As Heavy Jelly once memorably sung, I keep singing the same old song...but for my money 'Music For Pleasure' is far and away The Damned's finest album - and one of THE most underrated and wrongly slagged albums in my collection. The two guitar line up of Brian Jones and Lu Edmonds works wonders and some of the riffs they turn out are simply magnificent - check out 'You Know', 'Idiot Box' and 'Your Eyes' for evidence, then groove to the totally manic 'Politics' with its mad time signature. Shit, I gotta play it now.
