If Music Could Talk

Solid Gold is awesome though. I often think of it as more industrial sounding than the debut, kind of in the same way that Closer is moreso than Unknown Pleasures. Not as in "industrial music," but more the mood or driving pulse.

Either way, it's a rad as hell album. I like it a lot.

Addendum: This category is too hard.

I think I prefer SG to E! because I like the drums more and it's less “rock” and more idiosyncratic. Very much a 1 and 1a thing, but I for significance and impact, it has to be E!

Rum, Sodomy - The Pogues
GEER
A Quick One - The Who
Small Faces - Small Faces (Immediate version)
SLF - Nobody's Heroes (.Side two is weak in parts but side one plays like a "best of")

No order other than how they emerged from my brain.

PiL - Metal Box
Gang of Four - Solid Gold
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Pixies - Doolittle
Wire - Chairs Missing

Blimey, Solid Gold must be good if it is much better than Entertainment. I'd better give it a listen.

Wait, do these have to be better than the first album or just really fucking good second albums? I went with the latter assumption. All my picks still work, tho the Go4 is a bit of a stretch.

Edit: Why is the quoting fucked up?

I thought it was the former, but not to worry either way, seems like I have a new album to explore.

Secondhand Daylight - Magazine
Hypnotised - The Undertones
10, Upping St. - Big Audio Dynamite
Plastic Letters - Blondie
Grin and Bear It - The Ruts
Cool For Cats - Squeeze
No More Heroes - The Stranglers
Wha'ppen? - The Beat
Love Bites - Buzzcocks
Heaven Up Here - Echo & the Bunnymen
Valley of the Dolls - Generation X
Too Much To Soon - New York Dolls
Darklands - The Jesus and Mary Chain
Pretenders II - The Pretenders
The Raw & the Cooked - Fine Young Cannibals
Fun House - The Stooges
Small Faces - Small Faces (Immeadiate)
Reckoning - R.E.M.
Regatta De Blanc - The Police
Gun-Shy - The Screaming Blue Messiahs

I thought I already posted this

1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2) Pogues - Rum Sodomy and the Lash
3) Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions...
4) Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters
5) GEER

It's Heston's thread I was only ever incumbent. I'll take the ban and look forward to receiving more. As for shame I feel nothing.

A little punk rock nihilism. I respect that.

I agree with this.
