But I agree. Historically vital and some classic songs, but the extent of their catalogue dilutes matters significantly.

What a waste. Three men in a bath and not a single tub book between them.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: Bands that are...fine
Apologies to all but Big Audio Dynamite. They had some great, fun singles but I wouldn’t spin the whole disc. A big part for me is how poorly 1980s innovations have aged. This sound machine noodling isn’t really my thing.

Re: Bands that are...fine
Me too! There are some really great tunes. There also a lot of stuff that just plays like a Colecovision game soundtrack. I'd like to hear a lot of their catalog revisited and played with the straight bass, guitar and drums method.Wolter wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 2:18amI like about 30% of their discography a lot.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑02 Nov 2018, 7:47pmApologies to all but Big Audio Dynamite.

I think you’re giving them too much credit.
