okay, but put a gun to my head? probably the wonderful and frightening world, prolly because it was really the first full album i got into back when it came out...still trying to find the peel mix of c.r.e.e.p...okay i haven't looked that hard, but it's the best one.
it would be a better world if the same attention endlessly lavished on, say, pet sounds, was spread like thick marmite on this nations saving grace.
long live the mighty fall!

it's really not a matter of opinion --it's a fact that if you don't dig the fall, well, you're really somehow...how you say....deficient.

I like the Fall, and I like Beat Happening.. and I like the former far more than the latter. And you do have a point, in relation to more mid 80s Fall, though I think there's still this question of ferocity and layers that Beat Happening don't have (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but certainly a crucial difference IMGO)

The best thing about this thread is how you know there's going to be a revive later saying 'ah, wait, I got it!'.

Btw, can anyone think of a best-of that puts its subject in a better possible light than 50,000 Fall fans?

I would happily shell out for a Fall boxset of Peel Sessions from then to now.

That makes for a curious x-post. "How nice for the Fall box!" "I TREMBLE IN MOCK TERROR!"

not many. ChangesOneBowie and Star Time are the immediate ones that come to mind--taking really good catalogues and trimming them down to blindsiding ones. I think JB and Bowie and the Fall are all terrific but there's lots of fat on all of them. (The Bowie is qualified by its coming out in 1976) -- Matos-Webster Dictionary (michaelangelomato...), January 28th, 2005.

Oh, I like the music; it's just that voice. For precisely the same reason, I can't listen to LCD Soundsystem, despite liking the music. Oh, and they're definitely overrated.
