    Wow ... just got double diablo'd. Fuck. Pain.

    Didn't think anyone else would have even thought about The Stone Roses so soon. Been listening to that record a lot in the last year after seeing them live (they were surprisingly brilliant). The whole record is great, but I can listen to the last 4 tracks on repeat for hours on end.

    Great pick

      I own the Stone Roses album but i never really listened to the whole album.. I remember liking it though.

            It was in my "high" tier from the get-go, mainly because you're in the draft.

            Obviously it didn't have the impact in the US that it did in the UK, but amongst a certain subset of US college kids in the early '90s, it was a HUGE deal. It was played at many a party I went to.

              To answer DMT's question: Because Billy Corgan is an assclown.

              Great record, though, was on my list.

                was starting to think Siamese Dream would make it to me...

                  Sure, but if assclownery was a disqualifier, we'd have a much smaller draft pool.
                  If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                    Sorry, had to be strategic with this one.

                      Take In Utero, lose Siamese Dream.

                        He's in his own special category of assclown.

                          I was hoping for Pretty Hate Machine and Siamese Dream as my next two picks

                            Much of the following text is from a Rolling Stone review:
                            Bruce Springsteen described the beginning of "Tiny Town," the opening song on Big Lizard in My Backyard, as the "snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind." Folk singer Phil Ochs was even more rhapsodic about the LP: "It's impossibly good... How can a human mind do this?"
                            Wait a minute, Phil Ochs died in 1976, I don't think he said that.
                            I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
