This!

This thread is an absolute joy, not just for the debate but for it's ability to recall different parts of my life! And that call is case in point. I remember listening to that Butthole Surfers album regularly when I was living with a bunch of guys and girls in Canada in the early 90s. If I'm...

Ah Giant Steps. And Lazarus in particular - probably my favourite indie anthem EVER. Unbelievably good track.

Hold on - we've just had a conversation off line where YOU decided Happy Mondays were NOT indie. Everyone else privvy to that conversation thought you were a mentalist. FFS!

I guess it's stretching it a bit to include The Fall in the indie scene, but if we're including Jesus & The Mary Chain, Nirvana & Pavement then I reckon it's fair game. In which case, I'd like to nominate Infotainment Scan. A quite ridiculously good album:

It is amazing how well those first 3 or 4 Blur albums have stood the test of time. MLIR is a tremendous album but often forgotten because of their definitive Park Life that came out soon after.

Indeed. Thankfully they weren't around until 2005-ish, so won't make the cut when Buzzer organises the 1980s & 1990s Indie World Cup. :thumbsup:

Sorry. This album has absolutely no business on this thread. Yes, yes it is! By far! I agree with this though. Although Bleach is proper grunge, almost Mudhoney-esque. Edit: Actually it is a great album, but top 10 is pushing it.

And it's a bit of a travesty that the first Stone Roses album hasn't yet been mentioned. Someone needs to sort out a world cup really.

I had a limited edition of that Sundays album, picture print vinyl. Reckon it might have been worth a tidy sum if it hadn't suffered from water damage. Oh, and their version of "here's where the story ends" will never be surpassed.
