Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums


Based not only on musical tastes but in the quality they were recorded in. I listen to some jazz and blues, and alot of classic rock but I feel this genre of music, both Alternative and Electronic music is often overlooked.

It's awesome to see so many people with tastes similar to mine here. I'll second most of these recommendations. Crystal Method - Vegas is still a favorite after all these years. I saw them live on that tour, and that show still stands out in my mind. The way the lights and the music went together hasn't been matched by anything else I've seen. Hypnotic is an understatement. Massive Attack - Mezzanine is great too. The song "Teardrop" will always be a favorite. Air - 10,000hz Legend has been in heavy rotation too.

I haven't noticed Thievery Corporation mentioned yet. Very cool, exotic sound. Kinda jazzy electronic world music type of thing. Another one I like is Telepopmusik - Genetic World. Some of the songs on it are great, some are just ok, but the worst of them have grown on me over the years, and I enjoy the album as a complete work now. For some heavier electronic stuff, don't forget The Prodigy. Fat of the Land is probably their most popular, but I think I prefer Music for a Jilted Generation, especially the songs Break and Enter, and Voodoo People. Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust is fun too. For a good sample of late 90s electronic music, see if you can find MTV Amp Volume 1. Yeah, I know, even typing the letters MTV made me feel like I dropped a couple IQ points, but whoever threw that compilation together had it figured out at the time.
