Excellent stuff from Dave #Albumoftheweek

Dave: The Boy Who Played The Harp

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 5h

Got it down to seven… 😅
I’m assuming the original French release of Chaleur Humaine counts for #5debutalbums1014 @richards7370.bsky.social?

Home Again: Michael Kiwanuka
Inform - Educate - Entertain:
Public Service Broadcasting
If You Wait: London Grammar
Chaleur Humaine: Christine and the Queens
Blues Pills: Blues Pills
The Balcony: Catfish and the Bottlemen
The Weird And Wonderful Marmozets

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 9h

This one is likely to be in my #5debutalbums1014

About time we had a new Marmozets album tbh…

THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL MARMOZETS

Excellent stuff from Dave #Albumoftheweek

Dave: The Boy Who Played The Harp

“Morning Monday morning... Quite chuffed that I remain alive, 10 years on...” would fit perfectly…

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

I can claim Shirley Manson 😎

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

So we’re both I Got You Babe, but you’re Out Of Our Heads, while I’m Help!

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

Ha! 6 days older than me 😝

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

Was it the 26th?

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

My #5debutalbums8084 is
5pts: Script For A Jester’s Tear
- Marillion
4pts: The Hurting - Tears For Fears
3pts: Signing Off - UB40
2pts: Face Value - Phil Collins
+1pt: Diamond Life - Sade

Hopefully The Nightfly gets through without my help…

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 10d

This week it’s probably been this one… #Albumoftheweek

Bar Italia: Some Like It Hot

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 14d

A bit behind again but thought I should put this one by @warringtonruncorn.com up as last week’s #Albumoftheweek

Public Works and Utilities -
Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 14d

Around a dozen of them in the 345 new releases I’ve listened to so far this year - would recommend Geese and Wednesday.

Getting Killed by Geese

Bleeds by Wednesday

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 26d

There seems to be a good case for that. Mine were all ones I bought at the time that have stuck and although I like REM I didn’t buy Murmur. Sometimes wonder what proportion of the cooler choices are folk discovering back catalogues. I’m certain most voters are younger than me 👴🏻

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 26d

Murmur will walk it.
Not in my top 9, mind you.
Then again, none of your 20 are!
This is definitely an ‘enduring favourites’ vote…

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 27d

Let’s go with Ash for this week’s #Albumoftheweek - was never much of a fan but this gets good retro points…

Ash - Ad Astra album cover

Terry Beech @tezzabell.bsky.social · 28d

There are albums you listen to all the time and have done for 40-odd years, so let’s pretend I’ve put a proper long list together and played dozens of albums, finally getting it down to these nine that my #5debutalbums8084 were always going to come from… 😊

UB40 - Signing Off
Phil Collins - Face Value
Men At Work - Business As Usual
Michael McDonald - If That’s What It Takes
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
Tears For Fears - The Hurting
Marillion - Script For A Jester’s Tear
Sade - Diamond Life
Roger Hodgson - In The Eye Of The Storm

Liking half a dozen this week but Geese and Sprints stand out #Albumoftheweek
