Agree it's better than Loveless.
Love it, ta.
Just watched the film for the first time. Thanks -- amazing stuff. In 2001-02 I lived about two minutes' walk from where it was filmed.
Dre has a few questions to answer i.m.o.
People go on about Rakim Allah and here's why:

Talk about pioneering. It would be good if Eric B. actually were president.
Eric B. & Rakim, 'My Melody' from Paid in Full (1987)
Exactly!
Not such an indie kid as I was in the late 80s but this one from '86/'87 holds up brilliantly.

Happy Mondays, 'Weekend S' from Squirrel and G Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) (1987)
Check Paul Ryder's bass work🙏
👍Yeah I know that's the rated one by Stetsasonic but there's great use of the Roland TR-808 plus scratching by the mighty Prince Paul on this one, as well as lots of other fun stuff.
Good shout, Graham. Wore this one out (on cassette! -- driving my Mini 1000) in 1989-90.
Total classic.
Many of the heavy hitters in #5debutalbums8589 have paled for me thanks to over-listening so I'm going to seek out some I've not heard before. Like this:

Stetsasonic, 'My Rhyme' from On Fire (1986).
Knew of them in the late '80s but never really heard their stuff.
Absolutely love that album and 'Life'.
Been listening to this today and it's total class. Those beats go hard.
It's just so good.
I don't love it either, although it was big when I was in my late teens at the time it came out!
On a hip-hop tip, I'd add Long Live the Kane and Straight Outta Compton.
Soooo good.
Great list, thanks 👌
Jealous!
Top 5 for the whole decade in my view. Still sounds fresh as a daisy.
Loved this so much when it came out.

I'm starting here.

Public Enemy, 'You Gonna Get Yours' from Yo! Bum Rush the Show (1987)
Life-changing like few other albums, for me.
Yep.
Ooooh, this is gonna be fun. My first years of full-on record buying :) thanks for compiling the list for 2005-09, Rich.
Always looked out for the Lesney toy car factory when I was in the back of my dad's car on the way back from London in the 70s.
MIA -- yes!
Great to see M.I.A. in there.
Great to see Art Brut at no. 1. My no. 2.
Matched your #1. What a wonderful album that is.
Good to see a band named after something in a DeLillo novel. Cheers, Earl.
