#albumoftheday #5debutalbumsSF3 The Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge (1983) Twin chorus-pedalled chiming guitars were the USP for this great post punk band. A major label push could've given them stardom or, perhaps, destroyed them. Who knows? Best track - Don't Fall #NowPlaying️ #VinylCommunity

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Songs Of Leonard Cohen (1967) Songs of venomous relationships with both friends and enemies. He brings his author's eye to the song's characters. His dry, flatlined voice is not to everyone's taste, but it fits perfectly here. #VinylCommunity

#5debutalbumsSF3 #albumoftheday The Psychedelic Furs - S/T (1980) This brings to mind staying in the 6th form common room rather than going to double physics. Pot Noodle for lunch. Jumpers for goalposts, hmm? Happy days! Still a mighty, mighty album. Best track - India #NowPlaying

#5debutalbumsSF3 Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (1969) This debut should have resulted in fame and fortune but passed by an indifferent public. How might his life have panned out if it sold well. Sublime folk rock balancing introspection and heart on his sleeve accessibility. #NowPlaying

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Sleepy Jackson - Lovers (2003) Debut from Australian indie veterans. Hints of Flaming Lips, George Harrison, and a host of other artist's artists. Nice harmony work, and they like a good 🎵na-na-na🎵 Nothing wrong with that. #NowPlaying

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Wonder Stuff - Eight Legged Groove Machine (1988) Top pop tunes with eviscerating lyrics. Bright and breezy career defining indie rock. Why don't I play this more often? #VinylCommunity

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 #albumoftheday Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979) The legend begins. Icy, claustrophobic, industrial post punk that changed how I felt about music. Best track - New Dawn Fades #NowPlaying

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 #albumoftheday Magazine - Real Life (1978) The band that illustrated that punk was a bright beginning and not a nihilistic end. Shot By Both Sides was the one 'punk' song allowed at the school disco. Best track - The Light Pours Out Of Me #VinylCommunity Strong contender.

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Who - My Generation (1965) This is a 1980 Virgin mod revival banwagon jumping reissue. A recent acquisition. In addition to two RnB covers, Townsend's songs uniquely blend Byrdsian melodies, Beatles level hooks, and crunching power chords from his throttled Rickenbacker.

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Pretenders - The Pretenders (1980) Arrived fully formed with this effortlessly cool, hard rocking, hook filled debut. It has aged incredibly well. The songs are full of brash yet sensual swagger. A real eye opener for this teenager. #VinylCommunity

#5debutalbumsSF3 Janelle Monáe - The Archandroid (2010) New to me following a recommendation on here. A sophisticated RnB concept album stretching over 70 minutes ranging from the funk of Tightrope to the bubbling, effervescent pop thrill of Wondaland via corale breather '57821'. #MusicSky

#5debutalbumsSF3 @wearedelasoul.com 3 Feet High And Rising (1989) The kings of the daisy age. Lose the game show interludes and this would be faultless. A positive counterbalance to Gangsta rap. New wave to PE's punk. Psychedelic subject matter as well ranging from squirrels to dandruff. #NowPlaying

Видео

#albumoftheday #5debutalbumsSF3 Gang Of Four - Entertainment! (1979) Brilliant! Andy Gill sounds like he's attacking his guitar with a cheese grater. Funky bass and drums keep things centred. Jon King tells it like it is. Best track - Not Great Men #NowPlaying

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 The Avalanches - Since I Left You (2001) With more samples than a deli cheese counter, this is as much a detective case as an album. It works so well though, you can't see the joins. Sampletastic dance tour de force. #MusicSky

Видео

#5debutalbumsSF3 Floating Points - Elaenia (2015) Free flowing, downtempo electronica that sweeps you along on a series of instrumentals. Reminds me of Faze Action and Cinematic Orchestra in places. Well worth the ride. #NowPlaying

Видео

#NowPlaying @paraorchestra.bsky.social Paraorchestra - Death Song Book (2024) Brett Anderson, Nadine Shah and Gwenno interpret death infused indie classics with ringmaster Charles Hazlewood. Brett sings The Bunnymen's Killing Moon - like seeing two old friends finally marry. #MusicSky

Видео

#NowPlaying The Orb - Orblivion (1997) sees the erstwhile spaced out U.F.O. watchers more Earthbound and downbeat. If you like The Orb this will be a blissed out hour well spent. I can't think they added many new fans though. Toxygene rocks. Listen through headphones for max pleasure. #MusicSky

Видео

#NowPlaying #albumoftheday New Order - Republic (1993) No argument, this is the best New Order album, now a third of a century old, it has stood the inexorable test of time. It's the definitive indie dance rock album. Utterly brilliant. Best track - Ruined In A Day #MusicSky

Видео

Having inexplicably missed the fact that Culture - Two Sevens Clash (1977) was a contender for #5debutalbumsSF2 I am putting that right today. This slice of sublime roots reggae would have been in my top 5 for sure. Hopefully it will get through and not miss my votes. #VinylCommunity

Видео

#NowPlaying @savagesband.bsky.social Savages - Adore Life (2016) There is no band in the world that I'd rather hear new music from than Savages. Punk attitude, post punk style and a mesmerising live presence. #VinylCommunity
