Also, Pablo Honey obviously.

1st Suede album

Also New Order - Republic, though it's hardly my favorite album by them. Neither is SOFAD for that matter, but a lot of DM fans seem to like it.

Slowdive - Souvlaki
Orbital - Brown Album
Cypress Hill - Balck Sunday
Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish

(>>> Rid Of Me)

Black Dog - Bytes
Autechre - Incunabula
Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves
Seefeel - Quique
U Ziq - Tango N Vectif

^ has anything on this level happened since?

classic album by an amazing band

4-track Demos 'Yuri-G': boring

Rid of Me 'Yuri-G': best thing she's ever recorded

Now I feel old.

the soundtrack to my A'Levels.

should've done it for Pod too though. Pod is definitely the best

Frosting on the beater – doubt they will do much to celebrate it!

except the leading compilation. So, also the following:
Speedy J - Ginger
B12 - Electro-Soma
F.U.S.E. - Dimension Intrusion

Deserves a DiS article of its own.

Superchunk - On the Mouth
Sugar - Beaster
Catherine Wheel - Chrome
Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity
De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate
Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Teenage Fanclub - Thirteen
Swervedriver - Mezcal Head

Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish
The Auteurs - New Wave

I wonder if people back then were thinking the same thing about records released in 1973? Probably. Weird that.

are really really good albums, Thirteen is a great bridge between Bandwagonesque and grand Prix, good fun pop, i think people thought it was just ok at the time...but ive always loved it, and i really dont remember how well recieved Buhloone Mindstate was at the time, but i still play it a lot now, its solid from start to finish, Patti Dooke is ace, and i am i be, but its best track is Ego Trippin'...funking awesome stuff

pretty arbitrary, isn't it? And isn't 25 years a more celebrated landmark than 20 anyway, seeing as it's a quarter of a century?

UK death/doom masterpieces:
Icon - PARADISE LOST
Turn Loose The Swans - MY DYING BRIDE
Serenades - ANATHEMA
The Ethereal Mirror - CATHEDRAL

Other great stuff:
Dance of December Souls - KATATONIA
Wolverine Blues - Entombed
With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness - AT THE GATES
Under A Funeral Moon - DARKTHRONE

Monster Magnet - Superjudge
Curve - Cuckoo
Tool - Undertow

Slowdive - Souvlaki
Danny Elfman - Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Morphine - Cure for Pain

Nothing much has changed or progressed in the last 20 years. It's all been fiddling around the edges.

is punk

Will we feel as nostalgic about 2012 in 2032? Hmmmm...

to add to the list:
Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements
Red House Painters - s/t
Belly - Star

...I need to confess that while I overdosed on Pablo Honey and Modern Life Is Rubbish, I also spent a fair amount of that time listening to the Cranberries' 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?'

I've still got the 12 inch (something to do with Dolores before she went mad as a bag of snakes with zombie)

but both are very important yes

but yeah, Dolores seemed to be such a sweet country Irish lass on the first album but turned out to be a peroxide-blonde maniacal harpy after that - which was a shame - although I confess I did listen to their follow-up album far too many times...

my shiny metal arse

whether they like it or not

The Sabres Of Paradise - Sabresonic
Pet Shop Boys - Very

I do find it disconcerting that these albums are as old now as Dark Side Of The Moon was when I listened to it back then.

Was a revelation at the time, still sounds amazing today

New Kingdom - Heavy Load
Orbital - Brown Album
De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate
Sugar - Beaster
Senseless Things - Eppire of the Senseless/Postcard CV (dbl reissue)

post rock was also beginning...

don caballero - for respect
gastr del sol - serpentine similar.
labradford - prazision

with bonus shizzle
