Happy Mondays "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches" (1990)
I wasn't a huge fan of "Bummed" the previous Happy Mondays album on this
list, but this one appealed to my sensibilities much more. The
production is clearer than 'Bummed's muddy sound, and the mix
of raucous, almost punky rock, with dance beats and hints of 60s
influences presents a sound that largely doesn't feel like it has aged
too much at all.
The album and band helped link rockers to ravers and probably influenced
some of the 'Cool Britannia set with its interesting mix of sounds a
production ideas.
