Well, here we go (or should I say, "Hey ho, let's go"). Just listen to the unmetionalbes--dozens and dozens of amazing songs, sloppy DIY punk ethic--maybe not the fun stage show of the Damned or even as tight, but superior music. Hopefully this won't start another War of 1812!

Nothing is great about Aural Sculpture but it is seen as a classic. Awful eighties production and some poor songs. That's when Cornwell should have left.

As for the Damned. They're bloody great! You're in danger of starting off "that" discussion again Greg. Just don't mention the R*m*nes. PLEASE!

What's so great about the Strangler's "Aural Sculpture"? It just sounds like lame synth-pop to me. It's such a change from their early stuff like "Nobody's Heroes". That group (like the Damned, another band I think is overrated) was never too popular in the US.

Someone has toI s'pose! It's the one so many people seem to dislike (well, at least until the later 80's LP's), but I've always had a soft spot for it. Didn't actually seem as good as I remembered it when I was playing the new CD I got, but still got some great moments. I think The Raven gets the tip for the top from me. Black & White and Rattus are also damn good though.
