Kate Bush - Kick Inside - Moving. Singing Whales start an extraordinary album:

Wally - Wally - The Martyr. First heard this in a record shop and was so entranced I bought the album. Don't regret it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kORiKtd88E0
Dire Straits - Dire Straits - Down to the Waterline. This album set the tone for their demise as a musical force to my ears! They couldn't better it.

Not a great Elton John fan but Funeral for a Friend/Love lies Bleeding takes some beating in my opinion.

Think you’ve been playing Sound Affects the wrong way round Elwa - Dreamtime is side 2, track1. Pretty Green wouldn’t be a bad shout though…elwaclaret wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 8:32 pmStone Roses - I wanna be adored
Madness - One Step Beyond
The Jam - Dream Time
Personally I’d go for the Clash, London Calling.

Another vote for Sometimes, by the stranglers.
Opening line on opening song - 'someday I'm gonna smack your face'.....

Quite right, at least it proves I have the album rather than the CD not played it for year though tbh.scouseclaret wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 11:44 amThink you’ve been playing Sound Affects the wrong way round Elwa - Dreamtime is side 2, track1. Pretty Green wouldn’t be a bad shout though…

Not sure if this has been mentioned or I missed it. But
Club Foot from Kasabian's self titled debut album is a great tune. And one of the very best live bands I have seen whilst Tom was still front man. Not so sure without him...

Re: Track 1, side 1, 1st album...best opener
Lots of great shouts on here (and lots of great shouts for non debut albums too ) u2, kasabian, the music, Stone roses, Dylan, white lies, many more too
Here are a couple I don't thi k have been posted
Script for a Jester's Tear from the same titled debut of Marillion - melodic, bittersweet and punchy
Once from Ten by Pearl Jam - hits like a hammer and sets the tone for the whole album.
Twice As Hard from Shake Yoir Money Maker by The Black Crowes - dialling back the years but with a 'modern' twist.

Not their first album, but a great song. Quite possibly the most underrated English guitarist ever.Quicknick wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 9:35 amBe Bop Deluxe: 'Stage Whispers', 1st track on 'Futurama', for me Be Bop's best album.

Re: Track 1, side 1, 1st album...best opener
I didn't read that bit . 'Axe Victim' was the first album, but his record label put pressure on him to get rid of the musicians and find some better ones, and the ones he found were absolutely brilliant, with Nelson himself being, as you say, probably the most underrated guitarist ever. Although other musicians rated him very highly.dougcollins wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 6:02 pmNot their first album, but a great song. Quite possibly the most underrated English guitarist ever.
