In no particular order...

- Ex:el/808 State
- Modern Life is Rubbish/Blur
- Dig your own hole/Chemical Brothers

Other albums I have liked... Raise the Pressure/Electronic Twisted Tenderness/Electronic Songs of Faith and Devotion/Depeche Mode Very/Pet Shop Boys Be Here Now/Oasis Maladjusted/Morrissey The Great Escape/Blur
I find it nothing less than shocking that people actually consider the huge crock of shit that is Republic to be in their top albums of the 90's. I'd rather listen to the Gay Dad album.

one of the lesbians insisted i add 'everything changes' by take that to this thread - although she did so with a trouble-making glint in her eye which makes me question her motives.
the other lesbian was very keen to distance herself from this choice.

You know your music Dave but, boy, your math-s is shit.
Which bit of 'ten' did you miss? 
Surprised to see so many votes for 'In Sides' .. more popular than the Brown album amongst pop-pickers it seems.
i'd done it properly, with a winner for each year & some runners up (runner ups?) but when i pressed submit it wiped itself so i couldn't be arsed to type it all out again
shug - try the contino sessions first.
aye The Contino Sessions is a top album
check out the next album they released also, Shug - Scorpio Rising
aisha, i'm vibrating!
they played that in virgin (or zavvi, as they now call it) t'other day when i was there. tune.
depeche mode - violator the cure - wish radiohead - ok computer garbage - version 2.0 slowdive - just for a day my bloody valentine - loveless
