What - no Metric? I'd include the second Espers album as well, but that might be just me.
You totally called us on that, well done! For some stoopid reason we only remembered Fantasies! Bad Helen of Troy...!
Well I'd better not mention Joanna Newsome or Sonic Youth then.
That said, no doubt 20 people could come up with 20 lists with 20 different records on each one and none of them would be wrong.
or Aerial - Kate Bush's fantastic song cycle about a midsummer day. The closing three tracks are the best three she's recorded since Hounds of Love...
It's Blitz! It's Blitz! Better with every listen innit! Counts as the decade doesn't it? I think I need to re-visit Blackout too, it's shockingly high up in lists everywhere. I remember I liked the production but hmm ... can't remember what songs are on there.
Two PJs, for sure. Two MIAs, wha' huh?
