Here's my answer to my own question (in no particular order):

Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica (best album of 2000, & possibly the most perfect album ever!!!) Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I (best album of 1999) King Crimson - Red Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Fugazi - End Hits Knapsack - This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Radiohead - The Bends 311 - Transistor Velvet Underground - White Light, White Heat Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction Neil Young - Live Rust Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited Lou Reed - New York Soul Coughing - Irresistable Bliss

Whew, that was tough resisting the urge to add a few REM discs somewhere in there... but I scraped through :) looking forward to seeing everyone else's responses.

Dire straits-brothers in arms David gray-white ladder House martins- now thats what I call quite good Bare naked ladies-stunt Aerosmith- nine lives fatboy slim-you've came a long way baby UB40-the best of

Arter that I'm pretty lost I once attempted to take a liking to the doors and the velvet underground but it never rubbed off on me so now I've taken to collecting magazines with REM in them and really old interviews

Yes, Ms. Stipe, there IS a reason I've remained enigmatic for so long........... I'm in jail!!

No, just kidding :)

The truth is, nobody ever asked before (sob, sob heheh). I am from Long Island, but right now I'm going to college in upstate New York. How about you? Out of curiosity, where is everybody from? It seems to me like there's a lot of people from the UK here, I could be wrong though... Anyway, later. :0

Mon dieu c'est dur de seulement choisir quinze, mais on y va:

Liz Phair (whitechocolatespaceegg, Exile in Guyville, Whip Smart, Juvenalia); Superfriendz (Mock Up, Scale Down); Nirvana (Nevermind); Beatles (Rubber Soul); The Fugees (The Score); Hole (Celebrity Skin); The Tragically Hip (Phantom Power); Hayden (Everything I long for); The Cure (Greatest Hits); Marcy Playground (Shapeshifter); Jewel (Pieces of You); Sloan (Smeared).

Eclectic, perhaps, but, without the varied scope of REM, got to be done...
