People, I keep telling you... any other Curve record is better than "Cuckoo."

Still, this is a "favorite" list rather than a "best" list, so I suppose I can let it slide this one last time...but don't let me catch you goodmouthing this record again.

Honourable mentions must go to The Charlatans' "Tellin' Stories", Shack's "Waterpistol", The Chemical Brothers' "Surrender", Nirvana's "Bleach", Foo Fighters' "Foo Fighters", Basement Jaxx's "Remedy", The Prodigy's "Music For The Jilted Generation", Bjork's "Debut", Primal Scream's "Screamadelica" and Black Grape's "It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah".

When and where can we read the "New Order fans' favourite albums ever" magazine article?

Kim babe, can I do a TOP 100 instead??

...can you make a special allowance for me then? ;)
