What Makes a Man Start Fires? is my favourite, but Double Nickels is also really great! Pretty much everything they did is great. One of my all-time favorites. I think those 2 are most likely their best 2.

Well, I think 3-Way Tie is quite poor album comparing those others. Haven´t listened it as much as those others, have to give it a try some of these days.

Never liked Swans, prefer their tourpartner from eighties, Sonic Youth. I started to listen Voivod, when somebody said our band sounded like it. I think the most common thing was we both loved Pink Floyd. Album that they released then was "Nothingface", it´s still my favourite. I had then heard before their four earlier albums, one of my friend give me a cassettes where they were, but they were so poorly recorded that I really hadn´t got any picture of their music and didn´t listen them much. Now it has been great to listen also those early albums, I have got Dimension Hatröss and Rrroooaaarrr myself a long, but haven´t got those two others.

Gentle Giant - In a Glass House

Simon & Garfunkel: Bookends

Can - Soundtracks
Hawkwind - In Search of Space
Focus - In and Out of Focus
Eloy - Metromania
Can - Tago Mago

Again it was my first listen of that album! I had listen Damned a lot in my youth, but this and Machine Gun Etiquette were the albums I hadn´t listened until recently, loved both! I think my favourite is at the moment the Black Album, I really love also one side epic Curtain Call although I think it has got much negative opinions. Haven´t also heard their after "Anything"-albums, going to listen them too.

curtain Call may be the track that truly got me to love the band. Bridging punk, psych, and prog, there weren’t many bands doing that. Have you ever heard any of Captain Sensible’s solo albums? Very new wave pop but with a strong tendency towards epic psychedelia on occasion (Revolution Now and Meathead are recommended albums).

Hell yes

I think I have listen only one of their album, I think I liked it, but it didn´t woke my interest enough to listen them more. About noise, are you aware of excellent Sperm Shh! heinäsirkat- album? oh yeah Dead C is one of my favorite currently active groups. I do not know Sperm but I remember you mentioned them before. I will def ck em out.

Can`t say the whole album noise, anyway it´s very experimental and interesting. And Korvapoliklinikka Hesperia is really one of the earliest true guitar based noise classic!

Haven´t listened it as much as those others, have to give it a try some of these days. in retrospect, 3-Way Tie is hurt by its weak production, but as a fan at the time, I saw it as them branching out and expanding their sound. I’d just seen them live (opening for REM in ‘85) and after investigating their albums (the live show was a bit strange to my young ears) they’d become my favorite band in a short amount of time. Then D Boon died and it was all over. I’m still upset about that. I met Mike Watt a few years later and we shared a tear or two over D Boon. The guy was his best friend. What a sad tale.

Really great you have seen them! I am quite recent fan, I think I started listen them maybe 2013 or 2014. I think 3-Way Tie material is much more weaker than those others. Do you like fIREHOUSE? What I´ve heard from them it hadn´t woke my interest.
