Best debut albums

I dunno, 22 years has allowed me a bit of objectivity on this one and in my world it has been demoted to the ranks of the merely good. All that heady scent of youth dipped in acid and mdma has definitely kept it in the upper echelons for far too long.


See also anything by the Happy Mondays (actually an even bigger drop to 'mostly irritating with a couple of passably catchy tunes').

You could apply that analogy to the Floyd* album too.

Both albums very much captured the zeitgeist.


*Floyd night on BBC4 the other night was very good.

Appetite for destruction - GNR


August & everything after - Counting Crows


Hot Fuss - The Killers (this one fades after about track 6, but the first few tunes are good enough to keep it up there IMO).


Twelve Stops and Home - The Feeling (Great pop/rock album, but everything I've heard of them since has been rubbish)

I could except I was born a couple of years afterwards.

I was specifically referring to my own relationship with Stone Roses, what I was up to and the hazy days of coming of age that are now steeped in nostalgia for me.


It doesn't undermine how critical that album was in terms of my development and relationship with music.

It's just it's now long enough away for me to also be more objective about the songs themselves and I don't think they live up to the pedestal on which they've been placed (in my head) for so long.


Weirdly enough I fell in love with Saucerful when I was only about 12 and too young to understand what it was all about, but just loved the music!


*and I too enjoyed Floyd night :)

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
