I know them all but "Little head", and I agree "Bring the family" is probably his best album ever. I also own a few more : Perfectly good guitar, Beneath this gruff exterior, Stolen moments, Walk on.... But he did many more ! Riding With The King (the album), Slug Line, the best albums pre-Bring The Family, with some classic early Hiatt songs. The Tiki Bar Is Open, with the classic I'll Never Get Over You. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lampi Posted January 6 A great Side 1, and a not-so-great Side 2 (The Refugee is one of the worst songs U2 ever put on a regular studio album; I am also not a fan of the 'hymn', or 'spiritual', "40'"'). But Drowning Man is one of the most underrated U2 songs, a very beautiful song; and New Years Day still gives me shivers after all these years. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lampi Posted January 6 Morrissey & Marr both think this is the best Smiths album, not The Queen Is Dead. Well at least it is somewhat underrated; and Girlfriend In A Come and Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me are among the greatest Smiths songs. 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me'; how more 'Smiths' or 'Morrissey' can a song title be? (But 'Heaven Knows I Am Miserable Now', 'Never Had No One Ever', 'We Hate It When Our Friends Become Succesful' and 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want' all come pretty close too). And then there is Paint A Vulgar Picture: 'Re-issue! Re-package! Re-evaluate the songs"; which is exactly what happened to the Smiths catalogue after they split; and after that with Morrissey's solo work too (to the point of changing the tracklist and sequencing of the original album on a re-issue). But the music of The Smiths lives on forever. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember back when I had this on cassette, the entire album was on both sides so there wasn't really a side 1 or 2 for me, just the complete record. It would end and I'd flip the tape to play it again. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well shit I love the whole thing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the imposter Posted January 10 Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy James Posted January 10 I'm going to start with this one and maybe just go though the whole catalog before nights over. Very sad 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
