The Rolling Stones.
Muppet's either going to kill you or clutch his chest and collapse.

But I agree. Historically vital and some classic songs, but the extent of their catalogue dilutes matters significantly.
Well, they aren't a bathtub band, thats for sure.
That's for damned sure!

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!

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.

I like about 30% of their discography a lot.

But yeah.

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.

I think you’re giving them too much credit.

Also: maybe a little shorter on the song lengths.

The Pretenders.
Agreed. They have some wonderful songs, but I can't see myself listening to a whole album and thinking yeah that's the stuff.
