'Tis an odd one. Certainly not a stone cold 90s trip like old baldy balls.

On first look, doesn't look great, but on deeper investigation, some very underrated tracks from Utah Saints, Carter, Electronic (feat Neil Tennant), The Orb, Crowded House and big Roy.
Going to have a listen to this later before committing.
For today's one I'm kinda torn. The Big O is bringing the heat with that monster I Drove All Night, but I also ADORE Friday I'm In Love and have a soft spot for early Take That.
I bought The Love Album and The Cure's Wish and borrowed Nevermind from somebody, all on the same day. I listened to the first two and really liked them but then Nirvana blew my fickle tween mind and I decided there and then that Carter and The Cure just didn't cut it anymore. What dumb.
Narrowed down to a top five:
Please Don't Go
Rhythm is a Dancer
Something Good
On a Ragga Tip
Blue Room
Easy one this, Leeds' very own Utah Saints-U-U-U-Utah Saints and Something Good gets my vote. Kate Bush's Cloudbusting on sample duty. A Saints signed CD album nestles proudly in my collection.
