Troutman’s Six Best Songs thread reminded me of a game we used to play on another board. You start by picking the six best albums of the year in the previous post, then you choose your own year to do another six.
I’ll start with 2000.
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Neko Case - Furnace Room Lullaby
Sleater-Kinney - All Hands on the Bad One
Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues
The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving

yeah, I've been listening to Bandwagonesque quite a bit again lately- great record
some great records there- I pretty much remember where i was the first time I heard all of them
then you've got Loveless, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Temple of the Dog, (parts of) the GNR bloat that was Use your Illusion...and I love REM more than anything and while Out of Time isn't my favourite there's that too...91 was a nice pivot year for music (getting reasonable airplay)
