I’m starting with a 3 but if the poll is open long enough I’ll try to go through some albums on Monday and may reassess

Oh and the updated playlist

  1. Parallel lines and lots of the other singles are amazing. Too much meh in the back catalogue for a 5

A 4 from me. Terrific singles band and I think it’s often understated how important a part they were of the late 70s New York scene that birthed punk. I’ve never delved particularly deep but maybe now is the time.

#8

Their best singles (and they have many) are up there with the very best pop music of all time.

Enough for a 5 on that alone.

3 for me. A couple of bangers but Parallel Lines is inconsistent and much of their catalogue is very weak

Parallel Lines is brilliant front to back and is endlessly playable. Only spent time with their first four albums. Always meant to give Autoamerican and The Hunter a go but just haven’t gotten round to it.

Parrelel Lines is a very good album, with anazing singles, but thats about it. Outside of that they range from eh to outright bad
