Sadly, you're wrong on both counts. 'After the Goldrush' came out before 'Harvest', and I would guess there was a couple of earlier ones too.Quote:

Yes, although some songs are actually quite good even (I'll Be Your Mirror somehow floats my boat a lot, despite the fact that the vocals could have been better)Quote:

I am also honest enough to admit that my favourite band Echo & The Bunnymen would have probably never sounded they way they sound if it wasn't for the inspiration they gor from Lou Reed and The Doors.
As for The Smiths: legendary band with one of the most brilliant lyricists of all time. The more I hear their music, the more great I seem to find it. Such a shame that stubbornness will probably always prevend them from regrouping. Mike Joyce now selling Smiths memorabilia on eBay without asking Moz and Marr, will also not really benefit the slim chances of a Smiths reunion.
Definitely needs to be mentioned indeed.Quote:

Gerrit, I agree with you about the Smiths, but, and without taking sides, it's a little more than mere stubbornness that's preventing them from reforming:
Morrissey statement
Pat O', This is your bloody valentine was released a couple of years before loveless.
Good God, that Mr. Joyce likes his money :eek:Quote:

Is Come on Pilgrim officially an e.p., and Surfer Rosa their debut.
Either way, the Pixies debut is quite good.
NeilMcD, Fuzzy was one of my college-years albums. I havent heard it in a long time. Must dig it out.
one more:
Inspiral Carpets - Life
Though I stand over my contention that the Housemartins London Nil Hull Four is the finest debut ever by anyone ....I'll chuck in The Wonderstuffs Eight Legged Groove Machine and Teenage Fanclubs Bandwagonesque for an honourable mention.
I hate to seem like I'm coming on here correcting everyone, but I thought you, Lionel, would be well aware of A Catholic Education.
