Milo Goes To College
Possibly the very first pop-punk band, or even album, this is a classic early '80s SST release that mixes an honest hardcore sound with a less aggressive approach. It's an amazingly fun record, and is catchy as hell. Key tracks: "I'm Not a Punk", "Myage", "Suburban Home", "Marriage"

I chose this album over Dookie for a lot of different reasons, mostly for it's harder sound and darker lyrical content. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and a truly under appreciated LP in general. For me, it's Green Day's shining…

I had so much fun doing a top 50 of the 90s I figured I'd just move right on to the good old 80s. Enjoy. Feedback is appreciated!

50. Men at Work-Business As Usual
49. The Feelies-Crazy Rhythms
48. Bob Dylan-Oh, Mercy
47. Leonard Cohen-I'm Your Man
46. U2-War
45. Dinosaur Jr.-You're Living All Over Me
44. Guns N Roses-Appetite For Destruction

42. Cowboy Junkies-The Trinity Session
41. The Replacements-Tim
40. Talking Heads-Speaking in Tongues

It bought the new Thrice album, "Vheissu" quite some time ago, but haven't gotten around to prfoessing my undying love for it until now. thrice has been a favorite band of mine for a while. I've always found their music, especially Dustin Kensrue's lyrics, very intruiging. As far as aggresive, metal, or "hardcore" bands go, I think Thrice is hands down the the best one. "Vheissu" is mind blowing. Some songs sound like Radiohead made a hard rock album. "Red Sky" and "Music Box" are perfect examples: they're just so intricate and creative. I'm not the biggest fan of hardcore…

10) Thrice- The Artist In The Ambulance (showed me the beauty in aggresive music)
D/L: The Abolition of Man

9) Everclear- So Much For The Afterglow (first rock album I ever purchased. 5th grade, bitches!)
D/L: So Much For The Afterglow

8) The Beatles- White Album (pop music pushed to the absoloute limits)
D/L: Blackbird

7) blink-182- Enema Of The State (my favorite band ever. their worst album…but it started it all)
D/L: Dysentary Gary

6) The Who- Tommy (musical story telling at it's finest. some of the most memorable songs ever.)
D/L: Pinball Wizard

5) Rancid- …And Out Come…
