Something with hardly a single song that falls into the 'filler' category so that I can listen to all of it comfortably.
Suggestions please.

So far I have downloaded Rubber Soul and Purple Rain. Thought about London Calling but not sure I could listen to that many Clash songs in a row.
Just have to let Josephine Baker Collection finish first, then on to Rubber Soul, I think.
Nail and head.
I could add
Orbital - Orbital II
Ice Cube - The Predator
Big Audio Dynamite - This is Big Audio Dynamite
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Röyksopp - Melody AM
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Wu Tang Clan - Enter 36 Chambers :jorge:
I could go on...
I watched a Sky Arts program on them just recently, inputs from various chancers plus Mick Jones plus Robin Banks.
They were a good band, one absolute classic album and 2-3 others good. The program was a little over the top all the same.
I could be mistaken but I think one contributor may have referred to them as the best, or most important, band ever.
:nod: Mick Jones' ego span completely out of control there. Not sure what drug he was taking that rendered his critical faculties inoperable while he was insisting on adding complete dross to what should have been a fine album, but I'm amazed that no-one was able to stop him.
Yeah, I'll admit that the hyperbole about them from punk-era cünts does probably poison my feelings about them. In fact, I strongly feel that the whole pùnk thing was a load of old böllocks and that, if they were a good band, The Clash would have been a much better band if they hadn't been hitched to the whole punk thing, which was all posturing nonsense.
Oh fúck it, any excuse really.

But like the other really really good punk-era band i just mentioned, they had both been doing their own thing for years, and just sped up what they were playing when punk came along.
Of course it depends what punk is defined as. For some it was posturing with safety pins, for others, playing at 100pmh. For me it was an energetic rebellion expressed through music.
