I'll struggle with #5debutalbums8084 I think. At least I don't expect to have a deep shortlist. This period is a bit of a gap for me...REM, The Feelies, The Bunnymen...seem like certainties already. Need to listen to the Violent Femmes and Replacements again...

Hi Rich, I like this idea. It's an interesting challenge, I think. Longevity is going to be the key criteria, I think. Looking forward to getting into this! Cheers, and thanks!

Well done Cork. The tension at the end of the 70 then again at the 90. Immense. Penalties a fitting end. Brilliant match.

Bob Dylan performs The Pogues' 'A Rainy Night in Soho' live in Phoenix | Hotpress 'It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard,' one fan wrote online in response to Dylan's cover of the classic track.

I find A Rainy Night in Soho so beautiful/sad I can barely listen to it - I think Bob unexpectedly covering it might have floored me. www.hotpress.com/music/bob-dy...

This is a lovely bit of writing about a wonderful place.
I was at the first Pogues show last week and the look on Spider's face...the Barras was special to him. And Peter gets that, and captures it here in the details.
