Sinister: top ten albums of all time - discuss

[Geoff Sheridan]

That's off topic, this a teen angst list :)

Good picks, although I probably wouldn't have bothered with the 
Mondays or Verve.

What is definitely missing is the Tindersticks first album.
I'd also add American Music Club's 'Mercury', but I'd probably be alone.
Then Orange Juice 'You can't hide your love for ever' which every 
single fan of Scottish pop music should have welded to their 
turntable. Or something. Which would mean Belle and Sebby would have 
to go or it'd be a top eleven :(

OK so here're my picks:
1 Jeff Buckley, Grace
2 Tindersticks, first eponymous
3 American Music Club, Mercury
4 Smiths, The Queen is Dead
5 Nick Drake, Pink Moon
6 Orange Juice, You can't hide your love for ever
Dammit - it goes all 70s now...
7 David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
8 Television, Marquee Moon
9 Patti Smith, Horses
10 Pulp, Different Class

B&S might have squeezed in if....
11 Belle and Sebastian, first four EPs back to back on a CD-R
...was an album.

In other news, I see you don't have to be subscribed to Sinister to 
make the Footie team. Shameful.

PS Buy lots of American Music Club records. Go on.
