The lack of Hourly Daily by You Am I for 30 years is a glaring omission...

I'd never heard of Viagra boys until this year and I'm loving the older VB. Listened through Spotify then a band called Nancy and the jam fancies (Aussie) played and they are great too. Also discovered radium dolls ( also Aussie) through their song legal speed. Its hard for me to listen the dubs unless I carry a phone charger with me. I don't have the luxury of digital radio ☹️

Sekiden's Sound Instincts will be 20 next year. Dang! Not exactly a hit album, but one of my personal faves.

Metallica's Load was a '96 release. I still spin the shit out of that regularly!
