You can sort see this as the place anything sounding like the S*x P*stols sounded a bit cheesy.

Like this. Still fun though. rock

Like one of those pitiful tracks off of Never Let me Down.

5: Nobody's Business.

More Steve Joneishness.

Who is playing guitar on this?

by Guest Mon Aug 03, 2020 9:16 pm

Steve Stevens

dunno

He'a good, but a little flavourless. Session guy I guess,

It is over.

The thing that struck me was how much sparser and more controlled it was than Rock of that era usually was. On the one hand, that was good because it meant it avoided the excesses of the genre. On the other hand, it all felt a little too sparse and controlled to really ignite. Anyway, the 2nd half of it was better than the 1st.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall vote when StevieBachyButtonBaby has finished, so as not to risk subliminally influencing his listening experience.

Going for the Adam and the Ants Market.

by Guest Mon Aug 03, 2020 9:18 pm

Too sophisticated for Adam the Ants, they were more, real, man.

by Guest Mon Aug 03, 2020 9:18 pm

I must admit this is a much better album, that I was expecting.
