Somehow I've always liked this song from one of their absolute worst albums:

yeah, damned damned damned is probably the best album to come out of the brit punk explosion, such amazing songwriting skills, raw power and sense of humor.

i also like the black album, so cheesy yet good, "curtain call" is an amazing song.

No love for "Strawberries"? That one's awesome I think.

agreed...they had ditched the punk sound of the 1st two records, but made some excellent pop music. 'life goes on' is immense.

i saw them only once, in '90 i think...they had both brian james and the captain in the lineup, and played two sets. i'd go see 'em again.

My band used to play Neat, Neat, Neat......I might actually have a digitalized version of us playing it live somewhere. Granted, it was from 1997ish.

The Black Album and Machine Gun Etiquette are by leaps and bounds my two favorites of theirs , and even two of my favorite albums of forever . I'm not too sure about their sound outside of these albums , it gets a little bouncy and predictable .
Nothing gets me going like Melody Lee or Therapy , or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . and the laughing song , oh man what a riot .

thats really all i have to say about the damned.

they werent/arent that bad...just never one of my fav. punk acts. i LIKED the misfits, alot, at one point (still occassionally bring out my mistifts albums cause it brings back fun memories). ive gotten way sick and tired of seeing that crimson ghost logo everywhere though. i dont know, they get repetitve after awhile. i could never hear any of those songs again and it wouldnt matter, cause like the ramones, all i gotta do is think about em and their songs will be playing in my head wether i want em too or not.

even now...human tounge touch aluminum plate, i wanna be sedated.

fuck i dont know.

what an incredible opinion

gmku	04.08.2008 07:56 AM

I share sway's ambivalence. I have both the debut and Machine Gun, and I want to like them more than I do. They are excellent albums but they just never quite fired my imagination the way other albums from that time and genre do.
