pop will eat itself

Dos Dedos Mis Amigos is twenty years old on Friday (I think). Twenty! Bless its little samples. Seems like only yesterday it was pootling about in its cardboard fag-packet box (on cassette) and now look at it; all remastered and digital.

Once I got over just how old that fact made me feel it got me to thinking that, perhaps, 1994 was one of the best years for me musically so Im listing below my favourite albums from that sunny rose-tinted year below.

PWEI - Dos Dedos Mis Amigos
The Cult - The Cult
Beasties - Ill Communication
Manics - Holy Bible
Mozzer - Vauxhall & I
Saint Etienne - Tiger Bay
REM - Monster
Therapy? - Troublegum
Prodigy - Jilted Generation
and, yes, Blurs Parklife. Irrespective of how lame I think they are now I did like that album back then.

Anybody else wanted to feel old and name a few top albums from two decades ago?

Two decades ago? The greatest Thrash metal album ever, Slayer's Reign in Blood, is THIRTY YEARS OLD THIS YEAR!!!

That makes me feel old!

Plus Gang Starr's Hard To Earn, Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Portishead's Dummy, Massive Attack's Protection... not a bad year at all!

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral.

still say the best year in music was 1989

Technique New Order
Doolittle Pixies
Raw Like Sushi Neneh Cherry
The Stone Roses The Stone Roses
The Real Thing Faith No More
Paul's Boutique Beastie Boys
