Will never be crap.

Inspired me to quit being a fimnerd and be a drummer again.

Bump.

Someone certainly thinks they are crap (I can't imagine who or why, unless you take Blue into consideration, which was a serious disappointment), don't they?

I think "Blue" was just sort of an excuse to hang out with Andy Gill and fulfill their contract w/ Capital.

amazing

Their live shows... the word towering comes to mind.

Why'd we vote on this?

Someone just broke their perfect Not Crap rating.

Ok, who here is fucking deaf and voted Crap?

OK, OK.... I did it.... I couldn't help myself...

I mean, they were running away with it. Sorry.

I am not fully qualified to even vote on this one, truth be told. But people I trust and admire have touted this band as the greatest thing on god's earth for a long, long time. And for whatever reason, I never got it.

So, as a peace offering, I will try once again: I will buy a JL record. Now: which one?

Alright,

Mr. King

Goat before all others. If you're not swayed by the first four tracks, then nothing on any other JL record is going to convert you. Down is a close second. I like Show a lot, not everyone does.

The JL represented an era and a genre in an unparalleled manner. If you dislike them, you pretty much have to dislike about fiftyother former and current bands as a result.

the 2 percent voting for crap must be peed upon

You ass... There is no reason on God's green earth that this band deserves to have its perfect not crap rating tainted, except maybe for releasing BLUE. Even with BLUE, TJL is so far more not crap than crap that it is absolutely ridiculous. TJL defines what "not crap" means.
