Here's a thread to make you feel old!

What does Rammstein's Herzeleid, Fear Factory's Demanufacture, Marylin Manson's Smells Like Children, Faith No More's King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime, Alice In Chains' self titled and Strapping Young Lad's Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing all have in common?

They turn 20 this year! :eek:

1995 was a hell of a year, that's for sure. What are your favourites from that year?

GLaDOS

Blind Guardian's - Imaginations from the Other Side immediately comes to mind

Dark Tranquility's The Gallery is 20 now too! One of the best metal albums ever recorded tbh

I prefer this list than most of what's listed for 1995

Oral Slang

God, I can't believe some of these albums are 20 years old. I remember King for a Day being released like it was yesterday. Where are the years gone to?

Anyone here at Donnington that year? It was such a great summer.

Tabnabs

Red Hot Chili Peppers - One Hot Minute
Pavement - Wowee Zowee

Two highlights for me.

And they played here on that tour, early 1996 in the SFX. their first Irish gig since that gig in the Top Hat...

Mad_Dave

Foo Fighters - 'Foo Fighters'
Kyuss - '...And the Circus Leaves Town"

both turn 20 this year.

Looking at those albums from 20 years ago to me proves that 1992 was the end of the greatest phase of metal ever. Probably form the early 80's onwards.

Most of what is mentioned is either 1)Not metal or 2)Rubbish.

I feel that metal got more diverse in the past 20 years. Also this thread is not about metal albums.

Yup, rock albums in a forum for rock and metal, imagine that.

Strange that it's 20 years since Kyuss' last album, of all the bands I'd love to see reform.

MetzgerMeister

I was hoping Rammstein would release a 20th Anniversary edition of Herzeleid with remastered tracks and rare stuff, b-sides etc

I think Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation is 20 years old too, possibly 21.

Whilst 1992 was the year that 'grunge' and alternative truly entered the mainstream and pushed metal to the sidelines, there were still some good metal albums released in the mid 90's...

Pantera - Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes
Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
Type O Negative - October Rust
Corrosion Of Conformity - Wiseblood

To name a few

Can't believe I forgot about this one, amazing album.
They're doing a sort of reunion gig tomorrow in Seattle, with Chris Cornell on vocals and Duff McKagan on bass. Hopefully it pops up on youtube, should be pretty cool.

Radiohead's The Bends is another one. My favourite track was the result of a competition to make a song with as many chord changes as possible ...
