Today we at Columbus Alive unveiled our list of the top 100 local albums of the past three decades. Discuss here, but also send me responses at cdeville@columbusalive.com; we want to publish letters about all our glaring omissions.
List begins here.
Aaaaand... go!

Looks like a great list to me - definitely a little bit of something for everyone there. Must have been a lot of hard work to put together and I appreciate it! A lot of stuff I want to go try and find now, plus stuff I haven't listened to in a long time...
It seems a little heavy on the 2000s - most best-of lists skew towards the recent history because that's what's fresher in people's minds. This particular subject is even more prone to that because an older local album had to be a REAL standout or it will have vanished away without much of a trace...
Only thing I was looking for that I missed was a Saddleback Shark album (probably Machinegun Raindance). They were one of the kings of the early 90s metal scene here... and it's such a great album.

Big glaring omission : The Azoic. Divine Suffering.
Serious industrial goth electronica. Probably has more props elsewhere and in Europe. Kristy, one of the founders, also founded her own record label ( Nilaihah ) which is based here as well.
Was good to see Ronald Koal on there. I think we all have Ronald Koal stories.

Cookie wrote No Zachery Allan Starkey? He's not going to take this well.
But by self-proclamation, he is no longer part of Columbus anymore.
QED.

interesting list...being 40ish the 80's and 90's were the halycon days of columbus music for me....I really appreciated the mention of the Poets of Heresy and Pica Huss...there were some omissions that were a bit painful.
no Honk Wail and Moan, Paul Brown, The Squids, Wolfgang Parker, Drums and Wires and no ekoostik Hookah, Arnett Howard or Donna Mogeravo, strange.
Memory is a tricky thing, the further away we are the more or less significant events seem, :)
