This list could go on and on, but assuming you mean ‘great’ by kick-ass (and I’m going with stands the test of time here), then:
Swirlies - They Spent Their Youthful Days In The Glittering World Of The Salons
New Kingdom - Paradise Don’t Come Cheap
Swervedriver - Mezcal Head
The God Machine - Scenes From The Second Storey
The Flaming Lips - Transmissions From The Satellite Heart / Clouds Taste Metallic (their best)
Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On (their best)
Yo La Tengo - Electr-O-Pura / I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Gastr Del Sol - Camoufleur
Sugar - Beaster / Copper Blue
Third Eye Foundation - Semtex
Shudder To Think - Pony Express Record
Royal Trux - Cats and Dogs / Thank You
Bowery Electric - Beat
Biosphere - Patashnik
Failure - Magnified
Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker / Red Medicine
The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
American Music Club - Mercury / Everclear
Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Throwing Muses - The Real Ramona
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (good place to stop)
You’re trolling right? The list could go on and on…
just to clarify - these albums must rate at 8.5 or higher
Dammit - a few of those might be just on the cusp…
see below
or above
Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come (98)
Belly - Both King and Star
Galaxie 500 - This Is Our Music
Madder Rose - Panic On
Lush - Split
Good call on Everclear. Could have sworn that came out in about 89, but you’re right it was 91
