Golf's verdict: Even when I was 13 I preferred The Dead Kennedys and The Damned to the likes of Anthrax and their like. Nothing on here to make me revisit that call.

Maire's verdict: The only track I recognised was 'I am the Law' and I think that's because I've heard another version. The rest I can do without.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Pulp at their finest were an absolutely amazing band. This album - and its immediate predecessor, 'His and Hers' - are two of my most treasured. We were lucky to see them in their original guise (on this tour, in fact) and again when they reformed in the Noughties. Sadly missed.

Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! One of my all time favourite albums. A work of pure genius and 'Disco 2000' always reminds me of one of my best mates, Ged.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I love Mark Lanegan's voice and own many of his solo records, but this was the first time I had heard Screaming Trees' final album. Whilst they were never a huge draw, there's plenty of evidence here to suggest that missing these when they were active was a real shame.

Maire's verdict: I hadn't actually realised this was part of the challenge when I was listening to it. Very enjoyable and will definitely listen to again.
