The Sundays vs Depeche Mode for me. 90's me would've definitely voted Sundays, but modern me has listened to Violator more frequently since then.

Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints. A top 10 record of mine ever since I first heard it sometime mid-90s. I loved hearing four songs from that album (possibly the most special songs even) on his farewell tour.

That Poison Idea record is very very good.

Own Lard, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Prefab Sprout, Ride, The Chills, The Cocteau Twin, The Fall, The Fatima Mansions, The House of Love, The La's, They Might Be Giants, Uncle Tupelo
Going with Prefab Sprout but The Chills and The La's albums are right there with it. Also adore the Fatima Mansions, not too many of us around I expect.

Great year, many acts peaking (Pixies on their way down though). I'd also put in a vote for Lush's Gala.

It probably should be PE, but I went with Fugazi because I saw them around this time (just after Rodney King video came out, and just before Gulf War I) and it changed my life.

Depeche Mode vs. The Fall is doing my head in at the moment. 🙃
Update: I eventually went with Extricate purely because I felt like enough people would be giving love to Violator. Y'all don't prove me wrong here.

I thought Violator would win this didn't expect Cocteau Twins to joint win
