Interesting how some bands can be babb for 90% of their existence, and then produce one nugget of gold. Some of those bands above I love, some just had a fleeting moment for me.
It stuns me how people never mention Strangeways Here We Come. For me - and both Morrissey and Marr - it is by far and away their best work yet nobody ever mentions it. I dont like the whacky ones on Queen Is Dead, like Vicar In A Tutu or Frankly Mr Shankly.
Strangeways is definitely their best album from a lyrical and technical standpoint. Meat is Murder is a good album, but the title song really weakens it. My personal fave is either Queen Is Dead or a bootleg called Unreleased Demos and Instrumentals.
Fair point. I'm not removing those 2, as I do love them, but will add Strangeways. You're right, it's excellent.
1. Parallel lines - blondie 2. Never mind the bollocks - sex pistols 3. Arrival - abba 4. Rumours - fleetwood mac for me these albums shaped my musical tastes .. for my sins
people have different opinions. More people like 'The Queen is dead' than 'Strangeways' Nobody is right or wrong. Just opinions.
Well, he never released an album but one of my favourite singles is Don French's 'Lonely Saturday Night' [video=youtube;mJ3jxiiU-og]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ3jxiiU-og[/video]
