#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Suede - s/t My no 2 pick in the 90 to 94 round. This is a phenomenal album but I'm really not sure I have room for it in my top 5 this time. Some tough decisions at some stage.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists It's got some great tracks including the fantastic Motorcycle Emptiness. Probably could have been a few tracks shorter.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Accompaniment for the dog walk this morning. In the year after it came out, the sound of Alanis drove me crazy. It was only in the early 00s, I was able to appreciate the album for the classic it is. A chance of making my top 5.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying 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.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying 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.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #musicchallenge 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.
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying 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 .
#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Sleepy Jackson - Lovers This was my no 1 pick in the 00-04 round. An album that deserves more praise.
#5DebutAlbumsSF2 #nowplaying 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.
#5DebutAlbumsSF2 #nowplaying The Band - Music From Big Pink Made it into my top 5 in the 50s60s round. Unlikely to have room for it this time around.
#5DebutAlbumsSF2 #musicchallenge Father John Misty - Fear Fun My 5th place in the 10-14 round. I really like this one. Probably my favourite of his.
#5DebutAlbumsSF2 #musicchallenge It's meant a lot over the years. May be a contender for me. Keane - Hopes And Fears
#5DebutAlbumsSF2 #musicchallenge 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.
#5DebutAlbums2026 #nowplaying 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.
#5DebutAlbums2026 #nowplaying 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.
#5DebutAlbums2026 #nowplaying Blondshell - s/t Quite liking this. Definitely a hint of 90s alternative rock to it.
#5DebutAlbums2026 #nowplaying Snowcaps - s/t Enjoying this debut from sisters, Katie (Waxahatchee) and Allison Crutchfield. I think they've performed together before but not under the Snocaps name so hopefully meets the rules.
#5DebutAlbums2026 English Teacher - This Could Be Texas My fave album from 2024. I expect this will be top 5 for me.
#5debutalbums9599 #nowplaying Embrace - The Good Will Out I was a big fan of this when it came out. Had some big anthems sitting somewhere between Oasis and Urban Hymns era The Verve. Quite enjoying the relisten.
#5debutalbums9599 #nowplaying Foo Fighters - s/t Dave Grohl does a Phil Collins and embarks on becoming an elder statesmen of Rock!
