Suede - Coming Up (1997)
I remember seeing Suede on TV whilst on holiday in Hastings around the time of the release of this album (Jools Holland if I remember) and was totally blown away.

One of the best British bands in recent history, lead singer Brett Anderson takes a big dollop of Bowie’s glam and mixes it with Morrisey’s glum. Astounding guitar playing and musicianship from Bernard Butler makes this record simply irresistible.
There’s not a weak song on the whole record, it’s just wall to wall brilliance.
Four excellent solo albums, and two recent comeback records, without Bernard Butler, prove that Mr. Anderson is a proper songwriter.
