Agreed. The Diggle song "Back With You" is one their best. Too much average stuff on that album overall though.

Really into them again after seeing them last month, just got also the first three albums Deluxe versions, money very well spent.

It's personal taste. Obviously the first three but I like most of 1999's 'Modern' as well.
I also like a lot of 2011's 'A Different Compilation' which is new studio re-recordings of tracks from their entire career but with the current line-up. Some work, some don't. I actually prefer a couple of these to the originals.

The album 'Buzzcocks' from 2003 is probably my favourite after the first 3. 'Modern' is the only album I haven't got (thought it would have had a re-release by now).

I agree with Rockula about 'A Different Compilation' some work some dont. Great version of 'I Believe'.

Just got a promo copy of this, an excellent album. Well worth any non Buzzers fans getting it.
