Your favourite The The album...

Are you actually upset because I said your favourite band is shit? Are we 16 again?

Sorry for derailing the The The thread btw.

I've got Soul Mining somewhere, it's ok. Not heard much else. Infected I'd probably recognise if I heard it.

You got ‘the’ three times in a row so you win.

No. Because you didn't say they were shit. (Neither did I say they're my favourite band, though they're a big fave.)

I really dig the 12" version of Soul Mining. Would dance to this.

I love Soul Mining / Infected / Mind Bomb / Dogs Of Lust - a superb ten-year run, with each album having its own personality and style, but all anchored by Johnson's constant themes and musical calling cards. Evocative of a certain kind of 80s music, that you could imagine playing behind a chapter in a book by a teenaged Bret Easton Ellis about horrific people, or else scoring a montage sequence in a Molly Ringwald film.

I also really like his more recent soundtrack work (Tony and Hyena particularly) and the Radio Cinéola stuff. I just like his groove.

Anyway - back to The The.

I saw blur at glastonbury in 94 and they were very good indeed.

Mind Bomb would be my fave, although I was quite passionate about Infected back in the day. Soul Mining next, then Dusk. I have a soft spot for the Hank Williams oddity as well. Not familiar with his later stuff.

I haven't listened to Burning Blue Soul in years, mind. Could be up for a personal reappraisal.
