Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1994!

Snivilisation isn't as good as Brown or In Sides, and got a little overpraised in the music press at the time. It's still very good though, obviously.

Voted for Bark Psychosis, just ahead of The Prodigy. 1994 was a strong year.

obscur-ish stuff from this year i like

allan petterson - symphony no. 9 (detusches so berlin/francis)

cheikha rimitti - sidi mansour

woob - 1194

dubovij gaaj - stop the killing dolphins

apparently i just gave up on metal at this point, which i guess makes sense. i'm not super into first wave black metal. that kyuss album is good, i guess. groundwork's "today we will not be invisible nor silent" is pretty good post-rorschach hardcore, though not as good as "protestant".

brainiac - bonsai superstar

really good album

bob hund - bob hund 2
brainiac - bonsai superstar
gorky's zygotic mynci - tatay
man or astroman? - destroy all astromen!
woob - 1194
5uu's - hunger's teeth

<3

with apologies for making a heart sign at all the indiest stuff from your v interesting sounding list (I was originally just going to make it at the Gorky's album but I do <3 the others too); there's a few other things on there I've been meaning to check out like the Kalevi Aho and I should probably extend that courtesy to the others too

there's a lot of stuff I love on the actual poll list too, I think I have to vote Mars Audiac Quintet but there's ~5 other things I feel slightly pained abt not voting for

and that's even with Crooked Rain on the other list! (where I will probably vote for it and feel pained about not voting for Holiday)

organized konfusion - stress: the extinction agenda
prince - come

my man

Snivilization is definitely a listen at home on headphones album. When you see them live you prefer the bangers on the other albums. Which is exactly what you got on the insides tour. think they only played one tracks from Snivilization .

IIRC they just played "Forever", which was great but also upsetting because I REALLY wanted them to do the segue into "I Wish I Had Duck Feet"

At the end of the day I'm just happy I'm in the crowd noise on one of the "Satan (Live)" singles

Voted for the God Machine (again), but the biggest omission for me is Motorpsycho's Timothy's Monster.

not familiar with that album but I am pleased you're joining me in voting for the god machine!

94 was a significant drop from 93

organized konfusion - stress: the extinction agenda

holy crap, this was this year too. gonna just have to accept that these polls are probably gonna exclude 8-10 classic rap albums to year.

gonna just have to accept that these polls are probably gonna exclude 8-10 classic rap albums to year.

I just dont know much about rap, I'm afraid. That is why Mike is choosing half of the albums but he likes a lot of different music too and it is really hard to cut a list down to 25 choices each.

And these are supposed to be personal lists rather than the 'canon' and i've polled the canon many times before.

Its hard to balance so we dont end up with a poll of albums only 10 people have heard of and one that will allow 100+ ilxors to vote without having to only include the 'canon' or biggest selling albums.

But I think almost everyone can find one album to vote for and we only have one vote anyway.

and a reminder that the canon albums for 94 are over here Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1994! Part II : ILM Loves Its Canon!!!

I don't think we will be doing two polls for the rest of the decade though. Which might mean a lot of popular albums will just have to miss out.

Looking through my faves of '95 earlier, I can confirm there will be a lot of rap

xp wasn't really criticizing your choices, but more commenting on the crazy amount of great rap albums that came out each year of the 90s.

yeah I know it wasn't a criticism. Rap is just a big gap in my knowledge

Maybe we should do a rap album listening thread to educate you, ON :D

mike picked plenty

swell's 41 towers millions of miles above all those albums. my other two faves from 1994 portishead's dummy and nirvana's unplugged are missing as well. sorry but i refuse to vote here.

Your other two faves are both on the Pt. 2 poll, FYI

Hm, I guess you're right.

Further is my favorite FSA record, I think it is the one where it all comes together. I got it on LP from back in the 90s and used to love to listen to it wasted before sleep.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Further is most peoples fave I think?

which poll gets the most votes?

voted for outkast to make sure it would get a vote and cause my real favs are in the other poll

tortoise vs the groop

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
