Your music

I was bored to tears with the Chameleons, but maybe you’re onto something - their albums go on forever with no change in style. Maybe I’d like them better in bite size doses.

Stand! is unnecessary when Greatest Hits exists. We’ve discussed this before.

I rate the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Psychedelic Furs albums about evenly. Those later ones are too airbrushed but still full of really good 80s pop songs. The debut has a great sound and roaring drive, but like a lot of punk debuts lacks memorable songs, with a few exceptions. No love for “We Love You”? That’s the best track! The 5th one has one cool track, “Heartbreak Beat”, and after that....not much else in their career worth bothering with.
