    No way, both are great songs.

    How did you hear it first?

    I bought the LP when it was released, played it twice every night while cramming for my Leaving Cert and a couple of months later got a copy of the CD with the extra tracks so I could listen to them before my favourite ever gig

    The two of them always felt out of place for that reason.

    Sly and The Family Stone - Stand
    The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
    Cymande - Cymande
    Oasis - First two albums

    Bob Dylan -Highway 61 Revisted (arguably there's one bad song, the rest is 10/10)

    Edit: can't believe I forgot to mention The Pogues, not a dud to be heard until their fourth album.

    I'm pretty sure Counting Crows never wrote a good song.

    George Orwell predicted in Nineteen Eighty-Four that music would be written by computers, we're nearly there.

    Rattle And Hum is utter shyte, an embarrassment to all concerned. If they could erase that period of their career, they would.

    Some good ones mentioned already, but not this :

    Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
    An absolute classic, compulsory listening.

    Sonic Youth - Goo
    Some regard this as a sell out just because it was their first major label album. It's more accessible than most of their work and they made low budget videos for each track with unknown directors like Spike Jonze :)

    Nirvana - Bleach. Their best work.

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?

    If find that to be one of the better tracks on the album. It is an exemplar of traditional slide blues. I prefer it over Celebration Day and Friends anyway.



    Led Zeppelin IV is pure perfection though. The Battle of Evermore was one of the first tracks that got me hooked on Zeppelin.

    I met a guy in the mid-90s who proudly told me he "never bought albums on major labels". He had a beard.

    Goo is great; saw them on the tour with Teenage Fanclub. £6 a ticket; someone paid £70 outside McGonagles. Shocking.

    Daydream Nation is good but I prefer Sister and EVOL from that era.
    I bought EVOL and Now 7 at the same time in 1986 and will never forget the record shop guy's look of approval followed by disgust and contempt. That was the point where I decided that music snobs were d*ckheads.

    It seems mad nowadays but I hadn't even heard about the McGonagles gig until it was sold out, was raging.

    I saw them in the Top Hat in '91, tickets had gone up to £8 :), bought upstairs in HMV in their original location on Grafton St. Some unknown called Kurt Cobain had to hump his own amp onto stage before playing support :) about two weeks later, Nevermind came out.

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,663 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    I remember the HMV ticket concession place. The Top Hat & Sir Henry's gigs are seminal - I managed to miss out. The Nevermind buzz was massive. Every house party I went to in Dublin in autumn / winter 1991 had it on the stereo. And Screamdelica after 2.00am.

    Invaders is generally acknowledged as a **** song, Gangland isn't much better. Oddly they left a far better track from those sessions off the album for those two turkeys. Their debut is the one album they released that was all killer no filler.

    And while I'm at it, Disintegration has a few ropey moments. Pornography was The Cures one album without a single duff track

    Hopefully someones mentioned London Calling by now.

    I think Killers is better than the debut. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son next.

    What are Disintegration’s ropey moments (I posted above that the two extra tracks don’t work for me, interested to see what yours are)

    Pornography brilliant aside from the title track. The Head On The Door (my first) is remarkably consistent too

    Killers is my personal favourite but theres some fillers on there, unlike the first album

    Last dance is very average IMO, actually my attention usually wanders around halfway through Closedown and perks up a bit for Lovesong and disappears for Last Dance. the bonus tracks are so-so. I really like Pirate Ships from the Disintegration sessions,
