I think you should listen to Oh Sweet Nuthin' again. |
Thanks, but I disagree. I've heard it plenty |
This. I've always felt Loaded was far too top-loaded, with the first 3 tracks all absolute zingers and the rest lightweight by comparison. In fact I've just dusted down my copy of it (crackles and all) and can confirm that Oh! Sweet Nuthin', whilst charming and a perfectly decent song by normal standards, isn't in the same league as anything from the first 3 albums to my ears at least. In fact I'd rather listen to Lonesome Cowboy Bill...
Nope, it's the 3rd LP for me. Love songs, a hymn, a murder mystery and Moe Tucker inventing twee. In truth though their first 3 albums are all Top 50 records any day of the week, especially on a Sunday morning.

That's understandable

I'll second that, even though I chose Loaded.
