Forgot about this, shiver is better than anything else they have ever done.  Pablo Honey has great stuff on

duotone

Placebo- Placebo (Released in 1996).  This past year I have listened to this loads...It was only last year when I found out they weren't from America!

Superb stuff, 'Teenage Angst' & 'Nancy Boy' were the 2 hit singles I believe.  The drumming always impresses me, especially on "Hang on to Your IQ"

Led zep 1
Ratm ratm
Nas illmatic
Reef replenish
Portishead dummy
Raekwon - Cuban links
Band of gypsies

Ooh nearly forgot:

The Slits with Cut. My memory of this from when it was released was that they were seen as a joke band ( that and the bare chests) and I don’t think I actually heard it ,or certainly all of it, for many years. They never significantly did anything else but it still works, blessed by Dennis Bovell’s production. 

I’ll go with this for illustrative purposes as it has moving pictures ( the drummer on the album is Budgie , don’t know if that’s him in this or not):

Yay, someone else who enjoys Matchbox @pmbomb

Couldn’t see it mentioned so I’ll say The Killers - Hot Fuss

funny location based memories of that Matchbox 20 era - I saw them at Glastonbury during a horrendous mudbath year, exhausted from not sitting down and having to walk everywhere on duckboards. then we went snowboarding at Whistler and all the lifties were pumping it out from their little cabins, it took me a while to piece it all together.

I like Rob Thomas' oblique songwriting and lyrical style.

I loved them as a kid. I went to the states when I was about 13 or 14 around 2000 and they were literally everywhere, every shop, every bar, playing Matchbox 20. 

Superb live, too.

Counting Crows - August and Everything After.
