"Loveless" hangs over this thread like a big, black ominous hanging thing. So I'll say "Definitely Maybe".

While I dig a lot of the bands on Creation, it's more of a singles label to me. Maybe because the various artist comps are so good?

Spencer, you are like my long-lost twin.
that would imply that our choices are influenced by heredity rather than simply and irrefutably CORRECT as we both know they are!
maybe we were separated at birth, or possibly part of a half-asian government breeding program? (actually, I know next to nothing about baseball, so maybe not!)

Everything else is, with hindsight, rubbish. I'd like to fart particularly loudly in the direction of the embarrassing Primal Scream, the jaw-droppingly awful Boo Radleys, the idiotic Super Furry Animals and the monstrous Teenage Fanclub - a band who perfectly represent everything that one must avoid in music at all costs.

More faves, including "The Telescopes", "Inference" by Pacific and "Teenage symphonies to God" by Velvet Crush, a sort of angst ridden suicidal Teenage Fanclub (and therefore so much better).

Revolving Paint Dream - Mother Watch Me Burn (CRE-LP/CD 039) Jan 89
discovered whilst sleeping over in a friend's room and picking one of her tapes at random for something to listen to. only the tape had no track listing and it took a good 6 months to find out what it was.

At least the poor old Boo Radleys had a cack-handed shot at trying to be interesting with 'Giant Steps'. Their problem was actually being able to DO anything with what they heard - GS is just a third division indie album with some self-conscious noisy bits tacked on(weird, man, sort of like Revolution No.9!) and some club footed efforts at dub. There's nothing good to say about Wake Up Boo though. A sobering experience.
Super Furry Animals - they *should* be good, (Hometown Unicorn almost really WAS!) only we realized a long, long time ago that it could never happen. It was all lies. All we have to choose from is a pub-rock version of Roxy Music or a pub-rock version of Roxy Music who sing in Welsh. (Let's try and pretend that the keyboard player's little indulgences don't exist). I was unlucky enough to catch them at the Finsbury Park New Order gig last summer and it was like listening to Sergeant Pepper at 16 rpm.
Primal Scweam - how can ANYONE like them? Isn't Gillespie's gurning idiocy just too much? EVERYTHING about this lot is tragic - from the album and song titles onward. You couldn't parody them better than they parody themselves. Fools.
