90s Essentials Discussion Day 2 - Examining Albums by My Bloody Valentine, American Football, Beck, Talk Talk, Silver Jews, Stereolab, Cat Power, and The Beta Band

As part of the 1990s Essentials Voting, we will be taking 10 days to examine and discuss the albums and their merits to belong on the Essentials Chart. Start debates on what does and does not belong. There will be one top level comment per album, so I hope most of the discussion can be done per album as replies to the top level comment. Be respectful of others opinions and take the time to listen to any albums that pique your interest.

Remember that of the group of 80, that this round 30 will get onto the chart, with 10 more at a later point.
