Most of these are records I like (to some degree at least), but think are over-rated by the renumerated arbiters of rock hierarchy.

Pink Floyd – Dark Side Of The Moon
(Too much plastic sheen, and ‘Money’ is fucking horrible)

Television – Marquee Moon
(Too many longeurs)

The Sex Pistols – Never Mind The Bollocks…
(Stood for something at the time, but musically it’s pretty much rockabilly with the amps turned up)

Station To Station – Bowie
(Love the title track, but otherwise too many MOR tracks, and it doesn’t hang together very well as a whole.)

The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead
(I prefer ‘Strangeways Here We Come’. Much funnier and weirder)

Treasure – Cocteau Twins
(It all went too rococo coffee table at this point)

Pink Floyd – The Wall
(It amazes me that people still mistake the miserablism on this for profundity, when it’s actually cringeworthy self-indulgence)

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
(Don’t like the production on it, which is too self-consciously 'alienated' and think Closer was stratospherically better)

Kind Of Blue – Miles Davis
(Much prefer ‘In A Silent Way’ and ‘Bitches Brew’)

Ash Ra Tempel – Seven Up
(A waste of space, in all senses)
