Saw him solo in Boston earlier this year. Bizarre venue, a wine bar with a concert room downstairs - a sit down and eat venue with servers bringing you your order as he played!Lloyd Cole is very underrated.
Id take his lyrics and subject matter over Moz any day.
I based my top 20 on that rule - what artists do I play the most, and limited to one album per artist.
I expected ‘definitely maybe’ to be high, and I’ll expect the stone roses along shortly. Other than that I had SLF, The La’s, and different albums for Talk Talk and Pearl Jam. So 6.
I would have Bowie, for 7, but couldn’t pick an album higher than the ones I picked, though he’d be no 1, in artists top 20.

| 2. van halen: women & children first |

I now live in Stourbridge home to the Poppies,Neds and The Wonder Stuff. I used to see Clint Poppy all the time around town.Aw, fantastic — it is NOT POSSIBLE that someone else had a PWEI record! I had “This is the Day”. Long live the Poppies!
Indeed . Same with my number 1.Aw, fantastic — someone else had a PWEI record! I had “This is the Day”. Long live the Poppies! Great taste mate!
Have to say I am miffed that no one else had Gang of Four’s “Entertainment!” That was my number one and the point system suggests it’s highly likely no one else even had it on his/her list :(
I saw the Ned’s at Trent Poly in 89-90, supporting Jesus Jones, the energy on stage was what did it for me... and it was also a ‘moment’I now live in Stourbridge home to the Poppies,Neds and The Wonder Stuff. I used to see Clint Poppy all the time around town.
