Pavement for the win?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

I like almost nothing on this list.

But I went with Cypress Hill's only good album.

Bands I never even heard of before:

The rockingbirds - The rockingbirds
XYZ - Moose
Furthest from the sun - The family cat
Asquarius - Cud

And there are others (Boo Radleys, Beautiful South, Fatima Mansions) who I've heard of but I really have no idea what they do, not that I'm intrigued.

Either way, compared to those NME lists in the early '80s, this is just fucking pathetic. When exactly did NME give up funk and reggae etc that American critics were too stodgy to pay attention to for whitebread Brit-pop (even whitebread Brit-pop by Americans, which is basically what Bob Mould was doing by this time.) What was the turning point?

― xhuxk, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:04 (eighteen years ago)

I take it you don't like the 1991 Poll either then?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:07 (eighteen years ago)

Boy, the Brits loved Throwing Muses, eh?

It IS a lame list. Tonight I'd vote for PJ Harvey, Pavement, or Sugar.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:18 (eighteen years ago)

Slanted & Enchanted, that was simple.

― Saxby D. Elder, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:21 (eighteen years ago)

Select http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/select.html#1992
and Melody Maker http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/mmlists_p2.htm#1992 lists from 1992

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:28 (eighteen years ago)

PJ Harvey's is the only one that I've actually grown to like more over the years, so that gets it. Easy.

― JN$OT, Sunday, 6 May 2007 03:48 (eighteen years ago)

I'M BACK! BACK IN DENIM! AND DENIM PUT THE SOUL IN YR ROCK 'N ROLL!

― acrobat, Sunday, 6 May 2007 03:51 (eighteen years ago)

wow this list is really horrible. is between pj harvey and kd lang for me - prefer pj but if i don't tick ingenue it'll end up with 0.

if pavement win i'll be nauseated. god, ilm-ers have awful taste these days.

― lex pretend, Sunday, 6 May 2007 06:57 (eighteen years ago)

Y'all be crazy. I can't decide which one yet. I've got it down to 5 or 6.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 07:13 (eighteen years ago)

Cypress Hill.

― Dan S, Sunday, 6 May 2007 08:10 (eighteen years ago)

Didn't Copper Blue win this originally? It's a good album, can't argue with that.

― MacDara, Sunday, 6 May 2007 08:25 (eighteen years ago)

It does look a poor list, but it is from a time I had loads of disposable income (and was disposing it mainly in record stores) - so I know nearly all the albums quite well (though I can't recall The Rockingbirds, I could look them up and I'm sure I checked them out at the time).

So a lot of these albums gave me a lot of pleasure at the time. Valhalla Avenue, Copper Blue, Dry, Dirty, Code: Selfish... well as I said most of them were fine at the time. I'm not sure why this period had dated so badly.

I went for Vahalla Avenue, as I loved it at the time, and though I havven't listend to it in years, I think Cathals seething misanthropy will never go out of style despite the rock band arrangements of the songs.

― Sandy Blair, Sunday, 6 May 2007 08:52 (eighteen years ago)

:( = Everything's Alright Forever right at the bottom, right where Slanted and Enchanted should be.

― DavidM, Sunday, 6 May 2007 08:54 (eighteen years ago)

I'm astonished at the number of these albums I used to own but don't any more, it's at least 10 of them (including the Consolidated record, shamefully). Voted for dc Basehead as that and the Tom Waits are the only ones I still have. Terrible list though, I mean The Rockingbirds?! Ha ha!

― Matt #2, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:12 (eighteen years ago)

Voted for R.E.M as there was no XTC, no Peter Gabriel and no k.d.lang. All of which (plus a couple Norwegian acts that I would not expect to find here) made better albums in 1992 than "Automatic For The People".

― Geir Hongro, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:15 (eighteen years ago)

there is kd lang geir! and yeah ingenue is brill.

― lex pretend, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:21 (eighteen years ago)

I ended up voting for one that I figure will need the love and support.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)

that list is awful but i dont think the 90s was well defined by albums

― 600, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:46 (eighteen years ago)

great debuts from pavement, pj harvey, and cypress hill.

I voted pavement.

― nicky lo-fi, Sunday, 6 May 2007 10:00 (eighteen years ago)

Copper Blue still stands up well.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

http://www.thesimpsons.com/bios/images/bios_guests_cypress.gif

CYPRESS

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

I presume I will be the only one voting for Moose.

― braveclub, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

What a lackluster list. Not much on there excites me now though I must confess I still play Copper Blue every once in a while. Overall, this is the kind of tripe that used to get labeled "alternative" down at the sadly departed local record store. Xerox copies of stuff that might have been ground breaking five years earlier.

Guess I'll vote Pavement by default.

We're the early nineties really this bad?

― leavethecapital, Sunday, 6 May 2007 16:11 (eighteen years ago)

"wow this list is really horrible. is between pj harvey and kd lang for me - prefer pj but if i don't tick ingenue it'll end up with 0.

if pavement win i'll be nauseated. god, ilm-ers have awful taste these days."

I would watch a television show religiously that featured just you and Geir talking about music. You both make me feel like I'm coming out of an ether binge into an alternate dimension.

