    Turn on the Bright Lights is a classic but I don't think they nosedived after. For one, 'Next Exit' is on the follow up album, "Antics"! The third album is hit and miss, fourth is dire and the fifth a real return to form.

    You're right, I mixed the albums up. I prefer Antics to totb lights. Must give El Pintor a listen, didn't when it came out.

    IF I had to take 1 album to a desert island it would be The The "Infected".

    Utter genius.

    Interesting choice.
    Used to love that album as a youth but have not listened to it in decades.

    I'd go with a few from each decade that I lived in and had an interest in music in.

    80s
    Infected - The The
    From Langley Park to Memphis - Prefab Sprout
    Graceland - Paul Simon.

    90s
    The Bends - Radiohead
    Ok Computer - Radiohead
    Different Class - Pulp
    Deserter's Songs - Mercury Rev
    Parklife - Blur

    00s
    Funeral - Arcade Fire
    Black holes and revelations - Muse
    Stop drop and roll - Foxboro Hot Tubs.

    I just stumbled upon this post and had a quick scan through the posts and don't think I saw Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers anywhere. Definitely a classic!

    Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Performance and Cocktail - Stereophonics
    .....Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age
    The Bends - Radiohead


    These would definitely be in my top 10, and probably as much as it pains me to say it, Parachutes by Coldplay!

    To be honest, I stopped checking out the website ages ago, as I gave up the ghost of there ever being another The The album.

    Matt Johnson seems to have written a couple of soundtracks in recent years, for films his brother did.

    Other than that, nothing.

    Luckily he left us with so much amazing music over the years.

    Don Quixote by Gordon lightfoot...a wonderful album from the early seventies.
    And I only found out today that his concert in Bord Gais Theatre on 1st June is sold out!
    Really disappointed about that. Would now even consider skulking around outside the venue on the night on the off-chance...

    I like a lot of the albums mentioned. Great to see FM mentioned a lot. I think if I had to pick one that changed what I liked when it was released it was secondintoughestintheinfants. Still a great album.
