I listed Combat Rock as the Clash’s fifth album, not Sandinista. And we’ll have to disagree about the qualities of Sandinista. I think it’s a sprawling mess, with no focus and more experiments than actual songs. Combat Rock was a little better, but not all that great either.

Just wanted to take slight issue with you for characterizing Sandinista! as the Clash’s fifth album, when it was actually only their fourth proper album (Black Market Clash being a collection of b-sides).

However, I wanted to take *major* issue with your characterizing it as an album that “sucks”. The album is a damned classic, years ahead of its time, and I have to call into question the musical taste of anyone who thinks it outright sucks.

So, there.

And nyaah.

I submit that the Doors’ fifth album, Morrison Hotel, did not suck.

Diver Down is Van Halens best album as far as I’m concerned

The Beatles – Help. 41 weeks on the charts.

The Who – Who’s Next. Next!

The Allman Brothers Band – Brothers and Sisters. A classic.

Queen – Day at the Races. How can you go wrong with a song called Tie your Mother Down?

Peter Gabriel – So. Sledgehammer, Red Rain, In Your Eyes, Big Time, hell, the videos alone unsuck this one.

There are five no suck number fives.
