top ten albums of the nineties

i don't know what mine are. yet. i'm just dead bloody bored and this seemed to be the logical next step...

could someone else start the ball rolling please while i do a bit of staring at the wall?

blue lines dummy debut

they're definites. they're 'safe'.

your arsenal if you're feeling sinister slanted and enchanted

they needn't get their slippers on just yet.

i'll give it some more thought...

No particular order:

Mazzy Star, "So Tonight That I Might See" Tindersticks, "Tindersticks" Massive Attack, "Mezzanine" Cocteau Twins, "Heaven or Las Vegas" Spiritualized, "Lazer Guided Melodies" Suede, "Suede" The Sundays, "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic" Verve, "A Storm in Heaven" My Bloody Valentine, "Loveless" Portishead, "Dummy"

I could go on.

Much love,

ooooh good, ones to nick.

i'm having loveless, heaven or las vegas and *maybe* suede.

sundays - static and silence tanya donelly - lovesongs for underdogs

and those naughty little beastie boys are clamouring for some attention. that's too many now. i shall mentally hone and whittle, whilst in the pub.

Republic is an obvious one.

As are Violator, Songs Of Faith And Devotion and Ultra.

But how about the 1991 Billy Bragg album Don't Try This At Home?

The opening track, Accident Waiting To Happen, is the perfect soundtrack to Boris Johnson's next four years in London (even if I agree with the booze tube ban!).

Also Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour Fleetwood Mac - Behind The Mask The Shamen - Boss Drum Enigma - MCMXC

1/ Primal Scream - Screamadelica 2/ KLF - The White Room 3/ Electronic - Twisted Tenderness 4/ Radiohead - The Bends 5/ Morrissey - Vauxhall & I 6/ Beastie Boys - Ill Communication 7/ Pet Shop Boys - Bilingual 8/ Placebo - Placebo 9/ Blur - Parklife 10/ Depeche Mode - Violator

here's a few

mezzanine - massive attack bends and ok computer - radiohead pressure - electronic tindersticks drawn to the deep end - Gene reading,writing - sundays superstition - siouxsie and the banshees up to our hips - charlatans

From top of my head

Republic Whats The Story Class - Pulp Bends - Radiohead Electronic Twisted Tenderness Manics - If You Tolerate This Nirvana - Nevermind Garbage - Version 2 U2 - Achung Baby

Also Dodgy, Parklife and Verves Urban Hymns were popular for me.

i dunno. These lists are too difficult for me. one 90's album on heavy rotation is Slip by Quicksand. Post-hardcore usually not up my alley but this one hits the right notes.

The late 80's to mid 90's were wilderness years for me (too busy changing nappies?)so here are my memorable LP's.

Sisters Of Mercy - Some Girls Wander By Mistake Massive Attack - Mezzanine Echobelly - Everyone's Got One (EGO) Belly - King Tricky maxinquaye Pulp - Different Class Oasis - Definately maybe REM - Out Of Time Elastica - debut

Can only think of 9!

1. Dance into the light- Phil Collins
2. NKOTB - Face the Music
3. Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch - Music For The People
4. U2 - Pop
5. Billy Idol - Cyberpunk
6. NSYNC _ Home For Christmas
7. Shaquille O'Neil - The Best of Shaquille O'Neil
8. Vanilla Ice - Extremely Live
9. Aaron Carter -Aaron Carter
10. Crash Test Dummies - A Worm's Life

Going to have to think about this, two certainly spring to mind though;

Superfuzz Bigmuff - Mudhoney Seamonsters - Wedding Present.

Can't see why Republic would be an obvious choice though.

maybe cause it's shite

No particular order

House Of Love - Fontana Future Sound Of London - Dead Cities Electronic - Electronic Massive Attack - Blue Lines Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust Drum Club - Everything Is Now Orbital - Brown album Portishead - Portishead Radiohead - OK Computer (or maybe The Bends, it's close)

No surprises there, then

have to admit i'm probably guilty of getting caught up with the Oasis hullaballoo 94-96 and associate some great times with Defintely Maybe and Morning Glory.

The Shamen's En Tact is close also.

The first half to mid nineties seems to have been the best period for albums for that decade.Not so many in the latter half.

ah fuck , forgot Screamaedelica.And The Orb.And Leftfield.Oh i give up on these bloody lists

Most of mine have had a mention by others already so can't be pestered listing owt...The Verve-Urban Hymns,to add.

They were still simply Verve then, Liam, back when they were good.

I take that back, actually: when they were great....
