For your listening pleasure, the title track from the third best album of the year, Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury
That's 10 points on the board, with some bonus points for correctly guessing which of these I own. After Week 1, the standings are:
- XWL, 16 points
- justkim, 10 points
Rules: Points only for those you know without googling. Obviously I can't stand over you with a Nun ruler, so I'll borrow from the guidelines Ken Jennings uses for his Tuesday Trivia:
As with all good trivia, it would take you about 30 seconds to Google the answers. So you're on the honor system here: no peeking, and only send in the answers you knew off the top of your head.
Unless otherwise noted, spoiler discussions are allowed in the comments. So discuss the answers as much as you want in the comments and if you're still guessing then avoid the comments until your answers are ready.
Answers will be listed on Tuesday.

I'm sure of these:
1. Automatic for the People, REM
9, Ten, Pearl Jam
Random Guesses:
2. Slanted and Enchanted, Throwing Muses
3. Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
4. Red Heaven, Red House Painters
You own
Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury
The Buffalo Tom album
The Nick Cave album
The P.J. Harvey album
I don't know jack about this kind of music, but I do know "Automatic for the People" is REM and that "Ten" is Pearl Jam. I'd have to guess that "Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury" would be by Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy, and I'll throw in the guess that "Slanted and Enchanted" is Pavement.
First off, screw Melody Maker, bunch of limey gits.
Second of all.
1) REM
2) Throwing Muses
3) Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (the only album on this list I bought)
4)
6) PJ Harvey (who I love now, but wasn't into yet, in 1992)
7)
8) Red House Painters
9) Pearl Jam
11)
12)
(Throwing Muses and Red House Painters are only vague guesses, I'm confident in my other picks)
And Michael Franti's follow up band, Spearhead, wasn't nearly as good as Heroes.
I listened to that Disposable Heroes album in my car as the riots exploded all around me (just after my bosses car had a molotov cocktail tossed under it by a group of teen thugs riding in a Suzuki Samurai, rather comical when you think about it).
ANSWERS:
1. Automatic for the people - REM
2. Slanted and enchanted - Pavement
3. Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury - Disposable heroes of hiphoprisy
4. Red heaven - Throwing muses
5. Eleven:eleven - Come
6. Dry - P.J. Harvey
7. Henry's dream - Nick Cave & the bad seeds
8. Down colourful hill - Red house painters
9. Ten - Pearl jam
10. UF Orb - The Orb
11. Lazer guided melodies - Spiritualized
12. Let me come over - Buffalo Tom
We own REM (the wife's) and Disposable Heroes. For some strange reason, despite her being one of my favorite acts of the 90s, I do not own PJ Harvey's "Dry."
