[Dr T]

lists seem a ukb favourite and the albums of the decade one got me thininking about the 90's
you'll have to give me a bit of a break as I had all my teenage years in the 90's so....

anyways in no particular order a top 10 albums

Nevermind - Nirvana (actually I prefer the live at Reading 92 album that's just come out - better than the tape I wore out back in the day as it doesn't have Steve Lemacq saying "you're listening to Nirvana, live from Reading, on Radio 1" every 2 songs - the live stuff just had that little bit more energy...)

Angel Dust -Faith No More

Troublegum - Therapy?

Monster - REM

Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins

Second thoughest in the Infants - Underworld

Beautiful Freak - Eels

Copper Blue - Sugar

Grand Prix - Teenage Fanclub

... And out come the Wolves - Rancid

Soul Searching Sun - Life of Agony

Dookie - Green Day

Placebo - Placebo

The Bends - Radiohead

Rage against the Machine - Rage against the Machine

The Black Album - Metallica

Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs - Ministry

Bone Machine - Tom Waits

Where you been - Dinosaur Jr

Under the Western Freeway - Grandaddy

Sorry - was going to be a top 10 but I got carried away, will stop now 

(would have put some Carter USM in but hindsight shows that they were an amazing live/singles band but they never actually produced a great album - same goes for most of the Brit Pop and Madchester stuff...)

ah joe,
that poor idiot did more to help berlusconi come out of a difficult moment, than all of his marketing experts.
media went crazy for him, and he started talking like a martyr. for the first time i was scared to post a comment on facebook, they are tracking everyone who types "berlusconi". it's awful, i feel very uncomfy in italy right now, we are breathing a heavy heavy air.
sorry

Also  sorry
I was actually surprised at how unhappy I was at what happened to Berlusconi. He is beyond this sort of petty stuff. His model of media controling Demagoguery  masqueraiding as democracy might just be Italy's political lagacy to the  politics of the 21st centuary in the way that fascism was its contribution to the 20th.
Buy Rage against the Machine its our only hope.
