Love "New Rose", but can't quite...you know...get it up, I guess, for "Teenage Kicks". Likewise. I probably enjoy Damned Damned Damned more now than I did when I bought it, but aside from the two singles that isn't saying a lot. I love Machine Gun Etiquette more now than I did when I bought it, and I loved it then. The Black Album has some great stuff, too. After that, I tune out.

I'll give a listen and report back. But I know I've always loved. "Fan Club." And the Naz Nomad stuff was a fun alter ego.

And the Naz Nomad stuff was a fun alter ego. Give Daddy The Knife, Cindy ? Loved it. And I always thought it suffered being in the shadow of the XTC side-project (although I think The Damned's was all covers....)

Would love to defend Music For Pleasure, but it's just sonically a bit wimpy, particularly by comparison to the ones before and after. "Don't Cry Wolf" is great, and I like a few others, but overall it just lacks a little, as C would say, oofness.
Plus I'm probably holding Lords of the New Church (who I find dull) against him, but I can't escape the notion that Mr. James wasn't exactly rich in new ideas. I think they got more interesting after he left.
Listening on...

Probably because I've been listening to them for two days straight and this thread came up, I've been prattling on about them at home. My wife wasn't familiar so I played a track and she didn't say anything whatsoever about it. I live in an echo chamber. Thank God for Preludin!
