Best indie pop jangle pop album of the year
Best debut album of the year
Best UK album of the year
"Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don't know"
I was a teenager in the 80s listening to alternative music so it sort of goes without saying how impactful on me, and how influential this album was. To this day I still try to get my mind to rule my body. The power of positive thinking.
10/10 songs: Still Ill, Reel Around The Fountain, Hand In Glove, What Difference Does It Make? [First added to this chart: 07/29/2017]

Best live album of the year
"I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
I don't know what I look like!"
My introduction to Talking Heads and a gateway to them being one of my first obsessions, and an early influence on the development of my musical appreciation. One of the best live albums with in most cases superior versions mainly because of their talent in performing live.
10/10 song: Psycho Killer [First added to this chart: 07/29/2017]
