James and you like some of the same music.

I still haven't gotten into Mr Bungle but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Mellon Collie is a great album, seriously. I don't think I got into it until 1996, but the album only came out in November, right? Grandiose in a time when it was uncool to be so. I seriously don't care if Billy ever goes back to that style, but I just want him to go back to that same quality.

I think it probably knocked most of the other stuff out of the water that year, they pretty much reigned supreme then. I still listen to Oasis' Morning Glory from 1995 as well. And of course I still listen to the Bends, and it should make the list even if just for Fake Plastic Trees.

two albums talked up a lot here on Blamo that I haven't heard and would like to that came out in '95 - Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Linx and PJ Harvey's To Bring You my love

That's my favorite of 95 followed by The Bends and MCIS.

[ramblingrose]

I wish I could remember what year things came out. The Bends and Different Class are ace and I used to listen to that Charlatans album every day on the bus. Mellon Collie was pretty much my favourite of 2005 as well. I think I spent most of 1995 listening to the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and the 13th Floor Elevators though.

I know! You're the reason that one's talked up on Blamo.

[Daysleeper]

Smashing Pumpkins - MCIS

Radiohead - The Bends

Didnt Prodigy release fat of the lands then? Or was it 97. Fuck knows I dont really care, it's a fat album.

Age ain't nothin' but a number.

[Fab]

so's the death count in iraq.

[ramblingrose]

You're just annoyed that I look younger than you do.

[Fab]

i'm annoyed that you can grow a better beard than me.

(this has no basis in fact)

[ramblingrose]

I can't think of a comeback. feh.

[Fab]

cool, i'm off to have breakfast lunch and dinner, in one handy packet of noodles.

[ramblingrose]

Old people like noodles, they're easy to negotiate with dentures.

[Herr Lipp]

If you eat raw pasta and let it expand in your gut, you can go without food for a good 8 hours.

[Herr Lipp]

just thought I'd interject.

[ramblingrose]

Did you see that thing on telly last night about gastric bypasses? We wondered what would happen if you had one done, then ate lots of dry cous cous and drank a few pints of water.

[Herr Lipp]

you've gone way over my head you medical nerd.

[ramblingrose]

Ah, but did you see the thing about kids with Tourette's? I liked the boy who shouted "twin towers" best.

[Herr Lipp]

no didnt, wish I had though I love tourettes sufferers.

.........MOTHERS CUNT!

remember that kid from teh old, old documentary.

Wow, I'd pretty much have to agree. Ruins... never thought they'd get mentioned on these here parts.

I'm a big fan of Orb's ORBUS TERRARUM lp on Island... that's the first I usually think of when I think 1995.

[Daysleeper]

I was listening to Washing Machine by Sonic Youth this morning...and noticed that is from 1995, so I'll add that to my list of faves from this year...although I don't think I bought it until about 2002.

[vaya con dios]

WASHING MACHINE is the SONIC NURSE of the '90s. I really don't get why it's so great to so many people... with a few exceptions, a Moore and a Gordon number, not to mention the very fucking great closer, it's not something I get the appeal for.

[Kinbote]

I liked 1995; 1995 was a good year; 1995 was one of the last years not containing significant chunks of time that I wished I was dead.

I liked Jagged Little Pill. Did that come out in 1995?

I liked Jagged Little Pill. Did that come out in 1995? Yep. Sometime during the summer I think.

I liked the first half of 1995. The second half was when I started high school.
