Well, I didn’t want to be the one to say it but…
You got there before I did mate 
A few more…
No.760: “Screamadelica” by Primal Scream (1991)
One of the most famous of all the indie rave scene albums, Boddy Gillespie and his band struck gold eventually with this homage to all that was cool (or uncool?) about this era.
No.759: “Songs From Northern Britain” by Teenage Fanclub (1997)
Teenage Fanclub are one of those sideline indie bands who suffer from not really having an image, like The Doves and similar bands and they have a lead singer called Norman. What they make up for though is their music; jingly, jangly Byrds-like guitars and harmonies creating some lovely, summery sounds.
No.758: “Suicide” by Suicide (1977)
Suicide were New York duo Martin Rev and Alan Vega whose music centered around the doom-laden and very dark underground club scene of that era. Pioneers of the soon-to-surface ‘goth’ scene, this highly influential, dark and disturbing album is revered for by all those bands who appeared since including Bauhaus, Evanescence, The Mission and Siouxsie & The Banshees. Play it in the dark very loud through headphones.
No.757: “Plastic Letters” by Blondie (1977)
1997 again, New York again. This time it’s the second album from my teenage pin-up Debbie Harry and the very wonderful Blondie. This included their breakthrough hit ‘Denis’ and this follow-up:
Final one today…
No.756: “Cool For Cats” by Squeeze (1979)
Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook, Jools Holland et al with their wonderful pop album of songwriting genius. Cool For Cats spawned two No.2 hit singles, the title track shown here plus the brilliant follow-up Up The Junction.
All those images I was looking at for this brought back some memories of coloured vinyl singles.
Hi Floydy I also believe there should be a warning on this that if you suffer with fits be very careful.
I think the music of Dream Baby Dream is good but like many groups around I feel they waste all that effort of turning out a good song by muttering the words. I know like you say its a club/Goth scene thing but I can’t help wondering how many greats have gone unnoticed because of the mumbellers. (If thats a word)
Squeeze bloody brilliant band mate.
Labelled With Love
Cheers Longfellow 
There’s something very sinister about Alan Vega’s vocals but I do agree that they’re not the clearest tones. He sounds like Elvis tossing and turning in his sleep!
Yep, great band Squeeze. Cool For Cats is the only album in my list though, haven’t got anymore sadly.
Nice to hear Labelled With Love again. Not from that album but it shows the versatility of Diiford & Tilbrook’s songwriting. That’s a country song.
You know Floydy I have to compliment you on this thread.
The amount of different styled music’s I have listened to on this thread and also for dusting off a lot of old cobwebs on music I had forgotten.
If I had to compare I would say.
These past few weeks as been like eating sherbet fizzy powder.
Its waking up my brain cells.
Thanks for the compliment, Longfellow. It’s appreciated 
It surprised me when I was compiling it how many albums needed to be a top 1000 list. I had to miss many out, some on retrospect maybe should have stayed I the place of a few others…but never mind, most of the list turned pretty well as it was intended.
I enjoy posting the extracts as well. Sometimes there isn’t too much time, but it’s not a trawl and we’re a quarter of the way through almost, so we’re getting towards some real classic albums. All our tastes are different of course and that’s why it’s good to surprise people with those long lost records they had forgotten about. 
Very underwhelmed by Screamadelica at the time.A couple of good tracks lots of not much.Can’t listen to it all now.
With certain records of that late 80’s-early 90’s era it’s remembering where I was at a particular time, and this one reminds me of when I was in my ‘last days of going to nightclubs’ before I began to get sensible and calm down a little lol.
Same with Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses. Of all those bands I probably only have time for the Roses and some New Order stuff - they come later
I wanted to say so much about this album Floydy and the pic on the front. So many memories but I think I will just have a lie down instead. ;-)
I understand completely mate. Debbie Harry was probably my first crush. Those Smash Hits centrefolds on my bedroom wall when I was thirteen. Her and Kate Bush.
Three more Blondie albums still to come
Today we’re taking this down to the 3/4 mark with five albums…
No.755: “Into The Blues” by Joan Armatrading (2007)
Until I came across this album purely by chance, I wouldn’t have put Joan Armatrading down as a blues artist. But she delivers this stuff like the best of 'em. This is a live recording of a highlight from this superb release:
No.754: “North Marine Drive” by Ben Watt (1983)
Ben Watt, one half of Everything But The Girl and his debut solo album on Cherry Red from 1983. This continued his style of songwriting about personal places and people he knew. This song is a beautiful single from the album, whose title incidentally is named after the main promenade at Bridlington.
No.753: “The Whippoorwill” by Blackberry Smoke (2012)
Third album so far in the list from this Eagles-influenced country-blues rock band who are going down great guns all over the world at last (after eight albums). On my list as a must see live band.
No.752: “Mother Nature Calls” by Cast (1997)
Follow-up to their excellent debut (coming later), Scouse band cast were somewhat left in the sidelines of the 90’s indie scene while their contemporaries such as Oasis, Blue, Pulp and Suede were enjoying the high life. Great live, this band did actually achieve more top 10 hit singles than most of the others in their short career.
