No.895: "Debut" by Bjork (1993)
Iceland's freaky version of Kate Bush (or Tori Amos?) with her initial offering since leaving The Sugarcubes. Bjork is an acquired taste to many, myself included, but this album proved her worth with some stunning songs.

Very true mate. A band who couldn't hit it big in the USA even if they tried. Americans simply wouldn't understand this typical British humour would they? Somehow though, the Arctic Monkeys became massive out there!

No.894: "American Fool" by John Cougar (1982)
John "Cougar" Mellencamp hit the big time with this album which features the classic Jack And Diane. He never really hit his stride in the UK despite remaining a massive draw in his native USA.

Last one from me today...No.891: "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" by Rainbow (1978)
Richie Blackmore recruited the mighty vocal talents of the diminutive Ronnie James Dio for his post-Deep Purple band, Rainbow. I believe this album is their finest moment.
