1988 part 2 elvischomsky - June 30, 2008 08:47 AM (GMT)
16 Lovers Lane - The Go-Betweens.
The fact the two Ls in the album title were split told us trouble was ahead.
They split that year.
What a band.

Isn't Anything – My Bloody Valentine. Prefer it to Loveless.
Good year '88 - Bummed a highpoint also, for the year and even more so for The Mondays.

Dylan's Down in the groove - He really surpassed himself on that one.

Mondays fer me.
I came across Laibach when looking up stuff about Michael Clark....OMG!! Fruitcakes or wot?!? :o

Cocteaus - Blue Bell Knoll.
It's the one with the REALLY daft titles - Spooning Good Singing Gum, Cico Buff, A Kissed Out Red Floatboat, The Itchy Glowbo Blow, to name but a few! :lol:
Mondays were good too! :thumbsup:

I know the two polls are separated by the alphabet, but somehow this first part seems far stronger to me.
Discounting Surfer Rosa these albums tower above everything from the second poll:
Bummed – Happy Mondays
Daydream Nation – Sonic Youth
Isn't Anything – My Bloody Valentine
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back – Public Enemy
The Go-Betweens, Loop and Pogues records are not to be sniffed at either.
Seeing Sonic Youth perform Daydream Nation last year in its entirety could have been be the deciding factor to pick it.

This must have been Drzava / The State. Great track.
Though, probably like many, I was confused when first seeing and hearing them.
Voted Daydream Nation. I keep good memories of the music from this year.

i was just about to post the same list, followed by dinosaur jr and butthole surfers.
i guess in the end public enemy wins, slightly followed by MBV.
btw, where's creator by lemonheads?

From Enslavement to Obliteration - blew my youthful mind at the time and is the epitome of a particular moment in the history of grindcore, when it was being more-or-less decently recorded and had more to do with anarchopunk than death metal. Still listen to it at least annually.
