The sing God Gave Rock N Roll by Argent has some lyrics that are dreadful. They are: Don't step on snails, don't climb in trees Love Cliff Richard but please don't tease. Thankfully Kiss did the cover God Gave Rock N Roll II and changed the lyrics.

[@rocketpost1]

@@bobby666666 As you probably know, the song God Gave Rock And Roll To You was written by Russ Ballard who was a member of Argent at the time although some people mistakenly believed it was written by Kiss. I used to love this song and never even noticed those lyrics or that Kiss had changed them. The lyrics you mention are just silly I think but you may not know that Please Don't Tease was an early hit for Cliff maybe in 60/61 and I'm fairly sure it was the follow up to Travelling Light. So was my reply worth typing out, probably not.

Harsh on The Clash. Cut the Crap was more a Bernie Rhodes cash-in than an actual Clash album. I think your point about their much-vaunted “authenticity” is a fair one. Again, I have a feeling that was largely an invention of Bernie Rhodes. It’s significant that in the brief period they escaped from his control they made Sandinista! and were able to concentrate on being writers and musicians.

I shall watch this later, but before I do, "Two Virgins"... In 1988 I bought a copy out of Virgin in London - just out of curiousity. Played it once - I was not impressed. Fast forward 36 years, by which time I'd developed a penchant for Krautrock, early electronic music and some other vaguely "avant garde" type stuff. So, after spotting this video and seeing "Two Virgins" mentioned, I wonder if I might find it more interesting now that my ears are more attuned to the, erm, "experimental" side of music. So I gave it a spin again. It. Is. Pish. I have now moved on to " Unfinished Music #2 - Life with the Lions". It is not much better. Actually, the "Live in Cambridge" side would be vaguely interesting if it didn't have Yoko caterwauling all the way through.

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music has to be up there. I believe he contractually owed an album to RCA and threw out that POS. He had several really bad solo albums.

[@stuartfishman1044]

Definitely agree about Two Virgins, since the cover was far more notable for the people who plunked down their hard earned cash than the music itself. As for the Clash, they're my favorite band of all time. Their first four releases are all worth having. On Combat Rock, however, they start to lose it. Then Joe Strummer tries to reinvent the punk wheel with Cut The Crap, and he flatlines. Other than This Is England (which belongs in the Clash canon), nothing about the album is salvagable. At least Strummer had the Mescaleros to fall back on.
