how many times do I have to see them live before I become an 'MBV guy'?

Ys is probably the best of the lot. It's an acquired taste and I definitely wasn't big on it when it came out, but when I revisited it recently it really hit. Yellow House is phenomenal, definitely recommend it. I do wonder sometimes if it's just nostalgia but it genuinely was a very strong period.

All classics, imo

It's long but I am a sucker for a long record (when it's good anyway). I'd also really recommend What's Tonight to Eternity, it might be even better than Diamond Jubilee (and shorter)

Cindy Lee for me comfortably. Honourable mentions to Mount Eerie, Spirit of the Beehive, Chanel Beads, Loidis, Jessica Pratt
