Having a kick back to my college days.

Beck - Mellow Gold/Odelay
Madonna - Ray Of Light
Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill
Alisha's Attic
Garbage - Version 2.0
etc

Anything quirky/could-be-interpreted-as-shit pop & rock but essential nevertheless

Bleach is 89. Still counts.


Personal opinion, standard...one man's dinner is another man's vomit of course. Particularly if you're living rough. Share and be shared. Albums are a lost factor of today. Cherry pick the tunes, why bother putting a skit or comedy track if it's not going to sell on iTunes?

Define essential
...
what is art?

William Orbit on the buttons, don't hate. Frozen is a beast tune IMO...captures the spirit and memories of the time for me.

so much predictability.

Can't have all grown up listening to the same. Or maybe we all did? Would explain our current juncture...and indeed, junta.
