The Hardcore and the Gentle
Two from the early 90's in our continued odyssey of greatest tracks coming in at number 6:
1. Bjork - Big Time Sensuality (mp3)
I think there is a common theme in my appreciation of women artists - i.e. the fact that most of then are completely bonkers. Bjork is, of course, no exception and fully deserves the reputation foisted on her by most of the music press. Along with 'Human Behaviour' and 'Violently Happy' this album struck a real chord as I was about to begin teaching. Happy days indeed.
2. Suede - The Drowners (mp3)
The buzz and hype surrounding the release of 'The Drowners' and 'Metal Mickey' was huge in the early 90's. It was inevitable that Suede were never going to live upto the virtual deification status given them by the NME, but the tracks still have a resonance lost to many of the songs of this time.
