1. Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)
Groove Armada too skillful in the wet, coming in ahead of Daft Punk, Wilco, You Am I, White Stripes, Garbage and, look, it's not Jamiroquai's best work but it was a very popular album back in the day

2. Diesel and Dust
1. Sign O The Times
Prince slithering and shimmying his way ahead of U2 (which will probably place 1 or 2 in the final count), Gunners, George Michael, the Smiths and Icehouse.

The early 80s choices are usually vibes based for me, relying on singles and artist rather than the album as a whole (I was but a child!), but I listen to these in full and reasonably regularly:
3. East
2. Gaucho
1. Sandinista!
Apologies to AC/DC, Split Enz, Taking Heads, and Jake and Elwood

1. Doolittle
With apologies to Paul's Boutique and the many, many strong albums featuring women (Neneh! Kate Bush! 10,000 Maniacs! B-52s! Kate Cebrano! Madonna! Melissa Etheridge!). If I'd thought about it longer, one of them would've made the cut

1. Vs (Pearl Jam)
Was tempted by a You Am I triple shot, and in the end the last place was Vs vs Oasis, REM, Portishead and Massive Attack.
And I guess Pulp and Oasis won the Britpop battle. No Blur or Supergrass!
