War by U2

Hard to believe that at this point, Bono was still relatively unknown and the whole world was yet to find out what a colossal twat he is. This era of U2 is kind of goth-tinged angsty rock. Sure The Edge had a distinctive sound, but it tips over far too much into the pretentious for me

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

I would rate this 10. His best ever album. Every single song is incredible
