Nostalgia, I am not keen on the whole, Nostalgia tends to be 15 year olds saying how great something was even though they cant actually remember it or its Peter Kay saying Texan bars, they were tough werent they. That said 1987, twenty years ago this year. Was 1987 the quintessential year for music, was it ever bettered? Thats not an open question by the way, I dont want people replying no 1998 was because a shitty stereophonics album was released.

A post on another blog and thinking about it myself, I came to the conclusion that 1987 for various reasons is year zero.

The Wonderstuffs' Unbearable, Strangeways Here We Come, George Best, The Falls Hit The North, True Faith, Birthday, April Skies, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Come On Pilgrim, Music For The Masses, Licensed to ill, rebel without a pause, Box Frenzy, That Petrol Emotions big decision, REM's Document, Big Blacks Songs About f**king.

Thats pretty strong stuff for one year, will the same be said in 2027?
