#5debutalbums8589 Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is (1986) This is so middle-of-the-road it should have a white line across the sleeve and roadkill in the run off grooves, but, there's no escaping the great classic pop rock songwriting. And that title track - wow! #VinylCommunity

#5debutalbums8589 The Stone Roses - S/T (1989) There are few things more intoxicating than a new band coming over as a gang (Clash/Oasis/early Smiths) and the Roses were in the right place with the right attitude to surf the zeitgeist. Hot take - Could do well - duh! #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity
