Best indie rock alternative rock album of the year
Best USA album of the year
"Got me a movie
I want you to know
Slicing up eyeballs
I want you to know
Girlie so groovy
I want you to know
Don't know about you
But I am un chien andalusia"
Quality album from beginning to end. I remember the summer of 89/90 my mate copied this album and Surfer Rosa on each side of a tape. I hardly listened to anything else that summer and played to everyone who would listen.
10/10"songs: A third of the album! Hey, Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Tame, and Monkey Gone To Heaven [First added to this chart: 08/02/2017]

Best garage rock grunge album of the year
"You give it away like free samples
But I don't want what anyone can have
You got it
Yeah, you got it
So what?
Keep it outta my face"
Undervalued and underrated. Mudhoney where the first band that got me into grunge before Nirvana. They deserve to be mentioned as part of the big four if grunge - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. I have seen them live three times and met Mark Arm once and chatted to him. Made him laugh when I told him we used their cover of The Rose as one of our wedding songs.
