Beefheart was high my list, saying that I could have voted for all the nominated albums, apart from the Cssh I own them all.

Virgin Prunes - If I Die, I Die

I could have been really mean and gone for Hérésie, released as a double 10 inch box set in the same year. I went to London especially to buy it when it came out. The live version of Rhetoric is incredible, but not for the faint hearted.

Fear not, I've got you covered. :)

Despite Combat Rock probably being my least favourite Clash album (if you ignore Cut The Crap) it's nevertheless still an excellent, solid 8/10 record for me

Hey Johnboy,

Good shout with Pornography :ok:

Great album, I went to see them on the Pornography tour at Newcastle City Hall. Also saw them at the same venue for the Faith tour. Both shows we're brilliant 😊
