#9.Music For Pleasure - the Damned
released: 1977

one of my favorite Damned albums, i first experienced it on a cassette that was missing the last two songs because of a bad dub but hot damn did i enjoy what i had. it wasn't until the folks over at Digital Meltdown brought it back into my life with a real nice piece on it. a lot of my favorite Damned songs are on this record: 'Politics', 'Your Eyes', 'Cry Wolf' & 'You Know', not to mention the stand out tracks that are good regardless of what i think of them: 'Stretcher Case', 'One Way Love' & 'Problem Child' for example. there a many folks that would say the Damned have had some hits & misses throughout their career, but i can't really agree. while they may have dropped their 'punk' roots and moved into darker territory, i feel they still put the same amount of talent into everything they've done since their debut. well, except for Grave Disorder but i can excuse that.
