Mostly replying as a personal challenge; I doubt anyone cares about my opinion. I think this is a hard but interesting challenge and I could probably spend a lifetime perfecting it, but this is my unadulterated first pass:

- “Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness” - Smashing Pumpkins
- “Blue Lines” - Massive Attack

- “Blind Melon” - Blind Melon
- “Loaded” - The Velvet Underground
- “At War with the Mystics” - The Flaming Lips
- “Dire Straits” - Dire Straits
- “Pretty Hate Machine” - Nine Inch Nails
Fuck. How do you make a list like this without regretting every decision you made?!

Wow, a fan of the later Rush albums! I also dug those. It’s always felt like unpopular opinion for me to tell anyone, even other Rush fans, “I looove Presto.” (I know that’s not “later” Rush, but still.)
Presto is amazing!!! So much of their 90s-00s discography is so slept on.
Yeah! 😊🤘
