ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how much pain this listing has caused me?! I had to choose (CHOOSE!!) between Blur, Elastica and Supergrass for 1995! Anywho, I pegged you to favor To Bring You My Love over Stories but yeah, Tricky does win out.
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna have to have a little talk about what was released in 1993.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young we didn't have "albums." We used rocks, and rubbed them together, and that's how we made music.
