Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums

Ah, well it seems like I'm getting the jist of it now. I probably wouldn't have initially thought about bands like Janes Addiction, Wilco and Radiohead and Nirvana in the category, all of which I enjoy.

I might add some others, that I may have considered more main stream, to my list and have to juggle to find ten then. Some are echos of what's already been suggested.

Portishead - all releases are great
Tricky - Maxinquaye
Radiohead - The Bends, OK Computer
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (just forgot that initially, but definitely a third vote for that one - Vol. 2 is great as well)

Good thread.

The New Pornographers- "Electric Version"
Nada Surf- "Let Go"
Ryan Adams- "Rock 'N Roll"
Robyn Hitchcock (w/ Gillian Welch & David Rawlings)-"Spooked"
Wilco- "Summerteeth"
Television- "Marquee Moon" (alternative before there was such a thing)
Matthew Sweet- "Girlfriend"
The Jayhawks- "Tomorrow the Green Grass" & "Rainy Day Music"
World Party- "Egyptology"
Lloyd Cole- "Lloyd Cole"

These are in no particular order. I know there are more than ten, but I couldn't resist. I wouldn't really call this my absolute top picks either. These are just some of my favorites that just keep popping into my music rotation with greater frequency.

I could go on and on...

Good call on New Pornographers. The Matador label is pretty deep with good bands. I can't blow sunshine about the recording quality, but they do offer vinyl...and at low prices.

Crystal method, all, but especially Vegas
ALL SUBLIME....none are bad
Old NIN, especially the original 12" version of 'down in it" and 'wish' on downward spiral
Consolidated....the album with 'Dysfunctional relationship'
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult... Knew these guys in the early 90's... wild men to be sure.... A girl doesn't get killed by an imaginary lover, Kooler then Jesus, Confessions of a knife.... some even on Sexplosion were good.
MC 900 Ft Jesus, Radioactive Goldfish just for LSD is the bomb.
Somewhat slower, but always a favorite were Kate Bush, Morphine.
