bosstrabs Love their Dream Police album.

Way of the World & Gonna raise Hell are great tracks.

    The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds. Well produced and some catchy pop, but never understood how it consistantly ranks so high in “best albums of all time” lists.

      U2 - War
      REM - Out of Time

      Both albums sold on a couple of great tracks

        Dry-Tinder Both albums sold on a couple of great tracks

        In the case of Out of Time, the singles (Radio Song, Shiny Happy People, Losing My Religion) all give me a fucking headache.

        I want to change my vote, Out of Time is an absolutely dogshit album.

        New Adventures in Hi-fi and Document are REM’s best.

            Not sure its overrated. It sold millions but I don’t know any REM fan who places it among their best. Murmur however…

              Fair point.

              In the 90s, I seem to remember everyone had it in their Ikea Benno CD racks, from your alternative university slags right up to your Def Leppard-loving uncle.

                  bosstrabs yup, I’d consider Automatic for the People to be far superior. Famously got a then record $80m multi album deal from Warner off the back of it and sales of subsequently went through the floor.

                    Automatic for the People was an excellent album, pretty much start to finish, but I never listen to it, again because of the singles - the ubiquity of Everybody Hurts and the tweeness of Nightswimming.

                      bosstrabs Kind of agree with that. Still love Drive and Man on the moon

                        As a Springsteen fan I’ve got to say that Born To Run is massively overrated! Only track I play off it is Tenth Avenue Freeze Out. He’s done so much better!
