Album of 1984 (Round 3) - RESULT

[The Subhuman]

But it wasn't

I agree, not great but not bad

[NorfolkWhite]

You called it right with Doolittle mind you I'm biased on this one

Nobody else did with Snuff unfortunately......thought it was worth a point just for their cover of "I think we're alone now"

Maybe it's a year of "not bests" as all the top three artists have produced better albums IMVHO.

I definitely agree with you on that point Norfolk

Cure - 17 seconds maybe, Pornography certainly
Kate - at least 7 better albums
Pixies - Surfer Rosa knocks Dolittle into a cocked hat

Pixies - Surfer Rosa knocks Dolittle into a cocked hat

Oh, I don't know about that faaip. Surfer is definitely a more accessible record and the quality throughout is better, but there is a lot fluff on it. Clunkers all over Dolittle to be sure but the high points are higher imo. I think it depends what's important to you.

And speaking of Dolittle, I always loved the UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation more than the original. Here's a link for those who might not have heard it before. Check it out, worth a spin:

I love Dolittle but it's a little more polished and lacks that excitement you got with Surfer Rosa ..From that drum intro to Bone Machine to the 90's best single track in the jaw dropping Gigantic which kicks off the best run of four on any album ..River Euphrates, Where is my Mind and Cactus....

Best track for me on Dolittle is Gouge Away tucked away right at the end

Wish I'd been here

[The Subhuman]

Even more so because at this point my favourite bassist was on board ..Paz Lenchantin

Safe to say Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV is a god whichever Pixies album is your poison

between that and RHCPs 'Californication'.....with also an inkling for And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead 'Madonna'

[Muppet the Cat]

Sigur Ros 'Ágætis Byrjun'

Straight in usually means you're confident of nominating the winning album 64

Not at all Cat, don't think the Sigur Ros album will appeal to many or gain enough votes to win, it's an acquired taste & just happens to be my favourite in what was another poor year for music imo!

Tom Waits 'Mule Variations' or The Flaming Lips 'Soft Bulletin' would have been my other choices.

I've left RHCP's 'Californication' for you rock/guitar fans to scramble over which is the more likely winner unfortunately

[lufc1304]

Death in Vegas 'The Contino Sessions'

[gessa]

The Black Heart Procession '2'

[Gandalf]

RHCP - Californication.

Wilco - Summerteeth
