Hey Indigo, thanks for that lovely comment. There’s an awful lot of Smiths on my videos. One of my goals when I started the VC videos was to rebuild my Smiths 12” collection which I sold in 1992 and document it..I’m halfway there. Thanks again! 😊

While Dave was listening to Napalm Death along with you, I was busy crying over missing the Depeche Mode concert. . I won tickets and my parents wouldn’t let me go. Crushed! I didn’t hear of HappyMondays until later, but loved them, too. Love DinoJr, too…and Pixies forever! What an awesome year for music…so much awesome variety.

Hey B. I don’t often move into thrash, but the whole earache record label was so ridicoulous it really appealed for about a year ‘Unseen Terror’ were my favourites! Mental! Yeah the Mondays went huge over here after ‘Step On’ then the follow up album ‘Yes Please’ was absolute crap..& they never recovered! Dino are the best! I think 88 is almost as good.

‘She popped up on Facebook, after several hours of searching’ love it 😂 Key question for me is why Terence Trent Darby become a green grocer if he couldn’t sell carrots 🥕 I love The Wedding Present, great album, great cover. Strangeways is my favourite Smiths album, I know I’m in a minority. Pilgrim brilliant! Well done on keeping your inners in tact 😁 You have so sold that Husker Du record to me…..I just need it now……punk rock Rumours, yes I need it! Fabo video, loved it! Mike

Hey Mike! Yeah that Huskers album may appeal to you, for them it’s almost standard indie rock, try a track like ‘Ive Cold Ice or ‘ Friend You’ve Got To Fall’ if you like them then your probably enjoy the rest. I’m glad you picked up on that joke!...nobody else has...it takes an uncommon mind to understand my sense of humour Mike..make of that what you will 😆

The Terrance Trent album was released during my first full year working at Strawberries Records. I was a clerk at the time and later a manager. But I had a lot more fun as a clerk because I was around the new releases constantly. We had store playlists tapes that promoted the new releases. I must have heard the first four tracks on the TTD album 900 times. But I never got sick of it. I really liked the album. The Lilac Time cover always reminded me of the inner book inside Quadrophenia. The black and white shots of the houses were really similar. You choose so many of my favorites from 87 that I do not know which one to start talking about first. It is too late to leave a 100 line comment. But I could easily do so Harris. Brilliant choices. Especially Locust Abortion Tech and naturally Strangeways. Strangeways was in my top three albums of 87. By the way. I also love I Won't Share You. Morrissey's vocals are undeniably real and beautiful. . Just a quick story. I met Bob, Grant and Greg Norton before one of the early Husker Du shows at either Cantones or The Channel in Boston back in 1984. I think they played with The Minutemen if I remember right. Anyways. I remember telling them the quickest way to get to Newbury Street. Grant has his arm in a sling because he fell the night before. But he was good for the show. I also met Bob again thirty years later as a club in Provincetown. I did not recognize him at first. It was kind of dark inside. We talked for about five minutes. Super nice guy. Like yourself. Thanks Harris. My favorite post of the week~ Rob/Boston

Wow Rob, incredible Huskers Story..it seems you’ve met most of my heroes at one time or another. I find the whole backdrop to Warehouse fascinating & tragic. It seems the band were just combusting, & the album feels like a document of those times. I didn’t like it at first, but it slowly turned into my favourite album of theirs. Locus is an incredible album, I REALLY hated it when I first heard it, then it all started making some sort of sense..I listened to it again last night..it’s still absolutely bizarre .Paul Leary has to be the most underrated guitarist ever (along with Joey Santiago!) It sounds like your record shop career was more successful than mine..I was only 17 at the time & thought HMV were working for me! 😆 Needless to say I was soon shown the door...but the musics industries loss was the insurance industries gain! 😆 Thanks as ever Rob, always appreciate your comments.

Before watching I was saying "1987? What was I doing? Listening to?". Well, working, penpalling, trading tapes, school, being 33 etc.. Most of the penpals were girls and I entertained them with mixtapes which included songs from over half of the albums you showed. Sonic Youth, Wedding Present, Buttholes, Pixies (one girl made special address labels for both of us with Pixies lyrics and photo) Big Black, Husker Du and more! '87 was obviously one helluva great year!

