1. Converge - Axe To Fall

2. Third Eye Blind - S/T

3. Converge - All We Love...

4. Everclear - Sparkle And Fade

5. Botch - We Are The Romans

6. Third Eye Blind - Blue

7. Norma Jean - Redeemer

8. Counting Crows - August and Everything After

9. Norma Jean - O' God The Aftermath

10. Baroness - Yellow & Green

 

Was just searching through the forum to see if I could find anyone talking about Everclear.  Awesome that it made your top 10 list.  What needs to happen is an Everclear catalog reissue.  At the very least, World of Noise, Sparkle and Fade and So Much For the Afterglow.  World of Noise and Sparkle and Fade are definitely their best 2 albums.  World of Noise originals can be had for under $100 but I can't hardly find any Sparkle and Fade.  The point is, my collection NEEDS Everclear in it.

This was really tough:

 

01. The Gaslight Anthem - Sink Or Swim

02. Modern Life Is War - Witness

03. The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About

04. American Nightmare - Background Music

05. Strike Anywhere - Change Is A Sound

06. Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

07. Converge - You Fail Me

08. Sinking Ships - Disconnecting

09. Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory?

10. The National - Sad Songs For Dirty Lover

 

In my humble opinion 'Don't Look Back In Anger' from Oasis is one of the best songs ever written.

I ran across a few Everclear jukebox singles last weekend at my local record store.

I came at this from the perspective of the most-played records in my collection. So it's basically stuff I owned when I was younger and before the period where I didn't really listen to vinyl much because I didn't have my own working turntable so it would just be when I was at my friends' or whatever.

 

Hum, Downward is Heavenward

Shellac, Terraform

Superchunk, Here's Where the Strings Come In

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Orange

Neutral Milk Hotel, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Fugazi, Red Medicine

Chilmark, "Mosiac" / "The King" / "Shadow"

Foo Fighters, The Colour and the Shape

Jimmy Eat World, Futures

Sunny Day Real Estate, S/T

 

perhaps not super-accurate but I basically just kind of thought of the first 12-15 records that I knew I had played the heck out of at some point, and then cut off the ones I probably hadn't played as much as these ones.

If I'm picking a list made up of stuff I've been listening to in the last 2-3 years since I got a working setup again, it'd probably be something like:

 

Prawn, Ships

R.E.M., Lifes Rich Pageant

Wye Oak, Shriek

Tim Hecker, Ravedeath, 1972

Kimbra, Vows

Sharon Van Etten, Tramp

Paramore, Brand New Eyes

Tears for Fears, Songs From the Big Chair

Thrice, Beggars

Underworld, Beaucoup Fish
