Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band 🖤 Liverpool Royal Court Throwing Muses 1989

🖤 My fifth and final choice #5debutalbums9094 is another release from the truly wonderful Tanya Donelly, one of my musical heroes 🖤 Belly - Star Full Moon, Empty Heart youtu.be/UI6mfhIjN04?...

Who are your top 10 all time favourite vocalists? For now, off the top of my head... Justin Sullivan Mark Chadwick Kristin Hersh Tanya Donelly Kim Deal Jo Bevan Björk Trent Reznor Eddie Vedder Robert Smith

🖤 4th on my list #5debutalbums9094 - I was so excited buying this record on the day of release, an unforgettable debut from Deal, Donelly and Albini 🖤 The Breeders - Pod Kim and Tanya combine their divine voices to sing about threesomes. But this song's more wholesome... youtu.be/9eFufqZ_wBI?...

Can't wait for this - in times like these, songs of solidarity and defiance bring vital hope and inspiration... 🖤 @joe-solo.bsky.social

🖤 Only two spaces left on my list #5debutalbums9094 and I am at a loss... How do I leave any of these out? 🖤 PJ Harvey - Dry Belly - Star The Sundays - Reading, Writing And Arithmetic The Breeders - Pod

🖤 You can never have too much hair or too many bass guitars... I saw them when I was 16 long before the debut was released and I have always loved this album. Third on my list #5debutalbums9094 🖤 Ned's Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder youtu.be/JmDlMYUarRA?...

🖤 If only these songs could one day become less relevant... Righteous anger delivered with raw passion from Zack backed by Tom's awesome guitar. Second on my list #5debutalbums9094 🖤 Rage Against The Machine What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy? youtu.be/JukTvlrh-Wk?...

🖤 Songs which transport me back to the days in the underpass, the happiest time of my life... This album is incredibly special to me and will come top on my list #5debutalbums9094 🖤 Levellers - A Weapon Called The Word Together All The Way youtu.be/WSF8d8-qZ_A?...

First thoughts #5debutalbums9094 - Levellers, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, PJ Harvey, The Breeders, Belly, Curve, The Sundays, Ride, The House Of Love, Rage Against The Machine, Sugar, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Portishead, Massive Attack and Rosetta Stone 🖤 A tough challenge @richards7370.bsky.social
