The N+G Album of the Year...

docs.google.com docs.google.com

85 will be an interesting year - lotsa sad-sack raincoat wearers in contention like the smiths, the cure, j&mc

quick look in my itunes for tagged oztrayan and kiwi albums from 1985 brings out the following antipodean options for those playing along at home and looking to hear something from down under:
  • nick cave's "first born is dead"
  • the church's "heyday"
  • divinyls' "what a life"
  • do-re-mi's "domestic harmony"
  • hoodoo gurus' "mars needs guitars"
  • inxs' "listen like thieves"
  • paul kelly's "post"
at least one of those will be top ten for me
