as you are i am sure aware, i ttly love making lists. after reading sebastian’s list of albums for each year since he has been alive, i decided to traverse back in time and point out my favorite albums of the past few decades-worth of years.
here is the 1980s addition:
1988
The Church
Starfish
(Arista)
I almost feel guilty for not picking The Pixies’ Surfer Rosa (though it’s my least favorite Pixies album) or Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation, which are both so damn incredibly awesome, BUT, Starfish is just so impossibly good from start to finish that I can’t pick anything else…if not for “Under the Milky Way” alone, which is probably the greatest song written during the entire decade.
