Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 20/04/2026#5debutalbums7579 I haven't seen this classic suggested yet. It's got So Lonely, Roxanne and Can't Stand Losing You on, for a start! New wave/reggae mash-up present and correct. 010
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 04/03/2026#5debutalbums8589 If you've never heard this criminally underrated quirky eclectic album, feel free to give it a go It's Immaterial - Life's Hard and then you Die (1986) 041
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 19/02/2026#5debutalbums0509 This folk-prog-psychedelic rock band from Sweden are, in short, amazing. Start with Deportation Day. The Amazing - S/T (2009) 010
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 16/02/2026#5debutalbums0509 couple of suggestions from me - precocious youngster with guitar and beats, and cricket-themed cleverness from Neil Hannon and Thomas Walsh. 021
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 27/10/2025#5debutalbums1014 It's not groundbreaking perhaps, but what a voice. London Grammar - If You Wait (2013) 081
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 27/10/2025#5debutalbums1014 Debut solo album from Sigur Ros frontman. Very pretty. Jonsi - Go (2010) 021
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 27/10/2025#5debutalbums1014 Saw them on Jools and they blew me away. Trancier New Order. Delphic - Acolyte (2010) 151
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 18/10/2025#5debutalbums8084 It's raw, but worth a listen as the debut of one of the 80s' most quintessential bands. Cocteau Twins - Garlands (1982) 161
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 09/10/2025#5debutalbums8084 The Bard of Barking seemed to emerge fully formed on this debut, back when we had proper independent labels, and an angry young man with an electric guitar and a way with words could get a record deal. 'I am the milkman of human kindness, I will leave an extra pint' 2231
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 07/10/2025#5debutalbums8084 Eclipsed by what they did later, but there is still much to enjoy on here, as they explored the synth-pop zeitgeist. Won't make my 5 though. Talk Talk - The Party's Over (1982) 0121
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 15/09/2025#5DebutAlbums0004 Don't forget this little gem. Valerie came later but the sound was fully formed here, and draws you in from the opening bars of Zuton Fever. 091
Michael Street @mikeslittlelife.bsky.social · 22/07/2025I confess I had never heard a whole Stereolab album before today. It was excellent. Where have I been all their life? 000
