15 years' worth of albums

After reading Mr Disco's post about Q's best albums of the last 15 years - which albums make it into our own list?

Anything released post 86 counts - so for me:

1. Technique 2 The Queen is Dead - Smiths 3 The Stone Roses 4 Get Ready 5 Hour of the Bewilderbeast - Badly Drawn Boy 6 Moon Safari - Air 7 Electronic - Electronic 8 Republic 9 Blue Lines - Massive 10 Pills and Thrills - Mondays

not in order------

Technique - NewOrder Foxbase Alpha - St. Etienne Switched On - Stereolab Dubnobass... - Underworld Stone Roses - Stone Roses ISDN (Full Show) - Future Sound Of London Strangeways - Smiths Smokers Delight - Nightmares on Wax Walking Wounded - EBTG 'Brown album - Orbital

my list is very techno oriented but i suppose the most interesting music in the last decade has been electronic.

A few more

Leftfield; Leftism PSB: Behaviour Prodigy: Jilted Generation FAithless: Reverence/Irreverence De La Soul: 3 Foot High A Tribe Called Quest: Low End Theory Public Enemy: It takes a nation.. Hybrid: Wide Angle

Technique is obviously the best though

In no particular order, there are some ones here that surprise even me...

New Order - Technique Portishead - Dummy Smashing Pumpkins - Siamease Dream Avalanchers - Since I Left You Radiohead - OK Computer Pantera - Cowboys From Hell Sonic Youth - Dirty Prodigy - Experence Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole Nirvana - Nevermind

My choice:

• New Order "Technique"
• Primal Scream "Exterminator"
• Hüsker Dü "The Living End"
• The Cure "Disintegration"
• New Order "Get Ready"
• Therapy? "Semi-Detached"
• China Drum "Self-Made Maniac"
• Adorable "Fake"
• Nirvana "Incesticide"
• Dinosaur Jr. "Where You Been"

ah adorable - previously the biggest selling band on creation!

(in no order whatsoever):

Pulp - Different Class New Order - Low Life Stone Roses - Stone Roses Radiohead - The Bends Happy Mondays - Pills 'n Thrills Pet Shop Boys - Please Nirvana - Nevermind Elbow - Asleep in the Back Turin Brakes - Optimist LP Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewildebeast

It'll probably have changed within 10 minutes, but that's the 10 for now.

Was Soulmining after 1986? Uncertain Smile has to go down as an all time classic.

good point phil. soul mining is from 84. an oversight on my part but still one of the best early electro-acoustic albums. every track is a winner. also, Ultra Vivid Scene Joy 1967-1990 is a great album straight through.

i agree about soul mining - although as a massive the the fan I always would. its odd how matt johnson could never see the point of new order though - still, each to his own.

A couple of late additions:

808 state = ex:el - including Spanish Heart

Talking heads - sand in the vaseline

Damn, I ha d forgot the 808 State one !

Eric B's Dont sweat the technique & Sasha&Digweeds first renaissance mix album both introduced me to new genres of music

in terms of house music - I think you're right Seb - in fact the first two Renaissance albums were genre defining moments - pure pleasure

I remember the first few times I listened to the 1st Renaissance CD, after borrowing off a mate at uni-having only listened in terms of real 'dance music' only to cheesey chart dance and thinking 'What the fucks this...music that was both dancible yet as beautiful and as well formed as any classical'

Completely opened my mind to non-vocal music
