Suede Coming Up I left it out! Was cross-referencing the 1995 and 1996 lists simultaneously, playing catch up. Grrr.... Well, that's definitely in mine.

Apart from a few old stagers, the mainstream wasn't throwing up much of interest for me in 1996 but the folk/acoustic scene was undergoing a real purple patch.

Dodgy – "Free Peace Sweet" is one of my favourite albums of the 1990s. The Brian Jonestown Massacre produced three differing but strong albums in one year. "Take It from the Man!" "Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request" "Thank God for Mental Illness"
Sorry. That's the way it was set up in my spreadsheet many many years ago. Besides caps make the font look bigger so easier to read for the more mature members on the thread.
