    Please don't keep going past 93. The lists get worse and worse. No wonder rock has been dead.

    We'll see. There were some great albums in 1994. It gets weaker after that.
    There's quality rock up until the early 00's IMO, though the pool certainly gets shallower as you go. After that it's basically just Muse and whatever project Jack White happened to be working on at the time.

    Looking through, at least, 1996 we'll be chock a block full of classic albums. Agree on post 2000. There have been many, many great LPs post 2000 in rock but it starts to get too niche at that point for a college football message bored, sub bored.

    At some point, I envision a best album of all time shit tournament and these are the regular season games to see who is most worthy.

    You all have a chance to right a historic wrong here by giving this masterpiece due credit.

    I took a lot of cyber bullying from @dnc on the Black Crowes getting in the OG yella piss bored tourney, but dang their first couple of albums were great fucking rock and roll. Way more enjoyable to me than most of the music of that era.

    I think rock died earlier than this - that was when popular country music became what once was rock.
    Of course, that screwed up country music

    I used to say rock died in 1985 when Diamond Dave left VH. But that was wronged headed. Plenty of great rock into the mid 90s. 1992 I think is a little weak compared with 1993- 94.

    Looks like Dirt will run away with it an get a good seed in any future best album tournament.
    It’s a perfect record

    I cant listen to Junkhead at all and skip it every time. Agree otherwise. I think its top 5 all time material.

    If I were to skip any I would iron gland because it isn’t really a song but more of an interlude. Junkhead at least tells a story

    I was tempted to write in a vote for Angel Dust (Faith No More), as well as leaning towards Pantera and a couple others listed for a while, but in the end couldn't *not* vote for Dirt.

    Tough choice; good year, good pole.
    Cheers--

    Haha i forgot about it. All of my copies were ripped off of download sites and I never downloaded Iron Gland. I'm not actually sure I've ever heard more than the beginning.

    Was torn between this and Dirt. Figured it wouldn't get any votes and figured why not.
