Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

I would anti-recommend Bauhaus and Devo.

DEVO

And yes, I am of course familiar with Heaven or Las Vegas, but I only have a cassete copy so I included it on this list just to see what you all would choose.

Based on seeing your list, and not seeing your list, get the Devo. The Built to Spill really is one of the best albums of the '90s, so I'd get that one too. And you seem to like the '80s, so get the Bauhaus third.

"In the Flat Field" is kind of dire

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 12 March 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

Bjork.

Out of those, Kinks, clearly. Although "Post" isn't too bad either.

"closing time"
"keep it like a secret."
