I didn't want to dumb down the end of this thread too much, but, at the same time, I didn't want to start a redundant one either, so here are my six:
New Order – Low Life. Great post-punk electronic music. So many current bands copy their style. Power, Corruption and Lies still holds up today. Saw them live in Berkley.
The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses. Beat-based Oasis, before Oasis.
Public Enemy – ‘Nation of Millions. P.E., along with KRS1/BDP, substance-based rap. Saw them live in Sacto.
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes. They only made one good album, but it was a great one.
The Chameleons, UK – Strange Days. moody, semi-psychedelic, UK-based alt rock.
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking. The best of LA’s post-modern-semi-punk.
