On here, music mainly and a bit of sport. In real life I have a lovely wife and two great children to fit in too.
Indeed, they sounded like nothing else.

Great of course but my least favourite of their first four, even more so when considering Virginia Plain wasn't on the original album. Given that I'm picking Eno solo I will give this a miss and hope that others vote for it.

Small margins but just seemed a bit lightweight compared to my favourite albums by them.

There are possibly 5 albums I love more but this is a debut album in the truest sense, an artist arriving from nowhere and creating something incredible. For me that carries extra weight.

Unsurprisingly will be topping my list.

A certainty for me. I agree that an album being their best could be a factor in tight decisions but that won't apply here.

I played it earlier in the week and was slightly underwhelmed by it. Some great songs for sure but overall not quite as strong a contender as I thought it would be.

Hugely underrated album I think, a genuine contender for my top 5.

Played it yesterday. Lacks the wow factor to break into my top 5 but such an accomplished and brilliantly played album it was a pleasure to play it again.

Good point, there is at least one of their songs that I can remember.

That must put The Cribs third, sounds about right.

Won't make my top 5 but I've always had a soft spot for it.

Possibly my favourite album of all time so is a certainty to top my list.
