Don't forget The Clash releasing Sandinista, about as popular as a fart in a wetsuit at the time. Hindsight has been a little kinder to it, being almost critically acclaimed now. A triple album must have stunk of prog rock excess to their loyal following, a brave move at the time for sure.

Some would say the Liars second They Were Wrong So We Drowned was a large diversion from the early post punk efforts of They Threw Us In A Trench.

The Stones - Satanic Majesties request was deffo a little bit of shit to be sure, well except for 2000 light years from home single.

Whilst not a radical change in direction, Bowie's 'David Live' is a stinker of a record. I guess the producers were reliant on Bowie's fans buying anything with his moniker on.
