On at i’m actually a little stunned, in a bad way, at some of this–particularly the pixies at number one (which is ridiculous), and sonic youth and ministry in the top 10. However, there are a lot of other fairly high-placing albums here–top 30-40–that i quite like and didn’t expect would rate so high (for instance, cocteau twins–top 10!–& galaxie 500), and overall, i like that this year’s results, for a change, were eclectic and not simply a reflection of who the 10 most popular alt-rock bands of the day were. Of course, this is also mitigated by ’88 being a no-cure, no-DM, etc. Year.and we have touched on this before, but clearly these results are about what alternative fans NOW see as the best records of this year, not what they/we were actually listening to in 1988–because about 10 people were actually heavily into the pixies, sonic youth, dinosaur jr., nick cave, front 242 and the go-betweens IN ’88. But all in all, this poll is a fine document of the VASTLY diverse landscape of alternative/modern rock/college rock etc. That existed for a very brief moment back then, in that little window where american jangly proto-indie rock and british post-punk and dreampop and hard-rock/psychedelia-influenced pre-grunge and industrial rock coexisted in a weirdo’s paradise. The late 80s into the early 90s boasted an embarrassment of musical riches.
This was my top 10, for what its worth: the sugarcubes–life’s too good r.e.m.–green prince–lovesexy tracy chapman–trac.
