Top 100 Albums - 2012 edition
by Wasinski

"Irk the purists!
Made strictly according to a self-inflected "just one record per band"-rule, which sadly means just one Residents or The Spits record in the chart:)"
Chart and comments originally made in 2011-2012. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now, doh! I wish.

Hello Darkness! Poison Idea is the heaviest and maybe also the best punk-rock band ever. And what an album cover! [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

All Ween records (except the mediocre "La Cucaracha") are fantastic, but I think this one is the greatest (even if "The Pod" and "12 Golden Country Greats" are up there too) [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

Mick Harris & Nic Bullen (both ex-Napalm Death) go dub. Heavy dub. Scorn has released lots of fantastic records, "Collossus" (1993) and "List of takers" (2004) are good examples. [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

Before Nirvana messed things up. Maybe the best live band in the nineties too! [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

Rock and roll in its purest form. Every album with Dead Moon is a killer, but this one has "It's OK" on it. Fred Cole is an American hero. [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

A nineties record that still sounds as good as it did then. But don't call it "math rock". [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]

Voivods so-called "sell-out record" and a controversial choice among their fans. But its great! Pure progressive pop at it's very finest. But that does not mean that "Nothingface" or "Dimension Hatröss" don't deserve a charting too. [First added to this chart: 02/17/2024]
