    Went for Pixies' Bossanova.

    I listened to The Good Son yesterday for the first time. Great album. I particularly enjoyed the Witness Song near the end, and of course The Weeping Song.

    Tough call, but I went with the Happy Mondays.
    On another day I could have picked the La's, or Jane's Addiction, or Sonic Youth
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    like a lot of others i went for "other" . Cant think of what else was around then but will come up with something after a quick google !

    EDIT:

    1. Suicidal Tendencies : Lights, camera, revolution

    2. Slayer: Seasons in the abyss

    3. Megadeth: rust in peace

    4. Pantera: cowboys from hell

    these would be a personal top 4.

    Snoop Dogg is where it went wrong. Initially it was because he went global, then he brought too much money into hip hop, then he believed he was a 70s pimp, and the whole scene became about money. These polls have shown the declining quality in hip hop if anything else, where are all the NWAs, Public Enemies and Tribes gone?

    That ATCQ album is a masterpiece though, I just had to pick Fear of a Black Planet over it as I remember listening to it non-stop for a long period from the age of 10-16, and have gone back to it again in my 20s

    Cake - Trashcan Sinatras. Great debut album (though it's not their best.) Of those listed the only one I could listen to is the La's.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Ah, someone else with taste. Good Man. Assume you have all their other albums ? If not I can't recommend them highly enough. The last release, "Weightlifting" is stunningly good. Probably the best album I've heard this century. Prospect of a new album later this year too.

    Very nearly went for Extricate, love that album. But, despite Fear... being the best of the PE albums by a long way, had to go for Tribe Called Quest in the end, it's a beautiful thing.
    more bass

    I do indeed, saw them in Cork a few years back, top class.
