Album of The Year - Endgame

I was 16 years old in 95, so this list brings back a lot of nostalgia. 1995 is probably mostly remembered as a great year for gigs for me - Oasis at Earls Court, Stone Roses' comeback, Jeff Buckley - but some fabulous albums too.

1. The Charlatans - The Charlatans
2. Radiohead - The Bends
3. Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
4. Supergrass - I Should Coco
5. Ben Folds Five - s/t
6. The Jayhawks - Tomorrow The Green Grass
7. Eric Matthews - It's Heavy In Here
8. Bjork - Post
9. Goodie Mob - Soul Food
10. Paul Weller - Stanley Road

6. nick cave and the bad seeds - murder ballads

That was 96, otherwise it would be in mine too.

1. Björk - Post
2. PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
3. Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do
4. No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom

For being the year I was born it feels weird that I can only find 4 albums that I like and know well enough to bother listing here, filling it out to 10 for the sake of it seemed not genuine, so there you are.
