A little project I set myself today was to come up with my favourite records of the year for as far back as I could go. The one who goes the furthest back without missing a year wins a free autographed nothing.
2007 Field Music-Tones Of Town
2006 Joanna Newsom- Ys
2005 Super Furry Animals- Lovekraft
2004 Nick Cave- Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
2003 Patrick Wolf- Lycanthorpy
2002 JJ72- I To Sky (oh fuck off I like it)
2001 Regina Spektor- 11:11
2000 Primal Scream- XTMNTR (Primal Scream weren't always dad rock bollocks)
1999 Bonnie Prince Billy- I See A Darkness (VERY CLOSE just pips Super Furry Animals' Guerrilla and The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs)
1998 Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (another close one, just beats out Hefner's Breaking Gods Heart)
1997 Kenickie- In The Club
1996- Belle and Sebastian- Tigermilk (no competition really, but its a shame because any other year The Auteurs' After Murder Park would have walked away with it)
1995 Scott Walker- Tilt
1994 Saint Etienne- Tiger Bay (just pipping, Dog Man Star, Siamese Dream, Vauxhall and I and Grace. A good year)
1993 Teenage Fanclub- Thirteen (seriously underrated album)
1992 Daisy Chainsaw- Eleventeen (again fuck off, I like it)
1991 My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
1990 Pet Shop Boys- Behaviour (Being Boring=the best song ever written? Possibly..)
1989 The Field Mice- Snowball
1988- Leonard Cohen- I'm Your Man
1987 The Wedding Present- George Best

1984 Echo And The Bunnymen- Ocean Rain
1983 Tom Waits- Swordfishtrombones
1982 Kate Bush- The Dreaming
1981 Orange Juice- Ostrich Churchyard ( I don't care if it was only released in 1992 and then again as the bulk of the Glasgow School compilation in 2005 it was RECORDED in 1981, so nur)
