Quote Part Time James at 28 Jan 2015 2.38pm Quote Red-Blue-Yellow at 28 Jan 2015 2.37pm Stone Roses, 2nd dross compared to first. Black Sabbath...epic first album, the 2nd is the first played backwards and the rest just derivitive. There's also a shed load of bands with one excellent album but the others are saved by just one or two stand-out tracks...but that's a different topic. If you could have an album with 12 decent but non-anthemic tunes, or one with 3 epic anthems and 9 sh*te filler tunes on, what would you pick? I think i'd go for the latter. Bowie syndrome, except all 3 epic tunes would have been singles "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Coldplay's Parachutes is a good album, the rest of their stuff leaves me cold. And I see signs of half remembered days, I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

Blur. Blur: The best of is (IMO) their only great LP, the rest are a mixture of very good, meh and awful. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Talking of Blur, Parklife was brilliant but the others never really grabbed me. Pinch me, I'm dreaming, but if it is don't let me know.

The Wedding Present - George Best. I really really wanted to like the rest of their collection - but, for me, that remains there finest hour. You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

The Arctic Monkeys' first album was fantastic; second was meh; third was awful. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