Look forward to your 88 list Steve, if there’s not too much crossover between us I will do one myself!

Yes Surfer Rosa with Albini at the helm is probably one of the most influential records released in my lifetime. I suspect we both might have that on our 88 list, but I think there a lot I would have that you won’t, so could be intersting 😊

Hi, Harris. So, 1987 was my absolute worst year. Less than 2 weeks into the year I totaled my family's car leading to 2 plastic surgeries. That was the least traumatic thing that happened that year. Music did help a lot, so I listened to Cat Stevens "Teaser and the Firecat". Because of my deep depression I never turned it over. I listened to side 1 over and over. If I had been listening to some of the records you showed it might have really helped me.

Like you, it’s a record I put to bed about 30 years ago, But Ive started playing it again, it’s still holds up, the melodies are just so strong. The Wedding Present are very English.

Nice calls throughout. Very 1987! Totally with you on "Sister"..."EVOL" is the better record, any day of the week. I'm also, I'll freely admit, one of those weirdos who think that "Strangeways" is The Smiths best album. "I Won't Share You" (totally agree, it's a wonderful song) is apparently a lyric aimed squarely at Marr by Mozzer as they were parting ways, and Johnny was looking to "play the field" with other musicians. Good shout on "The Lilac Time", too. I remember "Return To Yesterday" was the single, but it never got a sniff of "proper" chart action. I'd only just discovered Peel in '87, so probably snagged the biggies in your list circa the following year or two (definitely bagged all of the Huskers, Buttholes, Pixies, D Jr, Big Black during this period). I'd probably have REM's "Document" in my 15...the last IRS full-length, and that front-loaded side one is all killer. Cheers! D

Napalm Death line up changed very quickly, I think even during Scum I remember reading that Grant Hart was incorrectly diagnosed HIV+. Particularly devastating for a current addict, which hastened his decline.

Yes..I meant to mention that Mark, so good call.I always do these videos off the top of my head, so each time I forget something I intended to say, traumatic times for Grant. Yes, I read that the Napalm line up was pretty fluid..I’m not a big enough fan to know the ins & out but I imagine the bands family tree would look fairly messy! Cheers Mark!

Hi Harris - At least Southampton are semi respectable. Norwich are heading towards relegation. My Top 3 in 87 were The Replacements , The Cure & That Petrol Emotion. I saw The Pixies open for The Cure at Dodger Stadium 🏟 in 1989 & 30 years later The Pixies opened for The Cure again at The Rose 🌹 Bowl 🏟 in 2019 ( Rose Bowl hosted the 1994 WC Final ). That Lilac Time record is outstanding.

We’ve just scored another last minute winner! I still don’t actually think we’re that good..but we’re scraping by! Norwich are a mystery mate, the wheels have fallen off. I remember reading about that Cure gig. I’m glad someone else likes that Lilac Time record. I’ll have to look at when we play the Canaries next..I’ve lost track! Cheers David!

Nice you mentioned That Petrol Emotion. I bought End of the Millennium Psychosis Blues because it was in the cheap bins. Surprisingly good album. Greetings

Hi Martin.TBH I never had an uncool phase when I was young I was reading the weeklies from about 14 & was all these credible albums...it’s only in the last 15 years that I’ve been searching for pop singles, which is now my main love.I just bought the extended mix of ‘The Sun Allways Shines On Tv’ it’s awesome..& the Blow Monkeys ‘Diggin Your Scene’ my music taste has developed in reverse! 😂 Football! The games gone mate!

Oof! Crikey they're all a bit loud. You must be completely mutton if you've been listening to that lot since 1987. Just checked my collection of records from 1987, it's mostly country and world music...Oh, and George Best.

Ha,Yeah Headley, it struck me this was a fairly loud selection.I grew up in Slough under Heathrow’s flight path..so when I moved down south Maybye I subconsciously yearned for the deranged tones of Napalm Death & Big Black! I actually made the decision to stop listening to music through headphones a few years ago as my hearing was clearly shot to bits & its Definately helped!..although the neighbours now hate me.....even more.
