Stick to the first, transcendent album if you don't know their stuff. It transformed the UK music scene after a terrible few years. The 2nd, The Second Coming, is mostly poor, and the bootlegs aren't worth getting because Ian Brown can't sing (and, it turns out, write music on his own). Despite being overplayed at every indie disco ever, that first album still sends a rush of blood to the head.

Even I, man of culture, refinement and a certain aristocratic jer ner seh quah, owned this album.
I'm stunned. I thought you only listened to stuff by people who knitted their guitars from wool from between the Devil's hooves after they met him at an Alabaman crossroads at midnight…
The first album is my favourite album of all time, a true classic.
The second album had it's moments, but I agree with your assessment there Voley.
I love Second Coming. So problematic. I love it more than the first album.
Ian Brown can't sing? "In the misery dic-shion-ree-ee. Payge after payge after pay-ige" Saying Ian Brown can't sing is like saying Picasso can't paint.
