  REM's Monster was horrible. What's the Frequency Kenneth? Awful. They keep having to lower the price of this at the 2nd hand shop (it's not on my replacement disc list). Soundgarden I dunt get. But otherwise you've listed some good ones. Pavement, of course. Blur. You missed Starlite Walker by Silver Joos. (BTW, I bought American Water and it's not as good. Good, but not as.)
  
  Gotta be either the last twelve months, cos there've been a frightfully ton of great stuff here recently. Or maybe 2001 era when Interpol, BSP, Libs, Strokes, CTC, BRMC were putting out marvelous debuts; plus Dandy's 13 Tales, White Stripes one before Elephant - and so on revitalized the whole alternative scene. Yes, I vote for this period. But the music scene has never been brighter than it is today. I predict people will look back on the first half of this decade in awe of the music coming out now.

      1966
      
      Pet Sounds- Beach Boys
      Revolution- Q65
      Hitch-Hiker- Bobby and Laurie
      Boom -The sonics
      La de Da's- La de Da's
      Rock Sects in- Downliners Sect
      Gene Clark and the Gosdin Brothers- Gene Clark
      Extra Extra-Tages
      Save My Soul- Wimple Winch.....
      
      the list could go on, but basically for me it's the point where pop music got as frantic and exciting as it ever would, just before things went a bit flowery and lame.

        I shouldn't really forget the singles released in '66, too
        
        'she's got eyes that tell lies'- him and the others
        'glendora'-Downliners Sect
        'You're holding me down'- The Buzz
        'my friend jack'- The Smoke
        'I'll keep on holding on'- The Action
        'Promise her anything'- Johnny Thompson Quintet
        'good vibrations'- Beach Boys
        
        shit, my memory always fails when I try to come up with lists like this, but there's a shitload of great stuff from that year, honestly....the year of the pounding drums and the screaming vocalists

        All I know is that 1664 wasn't a good year for music.

        2002/2001 were good.
        
        Strokes
        White Stripes best album
        Vines
        Interpol
        Coldplay
        Libertines
        
        But I also think last year was great for new bands (franz ferdinand, killers, kasabian, razorlight). Not to mention the Libs bril second album.
