I loved the Stranglers back in the day but can't listen to them now.

This cover never gets old tho eh H?

Also illustrates perfectly why The Stranglers were considered Entry Level Punk for punks older brothers who read Melody Maker and who would really far rather be listening to The Doors. They could even play their instruments and everything.

At risk of offending HWT again, I'll go with The Stranglers' No More Heroes

Admittedly done some average stuff in the 80's

But their first 4 albums are all Stonkers

Lies! Seabird is an absolute banger.

Could be abit controversial here

London Calling

Loved the Clash,well first album anyway and was fortunate to see them live and they were brilliant

But the London Calling album was a big disappointment for me,granted not terrible,but apart from London Calling which is a great song,the album goes downhill fast after that

The Final Cut by Pink Floyd. As a Floyd fan this album is a travesty, Roger Waters disappearing up his arse with a selection of cast-offs that didn't make it onto The Wall and virtually no input from the rest of the band. It was the end of the Floyd as we knew them.

And amidst all that is Not Now John, with one of Gilmour's finest solos

Agreed, although I was a massive Floyd fan until the Wall which I really didn’t like at all, apart from Comfortably Numb which was stunning. All downhill from there.

And strangely one of the few songs released as a 12" single which is shorter than the album version, as the single edit of the song was used as the A side on both the 7" and 12" releases

Pablo Honey by Radiohead is an awful album apart from Creep.

Anyone can play guitar is pretty good

Second Coming - Stone Roses, absolute turd after one of the finest debut albums of all time.

Except for this, can only presume it didn't make the cut for the first album?

Only in comparison with the first album. I don't mind it and still listen to it occasionally. Although Ten Storey Lovesong is good I think Tears was better and Tightrope, Begging You, Your Star Will Shine and Love Spreads are all decent tunes. I quite like like the first side with breaking into Heaven and Driving South too.

All about opinions though I suppose.

I don't think I've played Primal Screams Screamadelica follow up since it first came out

Well give it another go then. There's some great tunes on that much maligned album.

To reverse the thread on albums with no duff tracks this one will probably need more thinking about. but as a start

The Clash - Cut The Crap

Effectively one album too many, and all but disowned by the band, but it does have This is England on it, the rest is best forgotten about

Agree, it's a dog of an album. It wasn't really The Clash, though, was it? They were never going to be the same band without Mick Jones.

Having seen them live many times I couldn't believe how shit they were live after that album. They were like a crappy tribute band.

OK Two tracks then.
I had forgotten about seabird.
It's been years since I last plated it.

I like the whole album the album, I understand it's not to everyone's taste, but Brand new Cadillac, Train in vain & Guns of Brixton are 3 of my favourite Clash songs.

London calling probably would have made a fantastic single album, as Sandinista would have been an exceptional double album.
IMO like.

No, leave it as a double album. Absolutely brilliant throughout in my opinion. (And yes, HWT, I include Jimmy Jazz, Clampdown and Death or Glory).

Billboards Album of the 80s despite being released in December 1979

Warner Edwards · Jan 28, 2019

Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Krytonite. One good song in Two Princes. The album was so bad it was the first (and I think only) one i took back to the shop to try and get my money back.

It's next to impossible to follow a classic but ok, I will dig it out, dust it down and give it a spin.

Can't think of any tbh .... although I did buy Lady Gaga's Born This Way CD for 99p in a charity shop and I only like that one song

It was rumoured at the time that The Clash released a double and a triple album in order to get out of their six album deal with CBS as early as possible. Maybe true, maybe not. A related rumour says they failed to realise that double and triple albums only count as single albums for contract purposes. Major schoolboy error if true.

BadFish · Jan 29, 2019

Was it give it but don't give up or something like that.

I enjoyed that album, Cry Myself Blind rings a bell.
