Arguably the two most important Alternative albums to be released in 1989. Arguably two of the most important Alternative albums of all time. Without the Roses, there'd be no Oasis, without Pixies there'd be no Nirvana.

Musically they're styles apart but I think both bands have similar stories and parrallel histories, and as these two albums are considered to be the magnum opus of each respective band, I thought I'd do a little poll. But which one do you choose?

For me, tough as it is, I'm going to go with The Stone Roses. The perfect pop album, brings back so many memories. Each track is an anthem, and the whole album is a soundtrack to a generation. Their songs still send shivers down my spine.

Pixies, I love them and listening to their songs also give me a sense of nostalgia, but for me, Dootlittle is pipped by the Roses' debut.
