Just a thought I had while listening to The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart’s first album earlier today. Kinda realized I tend to play the band’s first album the most and these 4 in my opinion are 10/10 the whole way through. I will say Lush and Alvvays are two bands that I personally feel they don’t have one bad track. There’s no particular order for the albums listed and I actually bet it would be fun hitting shuffle for the playlist. You might end up getting Ones Who Love You, into Scarlet, then something like FireSky which sounds pretty hot. Or maybe Smile Fade Fast, into Come Saturday, followed by Leaves Me Cold for my people who wanna feel that guitar rip. I’ll try and pick only one of my favorite tracks from the albums 🤙🏾

Alvvays by Alvvays - Red Planet (what a song and phenomenal way to end the album)

Gala by Lush - Breeze and De-luxe (the two tracks that got me hooked on Lush) 

Everything’s Alright Forever by The Boo Radleys - Does This Hurt? (they just sound  fucking cool and the band plays so well together it’s unbelievable, plus it’s loud as hell)

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - A Teenager in Love (the last 20 seconds kinda always destroy me haha) 

Which shoegaze band out of the 4 has the best first album? (Alvvays, Lush, The Boo Radleys, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart)
