This is such a great song. Everything about it hits me in the right place.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
One of my favourites
I wonder why this was never a single, I said this a while back, i think it has that same magical feel of E=mc2 and i really think it would have been a big hit if it was released. I know other 99 is a good track but i just think it has an acquired taste and was never going to do anything chart wise.

With the benefit of hindsight I think I can now declare Megatop Phoenix to be the best post-Clash album. Upping and Global round out the top 3.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Global can't take the top spot because it ends with 17 minutes of a song that the band did better elsewhere, so I can agree that Megatop as a piece, a singular listening experience, is the number one post-Clash album.

I see Megatop Phoenix as the B.A.D. equivalent of Sandinista! The more I play it the more I love it and the more I respect it.

Those are my favorite three on the album as well, along with Other 99.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Yeah, my second favourite BAD album. It would be number one if the production was better. So much better than the patchy (to me) Upping St.BitterTom wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 3:32pmFantastic album, my favourite in fact.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
I think Limbo and Hollywood are excellent. Dial is somewhat ruined by that daft off beat thing. Ticket is fun but lightweight and would've made a decent B-side.Heston wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 4:31pmLimbo the Law, Ticket, Hollywood Boulevard, Dial a Hit man..Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 4:10pmCan I ask what you find patchy on Upping St. ?Heston wrote: ↑14 Aug 2020, 3:45pmYeah, my second favourite BAD album.