There were some decent albums on there— Bone Machine, Dirty, Hypocrisy, Psalm 69, Check Your Head, Brother George, Bricks Are Heavy, Lazer Guided Melodies, Automatic... And, while I don't think it's the best, I've been enjoying the Stereo MCs lately (their Connected was a whole channel on an inflight radio console thing, so I got it for a quarter from the used bins).

― I eat cannibals, Sunday, 6 May 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

Of course the lex is going to hate anything the NME has in it's list.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:03 (eighteen years ago)

thats not really fair, one thing lex isnt is predictable

― 600, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

explain

― pretzel walrus, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

sometimes hes standing and other times hes fallen over. you can never tell ..

― 600, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

Bloody hell. I quite like 'Dry' and 'Southern Harmony', but the Manics get my vote for being the only ones making an effort. I dread to think what 1993 has in store.

'The Love Album': The sleeve was an EU flag mock-up I think, and the album's release conincided with the Maastricht Treaty. I remember Jimbob and Fruitbat (shudder) holding their promotional press conference at a model euro-village near Brussels.

First up, some keen young euro-reporter: "Do you believe that European integration can truly bring the young peoples of Europe closer together?"

"We're taking the piss," they sneered in response. How the rest of that Q&A must have just flown by!

― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

I would watch a television show religiously that featured just you and Geir talking about music. You both make me feel like I'm coming out of an ether binge into an alternate dimension.

diff is that secretly and really you know i'm right, it's just...habit which makes you all listen to...this stuff.

― lex pretend, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:42 (eighteen years ago)

Gen Terrorists with at least 2 votes then. Woohoo.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

I voted Pavement after a little thought, but I don't think this list is quite as barren as you're all making it out to be -- Sugar's awesome debut, REM's most cohesive '90s album, Spiritualized's classic debut, another great Nick Cave effort, PJ Harvey absolutely destroys on her debut, Sonic Youth goes pop (and does it better than Rather Ripped in my opinion), one of Tom Waits' most essential albums, not a bad Fall album, Pavement's inimitable debut album that went on to influence an entire decade of stuff, Brian Eno with an Eno album (not his best, but still...not bad), and the last great Cure album -- that's a pretty good handful of stuff, and not nearly so bad as say, 2006.

― stephen, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

I wish I'd voted for Predator now.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 17:58 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's even worse. How many classic tracks on these fifty albums? Nightswimming, You Love Us, Motown Junk, Hotel Illness, It Was A Good Day, Papua New Guinea, a handful of others. Midlife Crisis and Jump Around from the singles list (http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/1992.html). Thank the lord for Suede.

― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 6 May 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

I forgot Sexy MF though! 1992 is redeemed!

― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 6 May 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

How many of these albums do you own? I have 13 of them.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

Of course the lex is going to hate anything the NME has in it's list.

This from the guy who still hasn't explained how and why NME's list devolved from forward-looking funk and reggae and dance music in the '80s to backward-looking indie-rock tedium in the early '90s

― xhuxk, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

Oooher! Noodle is right! Gen Terrorists is here to vote on! Tempting!

But there's also admirable PJ Harvey and Stereo MC's albums to acknowledge.

In the end, though, I'm voting for Buffalo Tom's Let Me Come Over. Yeah, that is one of my fave albums ever.

― Bimble, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:26 (eighteen years ago)

This from the guy who still hasn't explained how and why NME's list devolved from forward-looking funk and reggae and dance music in the '80s to backward-looking indie-rock tedium in the early '90s

How the hell should I know that? I have never written for NME (or anyone)
Ask someone on here who has for that answer.
I didn't even read NME in the 1980s.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)

Does anyone here remember when Morrissey was on the cover of a British music weekly with a bottle of some kind of cleaning fluid? When the hell year was that anyway?

― Bimble, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Anyone know why was Basehead called dcBasehead in Europe?

He wouldn't be near the top of the list, but I wore out my cassette maxi-single of 2000 B.C. back in high school.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

This from the guy who still hasn't explained how and why NME's list devolved from forward-looking funk and reggae and dance music in the '80s to backward-looking indie-rock tedium in the early '90s

That'd be because it didn't, then.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, let's take a year out at random in 1984. No reggae albums, and only Holger Hiller, Bronski Beat, and Shannon as dance acts.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

1987 has Sly & Robbie and Lee Perry as the sole reggae representatives, and no dance music.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:47 (eighteen years ago)

I mean yeah, great, the kids of your generation were all fighting the power and listening to exciting experimental music that sure did keep all those squares up at town hall shook, except no you didn't, you were all listening to The Housemartins.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:48 (eighteen years ago)

There's about 8 Hip Hop albums in that list, a little bunch of "dance" related stuff, some American rock groups, k.d. lang, Right Said Fred. I'm not saying it's a work of exquisite taste and phorward-thinking, but some of you people seem to be ignoring all of that altogether.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:53 (eighteen years ago)

Someone's going to mention the "hip-hop wars" in a minute, as if they were anything other than an in-office battle over who got to rim Chuck D that weekend.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

