Hurrah for The The - I'm sad that Johnny Marr didn't work more with Matt Johnson. This song is one of my favourites, partly because it concerns itself with the human condition and DOUBT in particular. Lovely, subtle guitar playing as well.

Good idea. Everybody loves to diss the popular music of the 1980s. But frankly there was some great material that came out. I happened to be living in Québec and was very, very busy at the time saving the world so I missed a lot good popular music from the English-speaking world. Nice to catch up here on RP. |

I think it would be cool to have a "Best of the 80s Repeated Name Triple Bill" with Duran Duran and Talk Talk. I'd go to that.

certainly one of the best albums of the 90's. Really took a lot of the drivel, OK experimentation, from the 80's and made it meaningful. Still one of my favorite albums in my collection, which stretches from the 60's to now.

Why is this sad? Do you know the family? |

It's sad to think that much of this album was influenced by the death of Matt Johnson's brother, but it's simply an amazing album end to end.

Mmmm, this vaguely reminds me of "Charlie" by Noir Désir. Can't say I care much for this song, though, it's musically too repetitive for my taste and the lyrics don't seem all that interesting either. I'll give it a three for the time being. |

Wow, this is what I call 'a perfect description in a few words'! |

I saw them maybe about 4 or 5 years ago touring smaller venues and they were great. During the show there was some girl talking and MJ stopped in the middle of the song and asked her if he was bothering her with his singing. Just a great show.
I've seen him 3 times, twice in small venues and once in a sizeable theater. 3 of the best shows I've ever seen. |

It's my opinion that your opinion is lacking. Everything he has ever released has been brilliant. |
