Here's 1992. Pretty consistent year. I've tried to not forget too much albums, but it's a difficult task.

I only could choose Selected Ambient Works and Going Blank Again, because I haven't heard any of the other albums. Need to jump on them quickly!

Selected Ambient Works and it's not even close. I've criminally only got the two 'Selected Ambient' albums from Aphex Twin (the time will no doubt come when I buy his other works), but 85-92 definitely goes in my top three, vying with a place with Moz's Your Arsenal (part of the soundtrack to my fresher year at university). I feel bad for not being able to vote for Manics, but it's another quality year. The number one album for me though is undoubtedly REM's finest moment Automatic For The People. It's risen above Murmur and Fables as my favourite of theirs over the last few years. It may be their darkest album but it tops it with its beauty. I've been listening to it a lot coincidentally the last couple of weeks. Has their ever been a more unsettling start to an album like Drive? And the album reaches a crescendo with the final three songs - Man On The Moon, Nightswimming (one of the greatest songs ever written), Find The River is one of the strongest sequences to an album ever, and for me, the strongest ever conclusion to an album ever. It's a well known fact Kurt Cobain ended his life listening to this album. It's not much of a consolation to such a tragic and bleak end, but maybe he wanted to hear some last moments of beauty before he exited the world. |

Your Arsenal, Wish (the Cure), and Harvest Moon. Next would be Going Blank Again.

I've got their greatest hits and have heard a number of their albums but not this one in some time. You've convinced me to revisit it soon. |

How come this great debut didn't make the shortlist?  |

Automatic for the People and Your Arsenal are both all time classics, too close to call for me.

Automatic For The People is the only album in this list which I both know completely and love. I'm familiar with more albums from the list, but only a couple of songs per album, so not enough to call them favourites.

Going Blank Again - Ride
Very honorable mentions:
Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos
Automatic for the People - R.E.M.
I also like a few songs from Spooky by Lush, Amused to Death by Roger Waters and Angel Dust by Faith no More, but as a whole the albums listed above are much better.

Ángel Dust by a landslide. For me in addition: REM/Automatic Nick Cave/Henry's dream (that moment you are jumping up and down while sitting, listening to "Midlife crisis" ) |

Have you heard the rest of his output or just not bought it? If you've yet to discover his other work, you're in for a treat. He just tore through great albums in the nineties...If you're looking for a softer start, Syro is often considered his "In Rainbows" - a nice smooth blend of all the good stuff he'd experimented in before. I Care Because You Do...is pretty mellow too.

Kinda both - although I've heard bits and pieces here and there which I've loved so its only a matter of time. I don't really stream and I usually invest fully into music when I buy the album. Most certainly the time will come soon! |
