It's the first impression you get of a band when you hear their debut album. It can grab you or you can go "meh".


What has grabbed you?


Being as it's the song that gave me the idea for the thread (think I've done this on facebook before, but don't THINK it's been done on here) I'll start with...



(best played loud)




Love the bass line.

Great track Otta but preferred 'All these things that I've done' & 'Mr Brightside' on that particular album.


Agree about first impressions grabbing you though. I think I was hooked after hearing one of their tracks on the radio before I even heard any of their albums.

Good point, well made. I was so desperate to get it in ther that I sort of forgot my own thread title.


And it was their debut for me. Own 2 or 3 others, but that's my favourite.

steveo....at last someone else who remembers/have heard of Montrose and not just the vocalist Sammy Hagar. Shame Ronnie Montrose died relatively young, but prostate cancer claims far to many.


Surely Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath has to be an all time candidate, setting the standard for most (all) that came after it in that genre

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
