Reply #13: Well, for starters, ditto that Camper Van Beethoven album.

2) DKs, "Plastic Surgery Disasters"
3) Sonic Youth, "Sister"
4) REM, all albums up 'til "Document"
5) Ministry, "Twitch." Seriously. That industrial thing was already creeping in and supplanting the Echo & The Bunnymen type stuff.

OK, that was High School. Here's college:

1) Ministry, "Land of Rape & Honey"
2) Jane's Addiction, self-titled live album & "Nothing's Shocking"
3) Cop Shoot Cop, "Consumer Revolt"
4) Helmet, "Strap it On"
5) Sonic Youth, "Daydream Nation."

Music seemed to get a lot heavier in '89 or so. I liked that. :D
