Radiohead - "OK Computer"
Wilco - "Being There"
J. Mascis & the Fog - "More Light"
R.E.M. - "New Adventures in Hi-Fi"
Weezer - "Pinkerton"
Kaiser Chiefs - "Employment"
The White Stripes - "White Blood Cells"
Blink 182 - "Enema of the State"
Green Day - "Nimrod"
Fugazi - "The Argument"
Moby - "Play"
Nine Inch Nails - "The Slip"
Nada Surf - "Let Go"
Grandaddy - "The Sophtware Slump"
Ween - "Quebec"
Tool - "Aenima"
Burning Brides - "The Levity Ball"

i don't give a shit what anyone disagrees with or thinks is garbage...but feel free to list your own, pretentiously obscure or painfully mainstream.

i'll probably list a few more that i forgot about...

Do you mean "Fall of The Plastic Empire"? The Levity Ball is a track on that album. They're an extremely underrated band that should've gotten the chance to make it big. Very good live also.

I love that album...so many good songs...

...I especially love how you transition from something so somber and serious as "Brick" to the upbeat and bitter "Song for the Dumped"

Agreed. Perhaps a resident hipster doofus, but not just a resident hipster.

Learn to count.

However, Smoking Popes - Destination Failure makes the list.

That didn't come out in 96? My bad, I guess it didn't. Destination Failure is good, but I wouldn't put it on my fav list.

I haven't listened/ bought many preceding the last 15 years... I BOLDED the critical part of the statement. As WZ alluded to, it depends upon a wide interpretation of what a "rock" album is..

While that is a fine choice I prefer what I believe are their 2 greatest works. "Not covering but Becoming the Starlight Vocal Band because Afternoon Delight fucking rocks" or "the john popper years"
