I love Neutral Milk's Aeroplane. Amazing album.

Other than that I would add as possible candidates.

* Belle & Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister
* Andrew Bird's Noble Beast
* Gogol Bordello's Underdog World Strike (I'm obligated to recommend them;)
* The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs
* The White Stripes' Elephant

Those might be some others.

So many more... Do Faith No More re-releases count? :D
 
Soul Coughing- El Oso
Spiritualized- Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
Morphine- the Night
Silver Jews- American Water
Nas-Illmatic
Lucinda Williams-Live at Fillmore East

This is what I listen to most from post 1995, off the top of my head

And I'm currently trying very hard to get a sold out neutral milk ticket.
 
I counted, there are 7/70+ artists mentioned so far who's name I heard before, of four of them I remember hearing a song. For me, new classic albums after 1995 would be greatest hits compilations from songs that were recorded before 1975. I guess I am old...

Damn, close enough

I knew it was around there. I'll sub Aquemini by Outkast then, pretty sure that is later

Yep, Southernplayalisticadillacmusic is a bazillion times better, but it's 94 as well. The mid to late 90's is when all the good hip hop died.
 
Did you check alla mine too Chris? :D
Naw, Illmatic is a great album-one of my alltime faves.........I just knew it was pre 95. I'll go back and cross check everyone's entries when monkies fly outeth of mine buttox.:knife:
 
I obviously need to get out more because of all listed I only know of Ozzy and The Foo Fighters lol
 
I counted, there are 1 (If its the same Ozzie) artists mentioned so far who's name I heard before, of zippo of them I remember hearing a song. For me, new classic albums after 1995 would be greatest hits compilations from songs that were recorded before 1975. I guess I am old...

Stefan - I always feel old when the kids start talking music. I've turned into my parents...
 
I don't recognize most of these. Guess I'm in the old fart club.

But Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon's "Clone" deserves to be up there.
 
And another classic--Those Darn Accordians "Clownhead". Gotta love "Hippie with a Banjo."
 
1996
Sublime
Tool aenima
2pac all eyes on me
Rage. Evil empire
Sepultura. Roots
Bad brains. Black dots
Butthole surfers. Electriclarryland
The descendents. Everything sucks
Rasputina
Porno for pyros
Bloodhound gang. One fierce beer coaster
Screeching weezil. Bark like a dog
Pogues. Pogue mahone

All the main stream ones for 96. Pogues didn't have the best that year but I got the album from unclaimed baggage so it sticks out to me.
 
I like albums by female vocalists. I imagine you would get laughed at in a pro kitchen if you played them but any album by Patty Griffin or Tift Merritt. Favorite album by PG would be Flaming Red, by TM would be Another Country.
In a totally different vein I am a huge fan of the Velvet Underground and in 2013 they re-issued White Light/White Heat as a 45 anniversary celebration. The second disc has 7 live songs recorded at the Gymnasium in NY 1967. This group is the genesis of grunge so if you like your music heavy and dense this is where it started.
 
The Evens self titled album. Ian MacKaye's (post-Fugazi) duo band. Saw them a while back in DC and I still love that album.

k.
steve albini originally recorded fugazis in on the kill taker album, but the band decided against using the material and just rerecorded the album. but now the old albini recordings are available, i found them on youtube.
 
90s was the best generation for music!

off the top of my head in 95

oasis - what's the story morning glory
smashing pumpkins - mellon collie
hootie & the blowfish - cracked rear view
 
I'll just put this here....
