Bear with me-- this is a very early draft... notice the time at which it was posted.....
...also notice there are no albums from this 2009 on this list....
...there's sure to be some stuff I left off. Y'know, some real forehead slappers. Mistakes/accidental omissions will be amended as I see fit.
...kinda bummed that The Melvins' The Maggot actually came out in '99... I had it mixed up with The Crybaby (which did come out in '00) because their covers are pretty much identical. Woulda made the top 20 right around 17 or so.
...Guns N' Roses' "Live Era" double disc also just missed being included somewhere in the top 10 because it, too, came out in late '99.
...if you're counting best-ofs on this list, Guided by Voices' Human Amusements at Hourly Rates actually would take the top slot. Hence it being awarded the coveted "#0" slot.
...the Built to Spill live album would have made the list if you could take out the two 19+ minute jams. The rest of the shit be tight.
Naptime.

20- Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists
------
19- Tapes 'N Tapes - The Loon

18- The Darkness - Hmmmm take your pick honestly. It's reasonably pathetic to admit this, but I've actually thought about this for a decent amount of time before getting this list together and I've always thought the two Darkness albums are pretty much equal, which of course goes against the whole "their second album was shit" thing.
