I got Slint's Spiderland for Xmas '93.
I listened to it for maybe a half year straight. Nothing else. Just this. 'Washer' was my favourite song, followed by 'Good Morning, Captain'. Brian McMahan basically just whispers/talks/screams his songs against the back drop of really heavy guitars and drums. Ahhhh! The whole album is amazing. Even at that age I knew this was haunting and unlike anything else I'd ever hear before.
