I study sex, evolution & genes. Frequently all three. I also love music, food & dogs. Other interests include bikes (pedals & motors), books & travel. I’m paleo-adjacent. See #johnsvinyl @discogs: john-logsdon **ALL OPINIONS STATED ARE MINE ALONE**

I need to have that in #johnsvjnyl (have it in #johnsCDs). I think I’ll use this as an excuse to grab a copy.

Among the hardest hitting first minute of any album! Love this debut from 1983 and I still play it frequently. #5debutalbums8084 #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Next up for #5debutalbums8084 is this 1983 slab. I haven’t listened to this in a long time. Best known for their version of Iko-Iko, but a fun listen throughout. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

First up tonight for #5debutalbums8084 is this gothic cornerstone from 1980. A contender. It’s usually not my favorite album of theirs, but it definitely sets the tone. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

I’m gonna try. I might have to skip a few. 😆 I will hang my head in shame if I don’t have all of the top 20.

Yes. I know the next two records best and less so the following three. I don’t know the most recent 4 at all. (Adding them to my list…).

This one is a serious contender for me. I saw them in a tiny venue on their US tour for this album. I have loved them ever since.

It will be a while for me to reach the Ts, but this is a likely lock for me.

“The Nobel Committee has been unable to contact one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, Fred Ramsdell, who is reportedly ‘living his best life’on an off-the-grid hiking trip, said a spokesperson from his San Francisco-based lab, Sonoma Biotherapeutics.”
Screenshot of a post with the quoted texta above, and below is a Nobel Prize-style caricatured portrait of new laureate Fred Ramsdell superimposed on a black and white image of a hiker in the wilderness, with the headline “Nobel committee unable to reach medicine laureate ‘living his best life’ on hiking trip”

Toni had two albums. Another in 1983. This is according to Wikipedia, which btw, is a highly accurate resource these days. In areas of my personal expertise (I am a university prof) it is almost always correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_Ba...

Next up for #5debutalbums8084. If you think that “Hey Micky!” Is the only thing here, you’d be wrong. Devo guys show up on three songs! This 1981 debut is pretty fun. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

80s pop rock sounds good on this 1984 debut for #5debutalbums8084 This album was mostly overlooked until they hit gold on their next album with Manic Monday. But this is a great record before that. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Moving into the Bs for #5debutalbums8084 with this pioneering 1982 punk album. I never had this record (or cassette tape, as it was originally released on) in the day; I came to know about it much later. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

This self-titled 1983 supergroup debut still hits hard. Overproduced? Perhaps. But I still enjoy it. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Still in the As for #5debutalbums8084 This 1984 debut was a serious eye-opener, along with the totally strange videos of “Close (to the Edit)”. A mark in time, but still fun to listen. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

A one-off record, but a 1984 debut nonetheless. #5debutalbums8084. Produced by #Prince so it’s pretty good, even beyond “Sex Shooter”. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Yep. And I’ve added another 3 today that I had forgotten about. The 80s are my major thing.
