So was just on Wikipedia reading about the Pixies (again), and saw this...
Sounds - Runner up Album of the Year - - Doolittle - 1989
Melody Maker - Runner up Album of the Year - Doolittle - 1989
Anyone know which album was 'album of the year' according to those mags?

Apologies for the lack of quoting skills. As for the spelling, that was a typo. Anyway, i'm sure everyone got the point.

Let's try this: mine came up fine earlier, and has since disintegrated (geddit?).

Even "South Park" knows that "Disintegration" is a monster album. |

Disintegration wasn't very good except for Lullaby.

Making a statment like that should be illegal, but I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Unfortunatley.
[/quote]No, should definitely be illegal. I find Lullaby to be the least interesting moment on the album, and it's still a classic song.

Your quoting technique actually IS illegal. 
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

The Stone Roses self titled album was pretty good. Kind of hard to compare it to Doolittle, they are completely different musically. |

Disintergration is a great great album. From start to finish. Great. |

from my (admittedly shoddy) memory, there were two best album charts in melody maker each year - one voted by readers and one voted by critics - and doolittle won the readers poll (but not the critics poll) in 1989 ... conversely, I think surfer rosa won the critics poll but not the readers poll in 1988, but I seem to remember the write up being a bit begrudging about it (reference to it being most critics' 2nd choice) |
