    11:51 is "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel. It's was an extremely popular album in the indie scene and with Hipsters in general, it's still a pretty big cult classic. I'd recommend it, legit pretty great album.

    American Idiot came out in 2004, so that one shouldn’t even be on there.
    On a separate note, I’m not sure if it fits on this list, but I think one that should have been on here is Clarity by Jimmy Eat World. Came out in 1999, so it counts as 90s. Didn’t get much recognition when it came out, but is now looked on as a landmark album in the development of the whole Emo thing. Again, not sure if it fits on here, because it wasn’t big at the time, but maybe it does to some people.

    • @DancingwithGhosts
      @DancingwithGhosts  2 роки тому +2

      it's definitely more alternative than Blink 182... especially the album that followed Clarity but ya, it definitely did help kick-start the new wave of emo in the oughts

    I'm very much in agreement with your opinions. Only a few things here and there that I didn't agree with. Nothing too egregious I suppose. I kind of expected to see 311's self-titled, Third Eye Blind's self-titled, and Incubus's Make Yourself albums on this list. Those are some of my all time favorites! But maybe they don't compare in sales. I would have at least thought that Third Eye Blind would have made the cut: I still hear those songs everywhere I go.

In Utero's brashness and almost anti album feel of itself really lends me to love it for that too. But yea like I said just those couple disagreements but overall nice vid.

    I agree with In Utero, Blood sex , Odelay
    I disagree with Pearl Jam and the British part. The Brits/ Irish/ Scots did drop some good records in the 90's by bands like Therapy , Stereophonics, Ash and the debut from Oasis is amazing. Each with their own.
