Default Re: best rock album of the \'90s...?

Sure, hard core techno punk. In 1997 with Radiohead's OK Computer, Fat of the Land hit like a bombshell. The first time you heard Firestarter it is impossible not to have said "WTF is that?". This postrave ultrapunk sound was incredibly original. Smack My Bitch Up - great adrenalizer, Shahin Bada's Indian guest vocalizations are amazing and the best video ever - first to be banned on MTV I think. Women's groups up in arms, and SMBU recently voted the most dangerous song to drive to, lol. With Breathe, Mindfields, and Fuel My Fire, Fat of The Land can actually be seen as a kind of compilation of singles collection to Brits but to North Americans it was an incredibly fresh new package. Firestarter, with its dirty techno sound, alone scared the crap out of UK parents and who the hell when they first saw this guy, below, didn't say, "Holy crap, that guy is [censored]!" Monster album, truly original, extra marks for controversy.




And btw, wut's wrong w/the gmail? Not working for uploads.
