Nice. Must dig both of these up again. They deserve a 2018 spin!

 

I'm really struggling to think of albums I've heard in full from 1992. The Church's Priest=Aura may be the only one.

I like the first and last three songs of Automatic For The People but the middle sags. I like what I've heard from Magic and Loss but there's a handful of tunes I still haven't given a proper listen. And I can't remember half of Hit to Death in the Future Head, though both side openers are fantastic.

 

Chris Gaffney - Mi Vida Loca
Iris DeMent - Infamous Angel
John Gorka - Temporary Road
k.d. lang - Ingenue
Los Lobos - Kiko
Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth
Michelle Shocked - Arkansas Traveler
Tom Waits - Bone Machine

 

My top 10 from that year, in no particular order:

R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
Toto - Kingdom Of Desire
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Dada - Puzzle
Dream Theater - Images And Words
Extreme - III Sides To Every Story
Peter Gabriel - Us
INXS - Welcome To Wherever You Are
Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists
The Black Crowes - Southern Harmony & Musical Companion


Some honorable mentions: Paul Weller's solo debut (great, just not as good as the follow-ups), Bon Jovi's Keep The Faith (A+ side one, mostly filler on side two), and Lindsey Buckingham's Out Of The Cradle, which just missed the cut.
