Sexy Pee Story!!! i had forgotten about that one. that's a good one.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 29 May 2005 03:38 (eighteen years ago) link

CHROME!!!! alex, i didn't even see that you had that up there. I wore that album out back then. i love that thing. my copy even had a shiny chrome-like cover. that would have made my top ten.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 29 May 2005 03:43 (eighteen years ago) link

my inner jack rabid comes out when i talk about stuff like catherine wheel albums.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 29 May 2005 03:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I totally forgot about the Pavement Crooked Rain, Bikini Kill, Smog, and Yo La.. but I didn't hear those until later. I listened to the Juliana Hatfield Three and the Morphine records a lot that year, though.

I've got to pick up that Cows record, I love them, and I can never find any of their stuff now..

I think we should maybe all have a big knock-down drag-out fight about the Pet Shop Boyus Very, which is apparently loved, but is maybe my least favorite.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 29 May 2005 11:37 (eighteen years ago) link

1993 and 1994 make me say wow. And I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that that was my first school year at college ...

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Sunday, 29 May 2005 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

http://acclaimedmusic.net/1993a.htm

Thank You!

I don't remember In Utero being that rapturously received at the time strangely, but I knew 'Debut' was very highly ranked at the time (9/10's all over the place, in at #2 here).

I hadn't realised Peej & Orbital's contributions were '93, weirdly because I'm pretty sure I heard them in '93!

Morphine - Cure For Pain
Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
PJ Harvey - Rid of Me

my fave was idaho's sadcore apex year after year. only scaruffi mentioned it, so you are probably right about taking him as your reference, scott. i think together with 1991 1993 was the best year of the 90s. the other 20 releases (of 116 in my collection) i really enjoyed in alphabetical order:

Apartments - Drift
Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish
Breeders - The Last Splash
Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It...
Stephen Duffy and Nigel Kennedy - Music in Colors
Bob Dylan - World Gone Wrong
Gallon Drunk - From the Heart of Town
Giant Sand - Purge and Slouch
Gun Club - Lucky Jim
Rickie Lee Jones - Traffic from Paradise
Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See
Murat - Vénus
Red House Painters - "Rollercoaster"
Stereolab - Space Age...
Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts w. A.
Sugargliders - We're All Trying to Get There
The The - Dusk
Tindersticks - s/t
Trash Can Sinatras - I've Seen Everything
Unrest - Perfect Teeth

No love for 808 State's 'Gorgeous' :( (granted it is their weakest album apart from the last one but still...)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Sunday, 29 May 2005 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

today i watched parts of that 5 hours or something thrill jockey 10th birthday dvd on the inspiring musical moments and björk raved about 808 state. i liked her much more after that interview than before.
