'88 is pretty amazing, but that 79 team is perfection too and does not deserve to be this far behind.

So (and I know AM won't mind), I am voting against my team and going with 79!

Ha ha, cool. 79 really shouldn't be that much behind. 20 Jazz Funk Greats and Metal Box are both awesome; better than all 88 albums, perhaps with the exception of Daydream Nation.

Same finally, probably on account of "Electricity" being thrown in. Never been a fan of that song.

My vote came down to if I disliked Mudhoney enough to vote for the other team, and well, I don't dislike them enough and so i am voting for 1988.

Yes 1979 has replaced "Teenage Kicks" with "Electricty" by Orchestral Manoeruvers In The Dark.

No, the EP, released on Good Vibrations records. But that is the original single release. I don't really care either way (whether it's allowed or not), but as far as I'm concerned it's a '78 release.

Anyway, here's an awesome article on the history of the song. Some choice cuts:

Quote:

Good Vibrations released ‘Teenage Kicks’ on 31st August, 1978, and although it initially didn’t make much of an impact, Terri Hooley’s belief in its potential and his efforts on behalf of the band didn’t go unnoticed.
“Terri went to London to see if any record companies or distributors would pick up the single,” says Damian O’Neill, “and although he got rejected by the likes of Rough Trade, CBS and EMI, he was, more importantly, the man who passed on the single to John Peel. If John Peel hadn’t played it, we probably would have broken up. We were always breaking up. If my memory serves me correctly, I think we broke up a couple of weeks before we recorded ‘Teenage Kicks’ and again a week or two after. There was always somebody leaving the band — except for me, of course. I never left the band; the others always did. So, that song was a testament to our existence, and if John Peel didn’t like it I wouldn’t be speaking to you now.”

Quote:

Indeed, Peel played the entire Teenage Kicks EP on his 12th September show and, in an unprecedented move, spun the title track twice in a row.

Quote:

Boasting a new sleeve, ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re�'released by Sire on 13th October, 1978. Three days later the Undertones recorded a Radio 1 Peel Session with their DJ mentor, and on the 25th they performed the single on Top Of The Pops. Things were moving at a rapid pace.

and on Wikipedia and Discogs it's all explicitly stated that it was originally released in 78, so there's been some understandable confusion. Im going to recognize it as a 78 single, though, all up to the game-master to decide if it's allowed or needs to be swapped

Yea, "Teenage Kicks" was originally released in 78, the only question is if it was officially released as a single then. Will do more research but might have to force a single change here (which is too bad, one of my favorite songs :cry:).

I really thought "Teenage Kicks" had been released before 79. Anyway, it's a tie for me, can't decide. Two awesome teams. Using You Made Me Realise as an album certainly looks weird though.
