1990

Named 1990's best album by Q. Welsh Karl Wallinger blends Beatles, Bob Dylan, & Stones through a pop rock dance machine with vocal stylings similar to Michael Hutchence. Brimful of Asha sounds like they lifted Way Down Now wholesale. Put the Message in the Box is a M.O.R. nugget as good as any Jackson Browne. Ain't Gonna Come Till I'm Ready has a groove that creeps up like Jamiroquai in a LaFerrari. The cover art for World Party's first three albums is nearly perfect.
