Placebo - s/t
It didn't quite make my top 5 in the 95 to 99 round but I do think its a great record. It was a big album in my first year at uni so there's a bit of nostalgia here though I think it holds up well and is one I've gone back to many times over the years.

The Wonder Stuff - The Eight Legged Groove Machine
Not overly familiar with The Wonder Stuff, really only their collab with Reeves & Mortimer. Quite enjoying this though.

Pretenders - s/t
I didn't vote for this earlier but maybe should have. It's had a couple of plays today and is a really solid record. Definitely more than just the core singles.

Rain Parade - Emergency Third Rail Power Trip
I haven't been listening to this for too long having discovered this in a previous music round. It's mighty good but unlikely to make my top 5 .

Royksopp - Melody A.M.
One of the first records that the wife and I bonded over. Has some good memories. A fighting chance of making my top 5.

I haven't paid too much attention to this debut in the past but seeing Split Enz recently has made me revisit quite a bit of the Split Enz and Crowded House catalogue. Great mature songwriting with some classics thrown in.

My New Band Believe - s/t
New project from Black Midi bassist Cameron Picton. Not a huge Black Midi fan tbh but I'm enjoying this and going back for another listen.

Friko - Where We've Been, Where We Go from Here
It was a first listen at the start of the week and its been on rotation since then. A solid indie rock album.
