No offense to Stephen Street – he’s a great producer – but imagine how much better the album would have been if Andy Partridge had stuck around.

I hate the fact that “Naked” gets so little respect. The first half of that album, in my opinion, is dynamite. Side two is kind of bland, although I love “Facts of Life.” Stylistically, it’s probably more interesting that anything they had done since “Remain in Light” and is an interesting peek at Byrne’s rising solo career. “True Stories” should be at the bottom. “Love for Sale” and “Puzzlin’ Evidence” are terrific, but that’s where it ends for me. Just sayin.’

Was he driving DALI’S CAR?

I realize that this is all just a matter of opinion, and everyone’s favorite top ten is different, but…out of ten songs, TWO of them from “Join Us” seems odd.

I’m not a fan of the “best songs” list. The “Worst to Best Albums” is much more fun and seems to generate more productive bickering. Plus, a lot of the bands you profile are more album-oriented.

When is Bob Mould *not* awesome? God, I love that guy.

Thanks, Stereogum! For a minute there, I forgot he was a singer and not just a whiny complainer.

Looks like we posted our replies at the same time.

Uh, what I meant to say was “It’s Hard” above “Who Are You?”
