Information on StAtiC...
-------------------

Static is a very-rural based band from the northeast part of Michigan.
(Also
known as the place of little hope) Intertwining different aspects of
different genres, Static creates a new an unique sound which must be
heard.

It easier to say what Static is not than what it is. One thing Static is
NOT
is a Seattle band. Static despises all bands which are obviously trying to
cash in on the Seattle movement. The mere thought is angering me at this
very
moment (Matthius). I will not name any bands, for I'm sure you have an
imagination strong enough to figure out who I'm talking about.

What Static IS is what the listener decides. Everyone has their own
interpretation of what other bands Static resembles, which song is best,
etc.
Static is music for the individual. Meaningful, original, unique "rock
music." An alternative to the alternative label so many undeserving bands
have been pasted with. Bands that "break the mold" are still thrown under
the
same circus tent as the ones that are continuing the "grunge" tradition.

-------------------
What People Say about StAtiC

I myself think this list is Ok but I don't think that Welcome... is the
classic INXS album and definitely not one of the top 5. Sorry. I am a U2
fan and Inxs fan and feelt that Inxs best album was X.

Um, those are not from the '90's.
I think these are:

(In no particular order)

Toward the Within - Dead Can Dance
Gordon - Bare Naked Ladies
Pretty Hate Machine - Nine Inch Nails
Check Your Head - Beastie Boys
I, Jonathan - Jonathan Richmond

This is off the top of my head, without looking at my cd's. It's
definitely not the top five of the 90's, but all of them are damn good
albums which I always enjoy listening to.

...and *Chronicles* is a compilation. If a *Greatest Hits* is not good,
it doesn't say much for the band. Aerosmith's *Greatest Hits*? Great

Me: Mariah Carey? Even worse - Vanilla Ice?? You consider this crap to
be the best stuff of the 90s??

And Alanis Morissette is nothing but mainstream trash. Borrowing a
quote from another person, Alanis would wear diapers and such to get
people to buy her stuff.

Uh, "Bona Drag" does not count because it's a compilation of singles
from the 80s, b-sides, and other previously unreleased material. In
fact, a lot of the songs on "Bona Drag" are from the 80s.
And besides, in my *humble* opinion, Bona Drag is a lot better than
"Vauxhall & I". How about "Your Arsenal?"

1. achtung baby - U2

their best album ever. one of the three best albums of all time.

2. mellon collie and the infinite sadness - the smashing pumpkins

the only complaint i have is that 'ugly' isn't a part of it. but talk
about vfm... '1979' was the best song in 95, 'zero' will win in 96.

3. automatic for the people - REM

their best album ever. monster was the right way to follow up automatic...
no way they could have produced another traditional rock album that great.

4. the downward spiral - nin

trent's best album to date. to me it sounds a lot like industrial hardcore
alternative rock or something like that...

5. in utero - nirvana

most people seem to forget this album which indeed doesn't stand out as
much as nevermind at first. still, the best songs are on this one. like
'heart-shaped box', 'rape me', 'dumb' etc etc etc.

cheers,

thomas

The title of the thread is best albums of all time - this includes
time before the 90's - if I read your message correctly. Also, I
think you meant to say sense - not since.
I have my own best - but it seems you get flamed for mentioning
anything not in the 70's - 90's.
Guess I'll pass on this one.

1) Achtung Baby - it was one of the few passionate records of the 90s,
that stressed humanity over rage. U2's finest moment. combines
disparate forms of rock and created a lovely thing.

2) In Utero - Nevermind was the most copied album of the 90s. In
Utero left every other hard rock band of the 90s behind, in terms of
emotional immediacy (which is the pt. of grunge and punk) and poetic
detail. this album has been succesfully imitated, because the music
is more complex than it leads on. like John Lennon's Plastic Ono
Band, this one trascended labels and mere angst. it became simply
brilliant rock and roll.

3) Automatic for the People - like Achtung, there's grace and dignity
on this album. however, the lyrics are very dark, meditating on magic
and loss with such poetic honesty, that few mainstream albums have.
music dense stuff, best string work by a rock band this decade. REM's
finest moment.

4) Downward Spiral - NIN. industrial has been established too long
for this album to be considered groundbreaking. but, it is very much
so in how it plugged the underground electronic medium into the heart
of an angry man. it is a bit like how Floyd's Wall did in the 70s,
probing the hell of one for the name of all. like the others, it
trascends labels of techno, ambient, trance, hardcore, even industrial
and can simply be called NIN music.

5) Vitalogy - Pearl Jam. all my picks were a bit mainstream, but i
sincerely believe in this one too. the difficulty i have with
Smashing Pumpkins is that though their instrumentation consistently
fascinates, the overall effect is a bit hollow. their best work is
ahead of them. Courtney Love, to me, is really a folk artist with
amped guitars. Live Through This centers entirely on her and her
brlliant vocal style. but, IMO, Vitalogy balances these 2 elements.
though Vitalogy is flawed, the album fogs one's soul. the confusion
and violent urges are blended into the groove. Vedder becomes sort of
a exorcising shaman. like the other albums above, it trascends it's
genre and time period.

