Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
One of my favourite albums of all time. Lyrically somewhere between Lord Byron and Lewis Carroll, while musically it effortlessly juggles chaos and structure. A fleeting moment where pop, noise, fantasy and instability harmonised.

The Velvet Underground - The VU & Nico
Can I quote Eno or has that by now become a hackneyed, cliched thing to do? Either way, few debuts had such an impact, influencing not just rock music, but art and culture in general.

🗣️ The Chameleons
💿 Script Of The Bridge
🎶 Don't Fall

An absolute pile-driver to kick off proceedings for one of post-punk's most underrated bands.

The entire record feels more like a greatest hits than a debut album; this kicks it all off.

💿 OK Computer
🎶 Subterranean Homesick Alien

A song about being taken by aliens that sounds exactly like that must feel.

Radiohead at their very (near)-best!

🗣️ Roxy Music
🎶 If There Is Something
🗓️ June 1972

No other humans were quite like Roxy Music when they took the music world by storm.

The entire debut is nothing short of sensational, but this life-encompassing song is tragic and euphoric in equal measure.

And it all sounds brilliant!

First heard it at 13, have loved this band ever since. While UK psychedelia was mostly playful & abstract, its American counterpart couldn’t avoid the fact that the country was tearing itself apart (plus ca change). The End feels like civilisation unraveling
