This group has incredible range, depth and skill. Much like another fav o' Mine Faith No More. I'm a bassist and no one's beeter than Simon Gallup. The man is destructive in his grooves.
A better poem has never been written than the lyrics to Homesick, with the most haunting piano and muted trumpet ever recorded IMO. They re-invented themselves in a wholly unexpected way with Purple Haze, something I hope HEndrix would be proud of.
The heart of these geniuses shows when there are no lyrics and the music flows. Disintegration, Homesick IOTWCS, Purple Haze, and play for today are songs actually LESSENED by vocals. As it is, these songs will play at the touch of a button on my tombstone.
An OK list, but here's how I see it (not in order)...
