Hmm. I find it impossible to pick just one of those.
Giant Steps, Wake Up!, C'mon Kids and Kingsize are all wonderful (of course the others are very good too) so my favourite could be any one of those.

No doubt about it. Kingsize.

Kingsize is the album that defined the 1990s for me. No other album comes close in my opinion with the possible exception of Giant Steps. With every listen, Kingsize reminds me what it is I love about music. It's topical (Monuments For A Dead Century) and yet it is timeless (Eurostar). It's powerful (Free Huey) yet it has a heart (Song From The Blueroom). It has a track called High As Monkeys - what more could you possibly want from an album?

Altogether now: "You've been away too long. It's lonely when you are gone..."

C'MON KIDS

coz it's weird and popdiddlyastic in equal measures

although you could almost say the same about WAKE UP!

and KINGSIZE is just perfection (or as close as yr gonna get... with the exception that I think Free Huey goes on just a little too long, but I've said that before, haven't I...)

wasn't there a new official Boo Radleys site talked of a while back?

Love em' all, but, today is bank holiday mode (even though I'm at work), so, "Wake Up" got my vote.

They released two masterpieces in the 90â€™s GS and KS. Few bands like Pulp, Pavement, Radiohead, Built to Spill, and Super Furry Animals did that.

I have found out one thing, the hardcore fan like me, love Kingsize best becauseâ€¦

I have played no other album more than Kingsize since itâ€™s release. I ranked it, on my main posting board, third (all time of any) album ever released.

I voted for Giant Steps, even though the later 3 albums are clearly better really... but Giant Steps is the one with all the memories for me, and I'm a sucker for that kind of thing! Smile
