Mt. Misery, Once Home, No Longer (2021)
My most streamed album of ‘25. For two reasons: Firstly, it’s unavailable physically in any format 🤯
Secondly, it’s incredibly brilliant.

Nadine Shah, Filthy Underneath (2024)
Thoughts have turned to somehow ordering #AOTY25.
First up tonight, one of last year’s absolute finest. Long overdue a spin.

A couple of 50s beauts with the coffee this miserable, wet morning.

Eno, Here Come The Warm Jets (1973)
Just about fits my self imposed criteria. A strong contender.

Big Star, No 1 Record (1972)
Has to be in my five. A favourite for over 30 years and their best album imo. With such a long list of great albums, the debut being the artist’s best might be the defining criteria.

Steely Dan, Can’t Buy A Thrill (1972)
They became more cohesive and, for me sometimes better, but this is a technicolour debut chock full of brilliant songs.

Just fabulous. Though I do prefer Grevious Angel which means it’s an outsider for my five.

The Baby Huey Story, The Living Legend (1971)
Not sure I can quite commit to a cert in this field, but I’ll find it very hard to leave this out. Irrepressible.
