I fancy buying a Jesus and Mary Chain CD, but can't decide which.

Psychocandy!!!!

Psychocandy's considered their essential album. Definitely the one you should start with to understand what JAMC are all about. I have Psychocandy and Automatic, which I also think is very good, and I want Darklands and Honey's Dead.

It's not worth going against the grain in this instance. Psychocandy, then Barbed Wire Kisses.

It's almost... shudder... a concensus ladies and gentlemen.

candymoan · 06.19.2006, 10:39 AM

i'd say "barbed wire kisses" as that was the first JAMC album i got..
it gives you a refined idea of what they're all about, plus you get the covers and rare songs that made the b-sides, so the album provides you with additional insight..
next stop will be "psychocandy", "automatic" and "darklands"...
preferably in that order..

have fun, man.. the mary chain is something else..

candymoan · 06.19.2006, 10:42 AM

and this is a unique opportunity for me to disagree with glice..

i say "additional insight," and glice says "conformity"...
heh..!

Candymoan, you're wrong, but you're sweet. But don't ever disagree with me again, because I am always right. And I have large genitals.

EMMAh · 06.19.2006, 11:13 AM

Psychocandy

LittlePuppetBoy · 06.19.2006, 11:29 AM

Psychocandy....but that's the only one I own

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.19.2006, 12:03 PM

psychocandy or barbed wire kisses, purely for their version of mushroom by can

Hip Priest · 06.19.2006, 01:15 PM

Um, well...

I would always maintain that Psychocandy fully justifies the huge near-legendary reputation that has developed around it; there isn't a single wasted second on the entire LP. Wonderful noise, with beautifully simple pop songs underneath.

21 Singles is very nice to have: JAMC were a great singles band right up 'till the end (check out single no. 20, 'Cracking Up', if you don't believe me!).

But I have to say that if you're looking for something that represents the band best, I do think that Automatic perfectly bridges the gap between what they were and what they were to become, aswell as being a tip-top-cool LP in it's own right.

So there.

Love.

I love Psychocandy. Revolutionary album. I personally started out with the videos 85-89, and the first time I saw the video for Never Understand (from Psychocandy) I was blown away.

I only have Psychocandy and it's GREAT. Buy it!
