Nail Soup

Again, worst is probably not the right word as they only had two albums really. I prefer My Bloody Valentine's first album "Isn't Anything" to the lauded second album "Loveless"

"Supposedly Worst Album" may not be quite the right description... but 'Third' by Portishead is their best album IMO although it is a departure from the 'trip-hop' sound for which they are acclaimed.

Sounds like a prompt for another similar thread..... bands whose supposed worst musician is actually the best (OK, OK, I know nobody says JPJ is not a good musician, but he is the least celebrated member of the band I think)

I think your point is the same as the author of that quote??? Sorry if I’m missing something.

A comment on the "if you read music then you not using emotions or expression" etc. BTW I can't read music, so I've no vested interest. I read an article in a musician magazine (may have been One-Two-Testing or something) and there was a comment: "Classical musicians use their emotions to express the music, and rock musicians use music to express their emotions". Or something like that!

I guess the poster who put Killing Joke, Mastodon and Voivoid as their top picks just forgot that they actually prefer Donald Fagen ?

So if JC’s voice was dropping, why did he want to *raise* the key?

Brilliant song, I was fortunate enough to see Robyn perform it recently.

From The Doors, it would have to be the debut album for me... that really is a stone-cold classic.

Heard this on 6music the others day.... Adam and the Ants - Animals and Men (Peel session version)

Same here.... take the album as a whole. It has to be far worse than filler to get skipped.

Seems like a few BCers there then! I was there courtesy of @upside downer …. Thanks again for the spare ticket! It was a fantastic gig…. Very good trip down JW’s musical and verbal flights of fancy👍. And a great (and loud) bass sound to boot!

True, he was a conscript not volunteer on bass.

Audio clip or it didn't happen 😀

IMO Beefheart had a resurgence in his last couple of years. I think a lot of fans agree.

That's cheating ! And while we're here... why are you dissing the bass player? 😉

If I have to commit to one perfect album, then no problem it's this one - The Fall, "Grotesque - After The Gramme"

I can't be the only one who feels like this, but there are some bands who, during a certain period, I was so totally 'bought into' I loved every track on those albums... even if there was the odd track that may not stand up alone. For example first 4 Stranglers albums, first 3 Ramones albums, first 3 Velvet Underground albums, first 10-odd years of Fall albums.

An album which springs to mind as an archetypal "All Killer" as generally considered (personally I love the album buts it's never going to make my top ten): Parallel Lines by Blondie Yielded a lot of singles for sure.

That's the best way to have a flawless career. Erm, ignoring The Great Rock and Roll Swindle of course...

Absolutely... no filler, sounds like a greatest hits.

Yes, I do hate it when I see an acoustic ensemble and the bassist is using an unamplified acoustic bass or bass Ukulele. Double bass sometimes ok Unamplified . Wish they would use a battery amp wether it’s an electric or acoustic bass instrument.

Great stuff once again and a worthy winner!

Remember, if you ever say that out loud it will be hilariously funny to emphasise the wrong syllables in the words "emphasis" and "syllables"
