Mr. Bitter's : Best Albums of all Time

In no particular order and for no particular reason the editorial board of Mr. Bitter, Music Division, presents:

  • You Forgot It In People: Broken Social Scene

- A quintissentially Canadian album not in sound but in spirit. A perfect distillation of all its indi-pop influences. Each influence is wholly honoured while also being wholly original.

  • Loveless: My Bloody Valentine
  • Ocean Rain: Echo and the Bunnymen

  • Endtroducing: DJ Shadow

  • Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures

- Closer gave birth to Goth. Unknown Pleasures gave birth to Interpol.

  • Bizzaro: Wedding Present

What the Smiths might have sounded like had Morrisey not been such a self-absorbed ponce. Angry love songs with sardonic twist.

  • Power, Corruption and Lies: New Order

- The first real New order album. Movement being an excorsism of Iain Curtis' ghost. Everything that makes new order great is respresented on this album.

  • winter hymn, country hymn, secret hymn: Do Make Say Think

- Songs that lure you in then lift you up then strike with such violence it's takes your breath away

  • PsychoCandy: Jesus and Mary Chain

-The first time I every listenned to it i thought my head phones where broken. I had never heard anything like it before. Under the feedback where some of the catchiest pop-hooks you'll hear. Again an album on the edge of beauty and violence.

  • Electropura: Yo La Tengo

  • Mars Audiac Quintet: Stereo Lab
Available at fine record stores everywhere. Remember, I said fine record stores!!! Not the crappy ones.
