Stan Schwieger replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"(Someday, I will get the track with correct album)....
A great summary and great defense.
I would agree on Trust, Imperial Bedroom, and lesser so, Blood and Chocolate. (I like Goodbye Cruel World pretty well.) Per your strong…"
Rashid Stephen Pettit replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Nope, Just About Glad is from the great (in my opinion, anyway) Brutal Youth.
Pre-Spike is the way to go with Costello. My ventures with Costello started with Armed Forces. I am not the world's biggest fan of My Aim Is True - there are no…"
Gail Manchester replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Bruce's Born in the USA feels the most commercial to me and he mostly was mid Shark after Nebraska but when he really has something to say he is on. I love My City in Ruins from The Rising. Like EC one has to pan for…"
Ron Balliet replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Agree Gail....Boston had one of the best albums ever, then kaput!!!!"
Ron Balliet replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"REO Speedwagon totally sold out after NINE LIVES....Springsteen sold out with BORN IN THE USA.....Klaatu sold out with ENDANGERED SPECIES (even containing a song called SELL OUT SELL OUT), but they were threatened by Capitol Records!!!"
Stan Schwieger replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"I appreciate your comments...but what is your feeling on the pre-Spike stuff? I could imagine someone coming into the catalog at that time and giving it a look around, but for me, with SO much great stuff behind it, it is hard for me--a die…"
Rashid Stephen Pettit replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Spike is an all right album. But, I think Mighty Like A Rose and especially Brutal Youth are both great albums, start to finish - I listen to those as much as Get Happy!, Liberties, Armed Forces, This Years' Model or Blood And Chocolate.
I have…"
Dennis Edinger replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"A few more. Just some personal choices where I jumped off.....don't need to have anyone tell me I'm wrong:
The Cars - Panorama
New Order - Brotherhood
Deep Purple - Stormbringer
Van Halen - Diver Down
PIL - This Is What You Want....This Is…"
Harry replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Attention Tribers, I want independent (i.e. non-shermo) verification:
Did Mettalica ever play "thrash"?"
shermo replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Ahh Harry,
I am so guilty of loving early thrash such as Metallica produced before the black album was released and still do.

Hannes A. Jonsson replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Good blog, great topic.
But sorry. The Stones were finished as soon as Woody joined. Approx. 8 years earlier than "Tattoo"..."
Gail Manchester replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Boston, any note played after the first album released in 76."
Thomas Cruz replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"I just re-ripped this one the other day. Much filler, especially the Linda song, but Silly Love Songs and Let 'Em In pretty much give this album a free pass IMHO. But I know some rock fans hate those songs..."
Harry replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"<<REM - Reveal>> A much better candidate than AftP referenced above. For me those first 4 albums is the sacrosanct top shelf, then maybe a LITTLE step down from there (there had to be, that is the best run out of the gate at…"
Dennis Edinger replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"Here are a few where the bands jumped the shark with me. Completely subjective of course:
REM - Reveal
Genesis - Duke
Roxy Music - Manifesto
The Who - Who Are You
Pink Floyd - The Wall
The Clash - Combat Rock
Yes - Drama
The Damed -…"
