Division 2 is the only hard vote for me this week. Two of my favorite discoveries of the tournament. One I've already bought versus one I will buy the moment I find it used when I happen to be browsing a record store.
And, of course, Starsailor my #4 all time and one of my last two surviving nominations.
1. Townes Van Zandt - Live At The Old Quarter, Houston, TX
2. Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Unbelievably close and I'd be happy with either one. Both inside my top 80 albums.)
3. GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords
4. Van Morrison - St Dominic's Preview
5. Tim Buckley - Starsailor
6. Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
7. The Wipers - Youth Of America
8. Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam
