List some of your favorite records that turn 20 this year

yeah, i hadn't heard it in forever. listening now. flat duo jets had a great album that year, too.

wow, Space Needle is the 3rd album listed in this thread. did not expect that at all.

Elastica self-titled
Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut
Self - Subliminal Plastic Motives

Fudge Tunnel - Hate Songs in E Minor

Great album but it came out in 1991.

Supergrass - Supergrass

Didn't really like this much but it came out in 1999 anyway. Did you mean I Should Coco?

Sorry I have nothing to add but pedantry this morning.

the dead c - the whitehouse

Great album but it came out in 1991.

lol, never trust a id3

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?

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 -

mobb deep - the infamous
gza- liquid swords
raekwon - only built 4 cuban linx
ODB - return to the 36 chambers
emmylou harris - wrecking ball

Lots of good nominations so far, surprised this one has been yet:

Shellac - At Action Park

I can think of a reason why it hasn't been nominated.

I need to find a better use of my time.

My favourite 1995 albums:

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Merriweather Post Pavilion
Hit Me Baby One More Time
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Swirlies being the semi-exception!

This thread is making me feel all sorts of old and uncool

I get the old part, but why uncool?

same diff?

All this music is "cool" again

I know the aforementioned Tindersticks, Luna, Oval, Slowdive, Pulp and Wu-Tang releases sound pretty good these days (because I have actually heard them recently) but I'm realising there are huge number of other things I've been resisting revisiting at all, fairly or not! (Despite them sitting on a shelf, just metres away, in many instances.)

Top 5:

Sing to God
Second Toughest in the Infants
Factory Showroom
Richard D James Album
Irresistible Bliss

Jack Frost - Snow Job
Martin Newell - The Off White Album
Sleeper - The It Girl
Animals That Swim - I Was The King...
Whipping Boy - Heartburn
Able Tasmans - Store In A Cool Place
A House - No More Apologies
Strangelove - Love & Other Demons
Superette - Tiger
Puressence - Puressence
Gene - To See The Lights

Of these, I haven't listened to Whipping Boy, Puressence, Gene, Sleeper and Superette in over a decade but I'd still enjoy those albums.

UGK - Ridin' Dirty

Such a huuuuge year for me. Lots of the stuff already mentioned (Polvo, Mazzy Star, DJ Shadow, Tortoise, Cocteau Twins, Orbital, Tori Amos, Olivia Tremor Control, Future Sound Of London, Aphex Twin, Underworld, Wu Tang Clan), plus:
