That album should have done wonders for Rachel Stevens, it was a really solid pop album.

By loads of people into altenative stuff and critics. Look at the internet with the MBV 'comeback'.

Overwhelming evidence right there.

Pitchfork medias - number 1 album of the 90's
Rolling Stone Magazines - Top 500 albums of all time.
Observers 20th place in the 100 greatest British albums ever.
The Irish Times Poll placed number 1 on the greatest Irish album ever.
Numerous alternative bands of the 90's and 00's cite the album as a massive influence.

It was the response you deserved to be honest after saying "who by?" as if it's a little known, obscure album

This World And Body by Marion. Has there ever been any other album where every single track is almost perfect?

Ramones by The Ramones, released 1976 didn't even dent the Billboard Top 100 yet is now seen as a pivotal moment in rock history, having not only kicked off punk rock but influenced the post-punk, heavy metal, thrash metal, alternative, and grunge genres. It is listed at no. 33 in the Rolling Stone Magazine’s top 500 albums of all time.

agreed, great classic album, although as far as thrash influences go, Id like to mention Sabbaths "symptom of the universe"(1975) and Queens "stone cold crazy" in 1974.

Ironically I bought that Ramones album when it came out,(and loved it) because I'd heard a song off it on the radio and it reminded my of Zeppelins "communications Breakdown". lol.

Pity they were crap live.
