Jon Gaunt called her "the most dangerous woman in Britain" and she wrote his former employers a letter saying "From a personal point of view as someone who has been on the receiving end of Jon Gaunt's blunt polemic in print and on the radio, I believe that the airwaves of a great democracy would be the poorer for his absence." Go Shami!

Yes, I don't agree with all of the ordering (is The Soft Bulletin really that good?) but then that's true of any list of this type. I think, though, that this is likely to point anyone without an astonishingly anal interest in 90s music towards a few albums they didn't know, and that's always good.

Pod may fall in my top 20 fav records of all time. When Frank Black muscled Kim Deal’s songs off of the Pixies’ albums, this is where they went. Add Steve Albini on production, and you’ve got an underrated, indie rock masterpiece.

That Pitchfork list is fairly comprehensive, if not my ideal order. I was glad to see The Breeders’ Pod and De La Soul’s sophomore effort included. Most 1990’s lists tend to overlook these gems.
