[kj] Your Favourite KJ albums in order

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Interesting about KJ 80.  I think in my case it's just that I've heard it played to death live, which I guess you haven't, Brendan ;-)


But I agree that it's amazing... especially if you include Change and Pssyche.

What Per skrev, pretty much (Pandy & Extremities higher up)
 
How the flip did no one else come up with Killing Joke as the best album?  What do I pay you guys for?!

off the cuff..............
 
1. Democracy - this was the one where KJ became a band that I loved as opposed to a band I'd heard and quite liked. It was the guitar that really got me Thanks for lending it to me Mike :o)
2. Whats THIS for - timeless classic
3. KJ 1980 - ditto
4. KJ 2003 - a mix of good and less good, but when its good.............
5. Ha!
6. Extremities  
7. Absolute Dissent
8. MMXXII 
9. Night Time
10. Pandaemonium - I played this to death when I got it, but I don't feel the need to listen to it now. Apart from Exorcism, which remains jaw droppingly powerful.    
11. BTATS - I so LOATHE that shiny glossy 1980s prodution and was never able to get past it, until recently - there are some good songs on there 
12. OTG - mainly because My love of this Land is one of my favourite songs (KJ or otherwise) - there are a few other moments too
13. Fire Dances - not bad but nothing stands out for me either  
14. Revelations - never liked it. Sorry. I've tried but I just don't get it - for me it plods when it should grind - what am I missing?
15. Hosannas - awful production, the songs are waaay too long. Jaz' voice is fucked. I can't listen to it. Wretched.
 
An album featuring all the Malicious Damage stuff compiled on Chaos for Breakfast would have featured inthe top 2 or 3
