Agreed, the only other band I’d consider at that level is The Beatles from 66-70



Personal impact I’d have to take Nirvana, singular albums possibly R.E.M but as a whole package I’m taking The Smiths.

Them IRS years + Automatic + Monster + E-Bow the Letter + Electrolite = Beatles tier.

‘Loved and lost

And some may say

When usually it's nothing

Surely you're happy

It should be this way

I said no

And then I shot myself’





Beautiful

Louder than Bombs > Hatful of Hollow. Excessive crossover between the tracklists but LTB has the edge. The only thing HOH really has going for it over LTB is How Soon Is Now, but it’s on certain tracklistd of Meat is Murder too, so you can be excused for entirely skipping HOH imho tbh.

Always forget TCM isn’t on every pressing of the debut given how much of a highlight it is. Regardless, I personally don’t really care for the way the Peel Session version on HOH pulls the tempo back, but I know a lot of people much prefer that version so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
