in the top 20 when I post my song list in the next video. Sugar’s best overall work is the crushing Beaster EP (my favorite EP of the 90s by far), but FUEL certainly has some alt-rock gems like “Gee Angel,” “Gift,” “Your Favorite Thing” and “Believe What You’re Saying.” A few lesser tracks (2, 6 and 8) hurt the album a little bit.

Special request: please rank Leonard Cohen's albums, even though his vocal range is not great and he wore fedoras. Other than that I want to change my preferred song from Adrian Belew's Here: 'Burned By The Fire We Make' instead of 'May 1, 1990.' I saw Pink Floyd's Division Bell concert. It was average. Overall, indie rock suffers from the problem of what comes across as suburban revolt having no purpose. The music is less urgent than it is an indifferent form of hysteria. Not so much ( acid-laced ) anti-Oedipus as ( end of history ) post-Oedipus. For instance, Pavement's 'Silence Kid' has some nice borrowings from Velvet Underground and The Everly Brothers, but the difference is that the space of subculture is completely different after the preppy and yuppie 80s, with counterculture going in a conservative direction in part because the surrounding society and politics is seemingly locked in. Not to be snooty or anything, but Stephen Malkmus is a prep school graduate whose father was an insurance agent. So the angst, if you can call it that, has a David Foster Wallace quality to it that is not as distressing as say Thomas Pynchon maybe but just as defeatist. 🤕

Smoking Popes is a great pick and I'm just curious about Joe's, "Stephen Malkmus makes me want to puke," comment.

There are some Stephen Malkmus solo tracks that I think Joe would actually like: “No More Shoes”; “Kindling for the Master”; “Hopscotch Willie”; “Gardenia.” These tracks are far more akin to prog rock/psych-pop than the slacker-rock Pavement were playing in the 90s.

If a main character was burning to death in a Fox teen drama, you could bet that Buckley’s cover of Hallelujah would be playing." I really don't know his work well enough to agree with this quote, and I must admit, I listened a third time to Hallelujah and I had some kind of momentary ethereal delight. I mean it was short lived and then it all faded to dust. OK, it's an OK song.
