Can we have 4 albums by my rules please TK?

I was going to do it Tony's way in due course, but I'll have a pop.  I don't really do the 60s, just the odd tune.  Ditto the 70s and Paranoid only has 8 tracks.  Those two decades will have to wait for the Moanero method. 

 

80s I would go with Bleach but I don't consider it a quintessentially 80s LP with an 80s sound, it's more early 90s in sound once that kind of music made the breakthrough to a wider audience.  Technique and Power, Corruption and Lies are favourites of the 80s but they don't have 11 tracks so I guess Bleach wins by default.   

 

90s is take your pick but it comes down to a showdown between Sweet Oblivion (Screaming Trees) vs Black Love (Afghan Whigs).  I think Black Love has some wonderful high points but going track vs track over 11 songs I'd have to give it to Sweet Oblivion.  It's just absolute perfection from start to finish.

2 fine choices there sir and I like your reasoning. 

 

You have however only given an answer to 2 out of the 4 available questions so I'm afraid it's a maximum 5 out of 10 for you.

I'm not a 60s/70s aficionado, no point pretending otherwise mate.  I accept my 5 rating gratefully.  

 

I always eschewed the older stuff in favour of the bands of my time, that's what it was all about to me.  I know that those bands drew heavily on 60s and 70s influences but to me they just sounded better.  

[cloggypop]

By the way, only TK gets a rating.

You pedantic prig. The CD has a couple extra so I'm having that!

No way could I pick individual songs,why not just do a set of 'Now that's what I call music' stuff?
