By the the last 20years I mean the best since Joy Division & The Smiths were around. Nearly all of my favourite albums in this period are american which has led me into asking.......................for me its a task to consider this question,,,,,,,,hmmm?
Tricky....Maxinquaye
The La's
Massive Attack......Blue Lines
....................these are the only obvious two that stick out for me, the Tricky record standing as one of my all-time favourites. I suppose I'd include a couple Radiohead and im sure there may be one or two just hiding from me in my head but still it seems a paltry number unless I include those than I enjoyed for moments in time(like oasis and all)
