For me, it's Definitely Maybe by a country mile. Next is maybe Live Through This. I like Monster a lot, but it's REM's 6th or 7th best record.
Prolapse have to be one of the most overlooked / underrated bands of the nineties or ever. The debut is fine but I think The Italian Flag found them at their very peak.
Great to find a fellow fan (see my list, top of page 6). I still remember hearing Deanshanger on the John Peel show, I'd never heard anything like it. Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes was really good album to go out with too. Strangelove - Time For the Rest Of Your Life, is an outstanding and hugely overlooked 1994 album too. So many songs on that still give me the chills after all this time. The title track was on a Q magazine 'World of Noise' compilation, which also had Street Spirit on. I loved it from the opening bars. Its worth noting that Radiohead toured with them, at the time Ed O'Brien said that they had been influenced by them and stated that Radiohead were 'post Strangelove'. Its a shame they burned out after the 1997 S/T album, a combination of Patrick's drug addiction & dwindling sales I think, but their 1996 album Love & Other Demons was incredible, and featured backing vocals by Brett & Richard from Suede too. The final album was good, but the first two still sound outstanding today.
Greg Brown - The Poet Game Beck - Mellow Gold Beastie Boys - Ill Communication Rusted Root - When I Woke Johnny Cash - American Recordings and Nas - Illmatic Pretty much it, for me.
Those days in Music weren’t the one I love the most......in fact I teally have to think which onrs I still listen to.... There is not really an album I pick out of that year. I have some , but are more limited to those years. I guess Superunknown I temember the most , but I rather listen to...
I made a playlist of ten favourites and am sat here drinking Duvel and soaking it all up. Had no idea they hailed from Leicester. The Scottish bloke. His accent on some of the tracks is quite prominent isn't it. Nice to have a girl used in a rock band the way Kim Deal fits in with Pixies? Prolapse pique my interest a lot. Some songs are like a crossover between The Fall and Sonic Youth so cruise along Impressionable Street for me. These are my ten songs: Black Death Ambulance Chill Blown Zen Nun Deb Burgundy Spine Hungarian Suicide Sobg Autocade Cacophony No. A Slash-Oblique Adiabatic Government Of Spain
Awesome list, gonna give this a play myself now. I love this: "Prolapse formed in the summer of 1991 under a table at Leicester Polytechnic's Friday night disco, "With the aim of being the most depressing band ever"." I have the 4 albums but never did delve into the singles. I wonder what gems could be amongst them.
Formed under a table! Maybe they couldn't afford the bill! I've done the singles. Nothing to write home about I'd say although I have yet to find Snappy Horse to listen to. I've now migrated to Death Cab For Cutie (sorry, a personal passion) but will return to Prolapse soon, notably for Zen Nun Deb, so wonderfully dark.!
