I have a somewhat skewed view of quality
I adore Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and they were a fucking mess.

I like the 'idea' of JT & TH...
...a lot more than the insipid and badly-produced wankery of a sad declining junky. 'Chinese Rocks' was better by The Ramones and even Soft Cell improved on 'Born To Lose'.

And this is what I love about 'music talk'; I know I am 100% right and so do you - but even more truthful is that not many will have this sort of conversation about Paolo Nutini who is as wet as a kipper's bikini.

Edit -if that sounds self-righteous it is because I am totally fucking righteous about this.

The 'lost 77 mix'
of LAMF is a revelation. They were disgusted by how the LP sounded when it was released and the alternate mix on the above release is fucking marvellous, like it should have been.

The only thing Marc Almond has ever improved on is the world record for the most spunk ever consumed in one go.

As for liking 'the idea' of a band more than their actual records the classic for me is the Happy Mondays, who were fucking entertaining chaps apart from their actual tunes, which to my tastes, bar two or three tracks, were really pretty shit...
