Just heard See Emily Play by Pink Floyd on t'wireless.
I think either them or Eric Clapton can lay claim to the most extreme swings of quality in a musical career.

Can any of you readers think of another artist or act with such dizzying highs and diarrhoea-inducing lows?

(apart from Fleetwood Mac)

Dr Hook
have ranged from some quite fun tunes (Cover Of The Rolling Stone) to some utter drivel (When You're In Love with a Beautiful Woman). not quite the same but the difference is annoying.

The Beatles.

Nah, theirs range from 'OK I suppose' to utter gay shite. Nothing more dramatic than that.

Most of the Beatles didn't even like that one.
Ringo walked out rather than play on it.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 10:53, Reply)

Tomorrow Never Knows and Helter Skelter are good,
Other than that I only like their early pop songs. If you ask me, Sgt Pepper is one of the worst 'psychedelic' albums of the time - 'Their Satanic Majesties' is much better if critically panned.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 10:55, Reply)

I don't mind Their Satanic Majesties
It may have been critically panned, but I find the Stones albums that the critics love to be mostly dull.

The Citadel is one of their best tunes ever.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 11:07, Reply)

Whereas most of something like Exile On Main St is tedious wank.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 11:12, Reply)

I was going to say John Lennon
His solo stuff was SO wank. He had like two decent songs.

If he did, he should have recorded them.

Hawkwind is a pretty gay name for a band
the should change to 'bird flatulence'
(quintsy, Fri 5 Oct 2012, 10:46, Reply)

The name comes from Nik Turner's persistent phlegm hawking and farting.
