The The - how does Matt Johnson stack up?

[Stig O'Hara]

Sorted through a few previous albums,
c90s, and updated/downloaded to cd,
and a lot of The The stuff is still pretty cool.

This bloke i think was a huge talent,
and created some seminal pieces,
remember when Infected was an MTV staple.

In the Bragg status as an 80-90s social commentator.

Soul Mining, Infected, Dusk all still bear a listen.
Sometimes naiive lyrically,
made some great music

Thoughts?

 

[Kooley]

got all his albums

soul mining and infected are among my all time favorites.

'this is the day', 'sweet bird of truth' and 'slow train to dawn' my fav songs.

I loved "Soul Mining" and "Infected". Couldn't wait for Mind Bomb (Johnson AND Marr how good is that I thought). Bought it the week it was released. Played it once. Then played it again and then promptly gave it away to my little brother. What a load of crap! Have to admit that turned me off any future releases and I haven't listened to anything after. Any recommendations on what CD would be worth getting for someone wanting to discover some of his later work.
