Album of 1991 (Part III) - VOTE NOW!

[The Subhuman]

Head on the Door is a bit, sunny? for the Cure, decent album but not top 5 of theirs

It kinda pissed me off at the time as I'd followed The Cure from the start and then everyone and their mothers was buying In-between Days and the LP.

This was the first LP of The Cure's that I didn't buy. But I'd also been disappointed with The Top, which I still think is poor.

Dukes of Stratosphear - '25 O'Clock'

From the album, my favourite track, Your Gold Dress:

Surprised nobody went with this, and a band from Leeds too. Admittedly they dipped into sophisti-pop and it may have dated a little, and the singer was a bit pretty, but it's one I still dust down...

Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche 85

Might be a decade out there?

Oh, it's 85 now?

I could have sworn the list of albums we couldn't nominate were all from 1995. Im confused,

[Rook]

Ok, my new nomination. Correct year this time, lol.

Suzanne Vega ' Suzanne Vega '

[Mountain]

The CD contains a bonus track, which is The Word Girl but featuring a reggae MC, Ranking Ann, rather than Gartside...and for me it's a great break from all his breathy singing!
