#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying The Stone Roses - S/T This is the one...or is it?! I'm seriously struggling with a top 5 at this point.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying Arcade Fire - Funeral Didn't even make my top 5 in SF3 which seems harsh in hindsight. Funeral definitely had a massive impact on me and still gives me a rush every time I hear it.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Received my no 1 vote in its respective round, though its much more competitive this time. Always makes me think how great it would have been to see them live around this time.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #Nowplaying Big Star - #1 Record Really been enjoying Big Star's debut throughout this year.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops While not quite making my top 5 in its respective round, this still has a chance in the final.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying Pearl Jam - Ten One of only two albums in the Final that I voted as my no 1 in their respective rounds. There's certainly a bit of nostalgia about this one, but its genuinely stayed with me through the years and I've never grown tired of it.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted A new to me album. Admittedly the first time I heard about Pavement was the talk of them being an influence on Blur's self titled 1997 album. Didn't mind this but I think I prefer some of their later stuff.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal #NowPlaying The Smiths I voted for 9 albums that made it through to the final. Surprisingly this wasn't one of them as it's never really been one of my 'go to' Smiths albums. But its sounding great this morning and I may need to reasses what I do with it.

#livemusic #musicsky Belle & Sebastian at Enmore Theatre Only been 23 years since I last saw them! Super super gig.

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Damien Rice - O It's been a long time since I've listened to this, I suspect because some of the songs had become overplayed. Seemed to be a few that became synonymous with a certain type of movie at the time. It does actually sound really good though.

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Coldplay - Parachutes Slightly inseparable from what was going on in my life at the time...leaving Uni, first job etc. Some genuinely good stuff here as there was on a Rush of Blood.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Fleet Foxes - s/t My no 1 in the 05-09 round. Always a great listen and slightly nostalgic as well. This was on high rotation at the time my first son was born.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Idles - Brutalism My no 3 in the 15 to 19 round.

181

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Fiona Apple - Tidal Another one that was just outside my top 5 in the 95 to 99 round.

081

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Stereophonics - Word Gets Around This was just outside my top 5 in the 95 to 99 round but has another chance this time around. Always love the lyrics on this - full of small town tales and characters.

051

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying The Sundays - Reading, Writing & Arithmetic My no 3 in the 90 to 94 round. I really like this one. Definitely has a chance of making my top 5 this time.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm My 2nd place in the 05-09 round. Too early to say where I'll land this time around.

081

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 #NowPlaying The House Of Love - s/t I highly suspect this will make my top 5. A massively underrated band.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

#5debutalbumsSF3 #nowplaying Tears For Fears - The Hurting My no.4 pick in the 80-84 round. In my top 15 this round, but don't think it will make my 5.

020

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

#5debutalbumsSF3 Black Country, New Road - For The First Time My top pick in the 2020s round and probably my favourite new band of the last few years. Has a high chance of making my top 5 in this round as well.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

#5debutalbumsSF3 #nowplaying Oasis - Definitely Maybe Oasis hit at the right time for me, roughly around the age of 16..and they were everything..for a while at least. Seeing them live last year was a chance to relive those times. Sadly, I don't think it will make my top 5 this time.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying The Wedding Present - George Best A friend who pushed me to dive further into R.E.M. and The Smiths also suggested I listen to this. I wasn't quite sure about it at the time and tbh it still doesn't quite resonate though its always felt like something I should like.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Songs of Leonard Cohen My no 1 in the 50s60s round. Cohen has been a big influence on me over the years so this one has a fighting chance though certainly not a dead cert at this stage for my top 5.

081

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C. I'd forgotten how good this was until the 00-04 round. I should be listening to this more.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

#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.

081

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

#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 Suzanne Vega - s/t Helping to ease me into this Sunday morning.

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Arcade Fire - Funeral Still an exhilarating listen.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

#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.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

#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.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying The La's - s/t A good way to spend the train journey to work.

#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 .

081

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 #nowplaying Sleepy Jackson - Lovers This was my no 1 pick in the 00-04 round. An album that deserves more praise.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

#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.

091

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

#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 #nowplaying Anna Calvi - s/t My no 2 pick in the 10-14 round. This is great stuff.

DC @dstuclark.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

#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.
