I have been listening to a few albums of my youth (driving home from work) and 3 albums that i really enjoyed were
Ex:el - 808 State
Emergency on planet earth - Jamiroquai
Road to freed9m - Young Disciples
 
Indeed, it differs from those with poor taste! There's a hell of a lot of people with less than zero taste who think Spice Girls, Kylie, Boys Own, Little Mix etc etc are just fab!

I don’t hang with those cats.

Or cats, come to think of it.

I suggest you avoid them, it can rub off, so I have heard. ;)
 
I got engaged in 1991, married in '92, children arrived in '94,'96 and '97.

Several albums that have great memories attached to them still get regular play.

In I think some sort of chronological order

Room to Roam
Rumour and Sigh - Richard Thomposn
U2 Achtung Baby and Zooropa
Throwing Muses - The Real Ramona
A House - I am the Greatest
Twist - The Fat Lady Sings
Pixies - Bossanova - Trompe Le Monde
REM - Automatic for the People
Cranberries - Everbody is doing it so why can't we?
PJ Harvey - Dry
The Fall - Code Selfish
Lloyd Cole - Bad Vibes
HMHB - This Leaden Pall
Lemonheads - It's a shame about Ray
Fran Black eponymous, Teenager of the Year and The Cult of Ray
Jon Spenser Blues Explosion - Orange
Edwynn Collins - Gorgeous George
Breeders - Last Splash
Portishead Dummy
Tindersticks 1
Massive Attack - Protection
Leftfield
Chemical Brotheres - Exit Planet Dust
Ron Sexsmith eponymous
Steve Earl - Train a Comin'
Cornershop - When I was born for the 7th time
Car Wheels on a gravel Road - Lucinda Williams
The White Stripes eponymous


What a bloody great decade.

weighted a bit towards the start of the decade for obvious reasons.

Just playing Automatic for the People seriously for the first time in 15 years or so. (I love Out of Time too.) It's still brilliant but the production is very bright and splashy is my first impression...

Which ediion/mastering are you listening to? Are you streaming?

I am listening to the ripped 1992 CD and it sounds fine. Running it through Audacity and Spek doesn't indicate "brightness" either.

According to the Dynamic Range Database the Redbook remasters show some compression.
The best DR-wise are Blu-ray and DVD-A.

That's a good question. It's a ripped CD - JRiver shows 10 or 11 in DR calculated from the rip rather than taken from a database, which isn't too bad. I wouldn't have bought it in 92 because I didn't own a CD player until 96 so probably later 90s, I guess it's the same. Do you know if the vinyl mix was any different?

Ah yes Leftfield "Leftism" was good. Glad to see another naming Waterboys Room to Roam as well. You seem to have accidentally added The Fall though...
