Top 10 Albums Unheard Until the 2000s:
(Some of these, like #'s 1, 5, and 7, I missed by only a year or two. In AFI's case, I was 4 years late with those, but everything else is significantly older.)
01. blink-182 - Enema of the State
(Didn't buy this immediately because I wanted to get Dude Ranch first, which I did in the fall of '99. Didn't get around to buying this album until late spring of '00.)
02. AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset
(I bought The Art of Drowning with Christmas money at the end of '02 and bought this the EP below later in January of '03. Not sure if I'd heard "Girl's Not Grey" yet by that point or not, but '03 was the year of AFI and I bought up their first three albums one at a time at their spring, summer, and fall tours I saw, and the remaining self-titled EP that summer)
03. AFI - All Hallow's EP
(So it's a 4-song EP and not an album. Sue me. How 'bout I add in #11, then?)
04. Patsy Cline - 12 Greatest Hits
(First heard this album in the fall of '01, when dating my girlfriend at the time.)
05. Moby - Play
(My brother got me this for Christmas in 2000. I played the hell out of it the rest of my winter break and the next semester at school.)
06. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
(Another classic I never heard until dating the aforementioned girlfriend in the fall of '01. She later bought me my own copy for Christmas.)
07. Dido - No Angel
(Vaguely remembered "Here with Me" from the summer of '99, kinda remembered its re-release in the summer of 2000, but fell head over heels for it when it appeared on the Totally Hits 3 CD I bought with Christmas money, had heard Eminem's "Stan" and later "Thankyou," and finally bought the album in the summer of '01 after hearing/seeing "Hunter" on VH1.)
08. The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack
(Though I'd always wanted to see the movie (my brother and I chose Addams Family Values, with no regrets, over it when the grandparents took us to the movies over the Thanksgiving weekend of 1993), I just never got around to it until I dated my long-time girlfriend in 2003 and she finally showed it to me. Danny Elfman's score and original songs, especially for a couple of young adults who still love(d) Halloween, were amazing.)
09. Hank Williams - 20 Greatest Hits
(Got myself into him by ordering this in the mail at the end of my first semester in college, after I instantly fell in love with "Move It on Over," which I heard as a sample song during the tour my parents and I took of Memphis' Rock and Soul Museum.)
10. The Beatles - 1962-1966 [The Red Album]
(My dad had this and the Blue Album on vinyl and often played this in the car when I was a boy on a cassette he had taped of it. My first Beatles purchase, when I saw the double CD version used in the fall of '02.)
11. Ween - Chocolate and Cheese
(Yet another album introduced to me by the girlfriend I had in the fall of 2001. I had dismissed Ween 8 years earlier, based on their biggest hit, "Push Th' Little Daisies." I didn't realize that was no indication whatsoever of the rest of their catalog. Then again, nothing is. This extremely eclectic album is just one amazing, often silly, often crass, song after another, from the 7-minute deadpan murder ballad "Buenos Tardes Amigo" to tossed off ditties like "The HIV Song.")
