A Jon S-SUPER POST-The Jesus and Mary Chain

(scott) Oh, hell yes, an old favorite of mine.....haven't even went through it yet, so I may have some stuff to
add later, but when we summarize the bands of the 80's, THE CHAIN has to come out near the top.......their unique combination of squalling Velvet Underground-style feedback and sludge guitar, blended with those Beach Boys type harmonies, made for one of the most identifiable sounds in rock.......great albums here, great live shows, and I'll do my own inventory and see it I have anything to add (It's possible)......

This is yet another of the well done, comprehensive, and so incredibly valuable to the readers posts that comes from Jon S, when he puts one together, NO ONE can contend with him.......SOOOO many great posts, and this is simply another one!

Like the band's obnoxious followers used to chant in the 1980's, "HEY, Man, NOBODY touches THE CHAIN!")........some fab stuff here, I will say that this was a band with some really BAD material as well, so pick and choose......."Psychocandy" (especially) and "Honey's Dead" are good starting points, but there really IS a LOT of great material here!
