I'll struggle with #5debutalbums8084 I think. At least I don't expect to have a deep shortlist. This period is a bit of a gap for me...REM, The Feelies, The Bunnymen...seem like certainties already. Need to listen to the Violent Femmes and Replacements again...

Hi Rich, my #5debutalbums0004

1. Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Out of Season
2. The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts
3. Stephen Malkmus - S/T
4. Broadcast - The Noise Made By People

Castaways and Cutouts by The Decemberists

The Coral's (S/T) first album.

Hi Rich, I like this idea. It's an interesting challenge, I think. Longevity is going to be the key criteria, I think. Looking forward to getting into this! Cheers, and thanks!

Well done Cork. The tension at the end of the 70 then again at the 90. Immense. Penalties a fitting end. Brilliant match.
