Yes to Pavement (I love Crooked Rain) and Teenage Fanclub. Don't know about Frank Black or Weezer (I never got past their first album).
Songs in A+E is something I should pick up myself, so would also be interested in feedback.

Thanks for that, Noby.
Being whimsical for a minute - Puchasing a dud album is one of life's little aggravations.
That said, taking a chance on what turns out to be a pleasant surprise can be worth the gamble. This is a very rare occurance I've found, however.

I will purchase by concensus!!!!

I'd definitely recommend Pinkerton, Weezer's finest IMO.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Yes, yes, yes to both Pavement LPs, particularly Slanted And Enchanted as it's my favourite. In fact, go for the hat-trick and get Wowee Zowee as well.
Weezer I know little about, and Frank Black is one of my many blind spots too. In fact.....
Songs In A+E I would guardedly recommend, actually maybe not even that much. If you've not got any Spiritualized you'd be far better going for Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space and/or Lazer Guided Melodies instead. And Pure Phase!
Haven't any of the Fannies albums after Thirteen so can't comment on the last one.

For me SFNB is the pick of the post-Bandwagonesque albums (although I heven't got the last couple)

Oh it's many a time I've purchased on a whim, with varied results. I don't have that album because my general purchasing has taken a nose dive the last year, and when I do it's more likely that I would get something that I previously had on tape rather than something new.

Still do it a bit too, not as much as before mind.
Christ, some of the sh!te I've picked up over the years on various whims!
Worst thing though is hearing a couple of singles, liking them enough to buy the album, and then finding out there's eight or nine other very good reasons that they were the two singles.

Not his best solo album if you include the stuff with the Catholics but still a good buy. The first half of the album is fantastic stuff, the second half less so. Still worth it though for that first half. If you like the Pixies then you'll love it. I always thought his pre-Catholics solo albums could really just have been Pixies albums - especially the self titled 'Frank Black'.
Deal on all of them, except maybe Frank Black as I don't know that album.
Songs From Northern Britain is by far and away my favourite Teenage Fanclub album, some cracking tunes on there, Songs From A+E was one of the better records of last year, Pavement are Pavement and Pinkerton is a fantastic little pop album. All worthy purchases
Deal, though neither are as good as Wowee Zowee IMO.

Yes, Yes, yes. Highly recommended. Though personally, Grand Prix is my favourite Fanclub album.
My top recommendation would be another Scotish band though, Trash Can Sinatras. Sublime, melodic pop music. (Might be a bit laid back for some tastes, but I love it) Weightlifting and I've Seen Everything are wonderful albums. My favourite band.(And they've a new album in April,
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Thanks for all of the feedback, folks. I may well just get them all for the 2nd year running!!!
I've neglected buying up the Pavement albums for years - Brighten the Corners is the only one I owned - so I'm really looking forward to finally emersing myself in "Slanted", "Crooked" and "Wowee Zowee".
Am I over romanticising my late teens or was the very early 90's a great time for music?

A bit of both perhaps.

Indeed.
Quoting years at random since 1975
you wont regret it.
I agree - most of my favourite bands came from in and around that time. Faith No More, Pearl Jam, Nirvana (at the time), Wilco, Pavement and Whigfield.
must say i don't go back to the stuff i liked from early 90s too often with the exception of pavement and In Utero. and verve! remember early verve! chr!st they could do no wrong back in the early star-gazer days. gravity grave, blue, she's a superstar, man called sun, good good stuff!
zombie/thread killer..
Maybe but it was a great time. Mondays, Roses, Charlatans, Blur, Ride, Flowered Up! EMF, Jesus Jones, Inspiral Carpets, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain (I know they'd been around for a while but I love Honey's Dead), Dinosaur Junior, Pavement, Sonic Youth, Suede, Pulp...
Early to mid nineties was the greatest era ever as far as music is concerned IMO. Why? Because you had all that great stuff and you could still listen to the great stuff from the past. What a time to be a teenager!

Story folks - terrible pre match tension.
Anyhoo - would appreciate some feedback as to whether you'd rate the following as I'm considering pick up this lot soon:
Who's Next? - The Who
Murmur - R.E.M
Disraeli Gears - Cream
Exile on Mainstreet - The Rolling Stones
My Way - Ian Brown