You can argue that NME's coverage of non-Rock was tokenist from the early 70s onwards. It's called having a target market.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:18 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's a pretty good list for what it is; with the exceptions of Cud, the Beautiful South, EMF and the Rockingbirds I've still got all of these in my collection.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:19 (eighteen years ago)

you all sadden me :(

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:19 (eighteen years ago)

EMF > TLC, because inserting an orange into your foreskin > killing Puerto Ricans children, as far as wacky antics by dead members goes.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

free your mind lex

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

Robson and Jerome > Joe Meek, because being good to your mum > shooting your landlady

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

OTM

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:25 (eighteen years ago)

If Joe Meek had shoved an orange into his foreskin, that tragedy could have been averted.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:25 (eighteen years ago)

Plus Joe Meek never sampled the top comedians of the hour, as EMF did with the work of TV funnyman Andrew Dice Clay

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:26 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe he could have produced records for Lance Percival?

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:26 (eighteen years ago)

they didnt have oranges back then

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:27 (eighteen years ago)

They carved oranges out of swede and painted them orange, and you was happy with what you got.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)

actually have heard too many of these but I went for ice cube, even tho 13-yr old me prob would've went for ministry. mostly because I still have a poster of the predator album cover and he's smoking a bowl w/a skull on it, which is pretty sweet.

― original bgm, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

I wonder if all the Spiritualized fans are too talked out on the other thread to bother with this one.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:12 (eighteen years ago)

ie Kate to thread

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Reading this list makes me think two things:

a) my god, I really wasn't into music Back Then

b) did people really think Stereo MCs were that important?

― Forest Pines, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:02 (eighteen years ago)

people thought Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine were important

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

People loved Stereo MCs. Knew people who loved Carter but I doubt they would say they did now. ILXors are a different case though. Plenty showed their love for them not so long ago in a previous thread.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:14 (eighteen years ago)

Several prominent and once-prominent ILXors are going to see Carter live in the Autumn.

― Groke, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

And I bet you are one!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

1992: The Love Album was far from their finest half-hour, I admit.

― Groke, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

vile band

― 696, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:21 (eighteen years ago)

Doesn't mean any of them would claim they were important. I like plenty of bands that don't matter one fuck in the grand scheme of things.

BTW, pfunkboy, ILXors are people too.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

Not people I know in real life though.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:05 (eighteen years ago)

Geir do you have a best of 1992 list?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:21 (eighteen years ago)

Wait a minute... Carter are playing live in the autumn? ...and they're sold out already! Damn!

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:42 (eighteen years ago)

Copper Blue - Sugar

I still play this and love it. To me it finally took the melodies and vocals that were buried in Husker Du and allowed them to shine through. Most of my Du-Gooder friends hated Sugar and most of Mould's solo output but I am not most Du-Gooders.

Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury - Disposable heroes of hiphoprisy

This is one of my favorite hip-hop albums...

The predator- Ice cube

...Alongside this. For very different reasons - I dig Franti's lyrical musings and this is Ice Cube's best *sounding* record by far.

Generation terrorists - Manic street preachers

Underrated.

Psalm 69:How to succeed & suck eggs - Ministry

Heh. Not their best but still sounds great in the local Goth emporium.

Wish - The Cure

I just bought this for three bucks.

Bricks are heavy - L7

Liked it a lot at the time, haven't played it in ages.

Play with toys - dcBasehead

I really liked this band when they came out (and a lot of Imago's roster actually especially the overlooked Orangutang) but haven't listened in ages.

Check your head - Beastie boys

A solid disc I revisit sometimes.

The verdict: Sugar barely beats The Predator.

― NYCNative, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

Geir do you have a best of 1992 list?

I do have Top 50 lists for every year at RYM. The lists don't tell how I consider most early 90s years rather weak years for music though.

― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 01:25 (eighteen years ago)

Tom Waits - Bone Machine.

― jed_, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 01:41 (eighteen years ago)

actually you know i'm REALLY GLAD the nme never bigged up amazing music like en vogue or tori amos; if they had i might have ended up buying it religiously or something terrible like that, and who knows what would have become me. thanks, nme idiots, your dreadful taste in music saved me!

-- lex pretend, Monday, 7 May 2007 22:10 (Yesterday)

my guess is you'd be going overboard in praise of lemonheads and babes in toyland and calling anyone who liked nme favourites en vogue a revanchist idiot. just a guess.

Mercury,Brits,NME,Kerrang Awards , don't need any of them. Fuck them all.

I loved Hüsker Dü, but Sugar gave me a hypoglycemic crash. Aside from a few choice melodies, nothing sticks. Mould was listening to shoegazer stuff at the time (odd that NME left out Catherine Wheel and Ride), but I prefer Seam - Headsparks.

What about God - Possession, Jesus Lizard - Liar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Devotional & Love Songs, Bark Psychosis - Independency? What about Mano Negra, Cul De Sac, Kyuss, Young Gods, Stereolab, Main, Afghan Whigs, Screaming Trees, Dog Faced Hermans, Luna? As usual, not such a bad year, as long as you don't fucking rely on NME or the Voice...
