Wipers -- Over the Edge. The three-disc box of the first three records would be my vote if allowed.

guess not...


all the earlier Elliott Smith records are aces. Either/Or in particular...

meh, who gives a ratsass

here's another one.

For my money Turbonegro’s Apocalypse Dudes is unquestionably the greatest record of all time. What they did was not original or the least bit ground breaking, but they distilled a lot of great influences into what I consider to be a flawless collection of 13 songs. I think every second of the record is musical perfection and there is nothing that could make it any better. Even the weakest song on it would be a standout on most other records. It is too bad, but inevitable that Turbonegro could not maintain that high standard in the 21st century.

I hate to be "that guy" but...because it rolled up impeccable influences, shook and shattered them, then rearranged them into something that has yet to be topped...the award goes to:



***Not to mention the tremendous wake of good shit that it influenced in the future.

Well, if there was every any doubt that I am in the right place, that pretty much erased it.

Salut, my imaginary friends of the electrical audio forums. We are the twin sons of different mothers, yes.

May I also suggest "A Love Supreme" here?

Descendents - Liveage

It was one of the records I bought on my first trip to a non-chain record store when I was in middle school.

To completely erase any cool points that it might look like I'm trying to cash in here: I had never heard of The Minutemen before reading about them in a magazine called "Alternative Guitar" on the day I bought that record. (I purchased the magazine because it had every 13 year old in the early 90s idol Kurt Cobain on the cover) I thought the record cover looked cool, so I bought it.

14 years later and I still love every song.
