That line made me smile and almost cry at the same time. The whole piece by @camsell59.bsky.social was a wonderful blend of poignancy and humour.

Could probably come up with several fabulous five permutations between now and Sunday lunchtime. But I'll commit to this #5albums80sfinal selection now
1 Aztec Camera - High Land Hard Rain
2 Smiths - Queen Is Dead
3 Stone Roses
4 Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
5 The Jam - Sound Affects

Well that'll do nicely for starters, Stephen!

Amazing work Richard. Going to be ridiculously difficult to pare this down to a top five, but will have a lot of very enjoyable listening to do with this list between now and Friday 13th (and beyond)

Nice to know another blue sky thinker is here!

Hi Richard. another great list, like it's 4 predecessors, #5albums80s5 has so many forgotten gems and undiscovered LPs too. For me it's 1 Jam - sound affects, 2 New Order - lowlife, 3 Triffids - born Sandy Devotional, 4 Tears for Fears - the hurting, 5 Housemartins -London 0 Hull 4

Delgados - pull the wires from the wall
