I don't want to knock your opinion, I'm just curious what your explanation is for including this but not Loveless.
I'd also be interested in hearing how much of this music people here were listening to when it came out and how much is retrospective. I'm almost certain I wasn't listening to any of the stuff I listed in the 90's. Then again I wasn't really into music much back then. I'm especially curious if you listed one of the Weezer albums since they have a bit of a reputation for inducing nostalgia.
Praeserpium Machinarum- Lauryn Hill is such a good call, I'd completely forgot about that album (and there was one I actually remember listening to way back when).

Actually, it was just a single. It's the sound of the Boggle dice-roller being pressed over and over again, set to a house beat. For three minutes, obviously. Very big in the underground "Word Games" party scene that was popular in Guildford in the late-90s.

Dude, Boggle was totally trying to be mainstream. Aggravation was where it was at, it totally had an old school sound.

- Massive Attack: Blue Lines. (I, too, love Maxinquaye, but it falls away in the last few tracks. Blue Lines is solid all the way through.)

Heh, Tricky's Feed Me is one of my favourite album closers ever. :)
I think Blue Lines and Maxinquaye are actually really different albums, even if the former has Tricky on it. 'Blue Lines' is sparse as fuck and really consistent, while the latter is kinda ramshackle and insane with some crap bits but IMO higher peaks.
Strange how sharply the quality of Tricky's solo material fell off. David Toop had it right, he said the key to 'Maxinquaye''s radness is how close it is to being generic - the more Tricky has tried to be difficult the less interesting he has become.

I think I bought 'Loveless' in 92 or 93, but the other 4 albums I listed were bought soon after they were released.
