The Blue Hour is going closer and closer to the top spot for me, too. In my heart, Dog Man Star will always be number one, but that album summed up how I felt/saw the world as a teenager: The Blue Hour captures my thoughts and feelings as an adult.
Another great video Colin 👍I’m going to wheel out that cliché - ‘you deserve wayyy more followers’ To this teenager, when Suede cane along they were a shotgun marriage of my two favourite artists, Prince and the Smiths, with side helpings of Adam and the Ants, The Sex Pistols, and the New York Dolls. Basically, the band I’d been waiting for all my life at this point. And, yes, Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust (the song) crunchy guitars and Tony Newley vocal style that no-one was using in ‘92. Later on, ‘Trash’ had a bit of ‘Heroes’ to it, to my ears. I thought ‘Savoir Faire’ was a nod to Prince’s ‘7’, in the same way ‘you’re filthy cute and baby you know it’ was Prince teasing about T-Rex. Anyway, will continue to work my way through your vids. I’m entertained, goddammit!
Good ranking I have never listened to head music or a new morning ..everything will flow I really like though. Agree that dog man star is the best and blue hour is second. Would have the new album joint third though with the debut I like every song on the new album.
My personal ranking is as follows (fav to less fav): Dog Man Star Suede (1993) Sci-Fi Lullabies (super hard to choose between "Suede" and this album) Autofiction Head Music Coming Up The Blue Hour Bloodsports Night Thoughts and, of course, Meat Is Murder. Have I missed anything?
I'm interested to know if you prefer A New Morning to any of those there. Nowhere near as dreadful as they pretend, lacks the (imho) poor choices of Bloodsports, but just not gonna compete
@@csurname I do, admittedly, consider A New Morning my least favourite. Perhaps it is because the band were in a creative rut and would break up soon afterwards, or because the album diverges from the melodic, "glammier" songs to which I'm attracted.
@@csurname I'd imagine most Suede songs would be total bangers live regardless of how they sound on the albums. They're incredible live. Why oughtn't they play Metal Mickey and Beautiful Loser too close together?

I used to buy Suede singles in the 90’s just for the b-sides.

Dunno if you know my specific history with Suede, findable on this channel (though I will have alluded in this video)
@@csurname I don’t, which vids should I look at?
@@swirlingfudge I made a video called 'The Insatiables', an element of which Suede saw and alluded to in a live performance
@@csurname excellent 😃 I just saw your video, funny as hell. Must have been a surreal moment
1) Dog Man Star 2) Suede 3) Coming Up 4) Autofiction 5) Bloodsports 6) Night Thoughts 7) The blue hour 8) A New Morning 9) Head Music
respectable ranking
True
Am I crazy or you mentioned Red Flag the band while discussing Head Music??
You're crazy. Did I refer to "red flags", like, warning signs?
Oh ok! Loved your review.
BTW, Red Flag is an AMAZING band.
Please check albums like Fear of a Red Planet, The Bitter End, Eagle and Child…❤

Have I missed anything?
I am ambivalent about my placement of "Coming Up". Aw well.

@@gretagreebling I'd welcome Beautiful Loser live, though they'd have to not play Metal Mickey too soon before or after

They're incredible live.
Why oughtn't they play Metal Mickey and Beautiful Loser too close together?
