Agreed!

It is profoundly disappointing that Electrelane is nowhere to be found on this list, they are the best rock band of all time, and they'd beat out The Breeders any day,

i have almost no problem saying that this is among the most wrong things i've ever read on this board.

Well, nobody appreciates Steve Albini in the fashion I do, apparently, which is to listen to "Axes" and "Times Of Grace" on repeat

Always thought it interesting that the guy known for getting these awesome room drum sounds started out using a drum machine for his first project. (Ed. note - There are a couple Big Black tracks that were cut with a live drummer.)

Pretty much anything before '97 was recorded in Steve Albini's basement or an external studio. After that I would figure the lions share is all recorded at Electrical Audio. Albini really likes Abbey Road and has done a couple projects there.

xpost to flamboyant goon tie, i mean...i like Electrelane all right, haven't listened to them in maybe 15 years tho. whereas Pod is one of the only rock records i have on tape, LP, CD, and digital, and i also have the demos.

I prefer Last Splash! idk, I think Albini's soundworld works incredibly well for certain artists and others? not-so-much, but I clearly have somewhat of an outlying idea about What's Good, I mean, "Kidnapped By Neptune" would also make my top 5 Albini records but I know everybody here hates that stuff. Flip-side of the coin, I don't care for what Steve Albini does for Nina Nastasia, really

ten months pass...

'Tis time for me to catch up with the Albini'ed LPs so many of you have graciously singled out as highlights, and that I haven't heard yet. Cheer-Accident and Tad and others, here I come.

Been on a kick listening to a couple of Tar Cds (Jackson & Toast) in the car the past couple of weeks. Still don't know what the heck most of their lyrics are about, but they got cool drums and feedback.

Impossible, but would vote for Firewater because more people need Silkworm in their lives