Here's mah 5:

Note: I'm an industrialist really, so I'll choose 5 that aren't
Industrial, cos they'd have to be really good.

Other Note: I deleted some newsgroups, and added some others (notably
rec.music.rem). I know you REMer's hate this, but come on, I mentioned
your band ;)

1) REM: Automatic for the People - A classic. I know everybody has
this in their list, but maybe that just proves something.

Monster was a bit cack, though.

2) Garbage : A nice change for alternative rock to go a bit weird. I
suspect their next effort could be even better....

3) Rage Against the Machine : Rage Against the Machine. I saw these
guys the other night, and it surprises how much anger and hatred Zack
can put into his songs and *mean* it.

The new album is also a contender, but it's just more of the same.

4) Pearl Jam : Ten. The first and, IMO, best. I still listen to this
more than is good for me. I never really liked Nirvana, and for me PJ
were (are?) *the* grunge band.

5) Nine Inch Nails - Fixed. The most "Industrial" NIN has ever
released, and it's not really by NIN. Coil's remix of "Gave Up" is
truelly superb.

If it hadn't been for NIN I'd never have got into Industrial; at least
I've got something to thank trent for.

I like the U2, Nirvana, R.E.M. and Pearl Jam albums you mention and your
argumentation is interesting. Nevertheless, I have other favorites of the last
three bands:

* NEVERMIND/NIRVANA ] However both megasellers, they are still very
* TEN/PEARL JAM ] personal and original. 2 real BREAKTHROUGH-albums!

* OUT OF TIME/REM ] More intimate that AUTOMATIC, and more unique!

I gotta tell you that every artist on the list are just fine except Vanilla
Ice. I think he is the biggest Tosser around. He had to steal his best song's
lyrics from the great, Queen.

U2 still rules.

What are you basing "The Best" on. It certainly isn't quality and artistic
merit. All these albums are commercialised and repetitive. I will give
Prince some credit as a talented musician, but he has lost a lot of it since
he got up himself and thought he was so big that he changed his name to
something that can't even be pronounced.

OK, I'll give in. My five favorite albums of the 90's:
1. Pearl Jam-Ten
That's why this post is in ALT.MUSIC.PEARL-JAM. Besides, I maintain a
PJ Home Page at http://tower-hill.pvt.k12.de.us/~dlipman/pj.html. From
the opening notes of Once to the closing notes of Master/Slave, which
sound mysteriously similar for some reason, this album is a work of art.
Evenflow, Alive, and Black have become cult classics already, and anyone
who doesn't like this album has not listened to side B.

2. Metallica-Metallica (The Black Album)
Some of the best work from one of the best bands. The only people I
know who don't like Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven are
front-runners who say the songs are overplayed. I can see why some
people might not like some of the harder songs on this album, but I
simply disagree.

3. Soundgarden-Superuknown
OK, I admit it. Black Hole Sun is one of my favorite songs of all
time. It was the kind of song you knew would be REALLY popular the first
time you heard it. I bought the album having never heard of Soundgarden
just because of the one song. Now they're one of my favorite groups, and
songs like 4th of July, My Wave, Limo Wreck, and Fell On Black Days are a
big reason for that.

4. Singles-Soundtrack
OK this is a cult classic movie, at least the soundtrack. 2nd class
songs from 1st class bands. I don't particularly care for the
Lovemongers trashing a non-classic Zeppelin song, but every other song is
solid. Highlights include State of Love and Trust, one of Pearl Jam's
best, as well as Would, among the best of Alice in Chains. A veritable
who's who of grunge music.

5. (tie) Nirvana-Nevermind and Live-Throwing Copper
Two albums from very different groups. Neither has the every-song-
is-amazing crown, but both have more than a few of those amazing songs.
Something In The Way, Lithium, In Bloom and other make Nirvana's mark,
and I Alone, Lightning Crashes, and Shit Towne do is for York's finest.

Other:
Nirvana-Unplugged In New York
Stone Temple Pilots-Core
Stone Temple Pilots-Purple
Aerosmith-Big Ones
Temple of the Dog-Temple of the Dog
Guns 'n' Roses-Use Your Illusion I
Guns 'n' Roses-Use Your Illusion II
Eric Clapton-24 Nights
Candlebox-Candlebox
Soul Asylum-Let Your Dim Light Shine
Mad Season-Above
Smashing Pumpkins-Siamese Dream

NOPE

Are there any albums that are worth of this list?

The La's - The La's
Elvis Costello - Brutal Youth

are there any more?

The Clash - London Calling
The Clash - Sandinista!

These are the best albums of the 70's and 80's without any doubt. (cue
flames from lots of halfwit Americans)

Actually, here is my take.

1)Cranberries 'No Need To Argue'
2)James '7'
3)Dave Matthews Band 'Under the Table and Dreaming'
4)Cranberries 'To All The Faithful Departed'
5)Big Country 'The Buffalo Skinners'
6)Midnight Oil "Earth and Sun and Moon"

Oops! I guess it's more than six for me. Sorry about that.
