#5debutalbumsSF1 Portishead - Dummy (1994) A mesmerising, off-kilter daze of an album. For best track Roads alone this could be in my top 5. Still gets an absolute hammering nearly a third of a century later. Stunning, in the true sense of the word, trip hop album. #NowPIaying
#5debutalbumsSF1 Pale Saints - The Comforts Of Madness (1990) A hot 4AD property in 1990. It never quite happened for them. Their truncated legacy is this slice of dreamy, diaphanous ballads, and falsettoed rockier numbers. Best track - You Tear The World In Two #NowPlaying
#5debutalbumsSF1 Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material (1979) The ripples of punk rock took a while to reach Northern Ireland, but when they did they were tsunamis. Caustic, cathartic - the youth finally had a voice - an Alternative Ulster. Excellent. #VinylCommunity

#NowPlaying #5debutalbumsSF1 Gram Parsons - GP (1973) Country isn't my go-to genre, but then every genre has elite acts that cross over and resonate with all of us. The harmonies and songwriting are excellent here, and he adds blues and breezy soul touches to rise above the usual C&W dirge.

I'm going to check out some of these great recommendations when I get a spare day.
#5debutalbumsSF1 Doves - Lost Souls (2000) Opening with a 4 minute instrumental on your debut shows some creative cahunas. Huge, atmospheric and epic songs with a psychedelic twist. Doves are worth a revisit after I've neglected them for way too long. #NowPlaying
#5debutalbumsSF1 #albumoftheday DJ Shadow - Entroducing (1996) Woven from a thousand samples and the unlimited imagination of an utter genius. Innovative and unfollowable. So good I got the deluxe reissue. Best track - Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt #NowPlaying

#5debutalbumsSF1 #albumoftheday Guns 'N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987) Pros - fantastic dirty rock & roll with guitar pyrotechnics that make your neck hairs stand up. Cons - lyrics that make AC/DC look like nursery rhymes. Discuss. Best track - Sweet Child O' Mine #NowPlaying️
I've heard of Girls Against Boys, but the others are a mystery to me. Would you recommend any of these bands?

#5debutalbumsSF1 Bjork - Debut (1993) Bjork, freed of the constraints of an, albeit fascinating, rock band, spread her creative wings. With Nellee Hooper, she developed a fascinating & imaginative world, giving her extraordinary voice full rein. Still sounds otherworldly. #NowPlaying
