To clarify, these are all records that are still favorites- right? Not just records enjoyed at the time
(question to everyone)

tbh, i was probably a little loose with my list, xxxxpost...i just kinda went with "records i like(d) from '95" not so much "still favorites," which would probably knock a half-dozen or so off the list.

Yeah I'm going for more "still favorites". It's interesting to see what stays a favorite after all this time for you OR stays fresh enough to become one later on, even 20 years later.

The long and perhaps self-indulgent list I posted earlier is a combination of true favorites and albums I have at one time or another counted among them. The mid-90s were a furiously active period in the development of garage & noise rock, black & death metal, gangsta rap, indie rock and abstract psychedelia of every sort. Given that creative ferment, it shouldn't come as a surprise that each of those niches might kick up 5-10 amazing albums, most now largely forgotten (and perhaps of little interest outside fan circles). Not to mention mainstream pop, the experimental avant-garde and what we'd be calling "electronica" in a few years, genres with which I'm not as deeply engaged. A more ruthlessly restricted list would be somewhat shorter, but 30-40 would still make the cut. And I'm sure I'm leaving quite a bit out...

looking at people's lists, I realize that 1995 was the year I stopped paying attention to Indie Rock. I don't think I listened to anything but hip hop that year.

Yeah but that's not necessarily the exercise. I was going for: Of your favorite records in general, which ones turn 20 this year?
― Evan, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 14:20 (nine years ago) link
Or I guess you meant it as a side note anyway.

1994 had most of the anniversaries important to me, the following year is a big drop-off. that said -

Lots of good nominations so far, surprised this one has been yet:
Shellac - At Action Park
― Ratt in Mi Kitchen (Neil S), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:34 (nine years ago) link
I can think of a reason why it hasn't been nominated.
I need to find a better use of my time.
