Album 300. Loveless- My Bloody Valentine


Released 1991
This is the final album of the challenge and it is only right I choose my favorite
Loveless was the second studio by MBV, recorded over a two year period
Every time I listen to it, I hear something new
Creation Records


Album 299. Screamadelica- Primal Scream


Released 1991
Double album, gatefold sleeve
Eclectic third album from Primal Scream
This album consists of  rock, house, jazz, dub, ambient, electronica, soul and blues, and it all somehow works brilliantly
Creation Records

Album 298. The Stone Roses- The Stone Roses


Released 1989
When the Roses appeared in the late 1980s they seemed to come from another planet in terms of music and fashion
They never matched the quality of this album again, but when something is this good who cares
Purchased from Frank's Wild Records, Birmingham
Silverstone Records

Album 297. Forever Changes- Love


Released 1967, this is a reissue from 1971
This was a Christmas present in 1991, I have listening to this hundreds of times and its still sounds fresh
It's hard to believe that it didn't find an bigger audience upon its release
I saw Arthur Lee perform in the early 2000s and his voice was still amazing
Elektra

Album 296. Playing With Fire- Spaceman 3


Released 1989
I think this album contains the best work both Sonic Boom and Jason Pierce have produced during Spacemen 3 and after the band split
Purchased from Swordfish Records, Birmingham
Fire Records

Album 295. Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow- Funkadelic


Released 1970 this is a reissue from 1990
