1994

Albums:

What BEA says:

Applerill wrote:

Probably the best guitar album in existence. Period.

HyperBully wrote:

Be warned that the blend of pop and alternative on Weezer's first two albums can be addictive. I can't tell you how many hours I wasted listening to those twenty perfect songs. It's too bad they used all their best material at the beginning of their career, however, because they've sucked ever since.

This is one of those albums that's just as enjoyable now as when I first played it back in the mid 90's.

Debut albums don't get any better than this. The Blue Album is Power Pop at its absolute pinnacle.

Nirvana - Unplugged In New York

What BEA says:

The greatest live album ever.

junodog4 wrote:

Fantastic. Cobain was so vulnerable and yet charming on this record. Meat Puppets added to the flavour, and he does Bowie better than Bowie. So great.

paladisiac wrote:

You can FEEL his barest of feelings clawing out of his gravely voice, each guitar string plucked painstakingly as perfect as the moment deserves. It's like a diary entry in the life of a musical genius.

Probably the only "live" album that I would ever put in my chart.

Lisa Germano - Geek The Girl

Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.

What BEA says:

Elston wrote:

I love this album for being so naked, so introspective, self-critical and confused. We don't even like admitting to each other that we feel this way, so props to Germano for capturing it on record. What more can I say, I absolutely love this album.

hairymarx1 wrote:

Harrowing, allegorical, introspective and self-referential, 'Geek The Girl' is reminiscent of a 'Dante-esque' ending to a thriller. Reviving the lugubrious nightmares of Nico and the sad fables of Leonard Cohen, Germano's world is a deeply unsettling one. The album is steeped in a kind of atmosphere of insecurity and madness which seems to be both heartfelt and personal but is expressed in a way that relates to the stories of women the world over.

Tortoise - Tortoise

What RYM says (since all y'all are too lazy to comment on this absolute work of art):

Redgreenie wrote:

It's always mystified me that this album is overlooked in favour of 'Standards' or 'Millions Now Living...'. This is a fantastic album.

sagevaporGUT wrote:

If you need to own just one Tortoise album make it this one.

Johnisaacson wrote:

Unbelievable trancey, meditative, spooky first Tortoise album.

TheJoeyTaylor wrote:

Sadly, people tend to avoid this record for their later records, which is a shame. But whatever dude, you're the ones missing out on Night Air, Tin Cans and Twine, Ry Cooder and Cornpone Brunch. Losers!

Singles (I'm just going to leave these here for you to bask in their awesomeness):

Warren G & Nate Dogg - Regulate

Link

Seal - Kiss From A Rose

Vote '94.

just listened to Days of Future Passed and Geek the Girl, both so so albums but at least Days of Future Passed has The Night.
1967 for me.

Geek The Girl is the best album off the 94 team IMO, so I would check that out if you haven't.

This is a good match lethal 😄 Great team. I decided to take VU&N out for this...hope it pulls off.

67 has The Velvet Underground.
94 has more things I like.
94 also has the one album I hate between these two team(Nirvana unplugged in New York).

Well, this is one of the toughest choices I had in this tourney, but I think I am going with 67.

94: Two greats (Weezer+Unplugged)+1 good (Geek the Girl)
67: A masterpiece (Leonard Cohen)+ 1 good (Goodbye and Hello)
94 I guess. But Songs of Leonard Cohen blows everything out of the water.

Oh, how I miss Byrne pencilling the X-Men... Such a class spell.

If you've never heard Geek The Girl before then you're in for a treat. One of the best things I've ever discovered through BEA.

Love the Banana Album but that is about all for me from the 67 team

94 has Nirvana Unplugged (one of my favourite Nirvana albums) and the beautiful 'Geek The Girl'

Enough to beat the banana album.... Yeah I think so!

94 for me!

'94 by a long shot... literally the only non-perfect thing about that team is that David Pajo hadn't joined Tortoise yet. There's even yacht rock in it... god I'm wet
