I'm going to rule against this as it's a CD reissue of a cassette release. But if you have a spare 3 hours absolutely watch the opera on youtube. It really is fantastic.

I've never paid any attention to Tom Tom Club after their first two albums. In my head they're an 'early 80s band'. I don't think I even knew this album existed. But I gave it a proper listen last night and it's great.

Cor tough year.
I was anticipating great things from Jon Spencer after Pussy Galore, but 92s debut was a massive let down.
The Magnetic Fields did 100,000 Fireflies which is one of my favourite songs . . . but the rest of the LP is monotonous, tedious, plinky, brain hammering dogshit.
Organ Fan by Silverfish only had a couple of decent tracks . . . and I am not sure they have stood the test of time for me.
Binge and Purge by Lunachicks only has one or two good tracks too.
I never bought the 92 Royal Trux LP for some reason, I also never bought the Babes in Toy land Fontanelle LP which had some great tracks, but I just couldn't get past the creepy broken doll on the cover . . . I can't stand toy dolls.
I HATED Generation Terrorists at the time, but only very recently have oddly come around to it. . . a little too much filler though (including some of the singles).
The Jesus Lizard's Liar is a contender. It's not one of my favourite LPs, but it has been on heavy rotation since the 90s.
As has Daisy Chainsaws Debut. . . it seemed really fresh for several years, though I have recently fallen out of love with it for some reason.
I'll go with Jesus Lizard and Liar, as I still play that and it's got a nice punch and a cool cover. They were also the best live band around at the time.

spelling is overrated
I've been digging through some old records and there's a couple I don't think have been mentioned
Soichi Terada + Shinichiro Yokota – Far East Recording is really good
Brand New Heavies - Heavy Rhyme Experience Live funk with a host of at the time coming up US hip hop acts
Dream Frequency - One Nation is OK, but very much of its time
Terrace - Round Up has some high points, but like a lot of dance music I don't think albums are the best format or how it should be listened to

I had a casual attraction to acid jazz at this time and relistening to Galliano's A Joyful Noise Unto The Creator I can see why.

Galliano + Incognito better live than on record i think - recordings can sound too clean cut for me

I don't think I saw them this century. . . maybe once. 2009 sounds a bit late.
I know that when I used to watch them on every tour I wasn't particularly into the music, thought it was a bit jazz. . . but I did really enjoy the gigs.

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Not a genre I can claim to know a huge amount about, but looks like 1992 was one of the defining years for powerviolence, although there's not much you can vote for cos it was very much about 7" and EPs rather than albums.
Downsided by No Comment is pretty definitive:

definitely part of the fabric of 1992 - UK dub putting down new roots

Barry Adamson - Soul Murder
Utterly fascinating, idiosyncratic and wholly original. A soundtrack to a lost film or a film of a lost soundtrack?

Can't say I've listened to all of Muslimguaze's extensive discography but this is one of the better ones from the ones I have heard.

Couple of live albums of dancey stuff from 1992 I really love. These may have come up in the live album thread.
Banco De Gaia - Deep Live [at Club Dog, London] - he had three cassette albums out in 1992 but this by far the best, a fab collection of hypnotic dancefloor stompers.
This version on youtube is a pretty crap recording BTW.
N-Joi - Live in Manchester

Sorry missed this. It's a compilation, so no.

Release date was 11th Jan 1993. Might've been some white labels floating about in late '92. My favourite RDJ album. I'll definitely be voting for it in the '93 poll.
Holy fuck! I've just looked at how much the vinyl sells for on discogs. The cheapest copy is £158.94
