This is really an excellent list. I have listened to all of these albums and I would recommend every one – especially the ones by Neutral Milk Hotel, Belle & Sebastian, Minutemen, and Sonic Youth. It’s like you read my mind when you made this list. There are more albums I would add, like Joy Division – Closer, but overall great job.

listing slint diminishes any need to list other albini projects – big black and jesus lizard included. spiderland was the best and STILL the most influential of that particular era coming out of electrical audio.

no joy division? i’d argue that closer was bigger than slint for sure, if not others. i’d also like to say that pornography by the cure counts.

A mighty list. But one thing – Talk Talk’s “Spirit of Eden” was the influence on all post-rock, three years before “Spiderland” came out. This criminally under-rated band have been such an influence on Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Mogwai and so many other great bands of the moment. Give them their respect! Also, I always thought “Crooked Rain Crooked Rain” was Pavement’s best, if only for ‘Silent Kid’.
