Cruising with the Stranglers

[StanInBlack]

If I had to choose between something like Hugh's playing on "Philip K. Ridiculous" (I mean, you just listen to the guitar playing on that and you automatically know it's him - he has a very identifiable way of playing) or the stock bluesy cliches of "Another Camden Afternoon" or the outro to "Bless You" or some of the stuff that I heard on Dark Matters... I mean, it's no contest really.

Agree, no contest.
Dark Matters is a better album than any Hugh has produced since he left the Stranglers.

Of course not, not everyone needs the support and care you do.

Never ends does it - same arguments, one upmanship and slurs again and again.

When Baz Warne writes a song as good as "Duce Coochie Man" or "Cadiz" or "First Bus to Babylon" or "Leave Me Alone" or "Henry Moore" or "Bilko" or "Decadence" or... well, you get the picture... then we'll talk.

As clear as a bell, Hugh can still occasionally write and record a great track, unfortunately overall, although his albums are good, they’re just not as good as The Stranglers (10 and WIR excepting)

You're now implying that Coup de Grace is superior to any album in Hugh's solo discography? Okay, matey. You're entitled to be wrong.

Your interpretation, I meant ALL Hugh’s solo studio albums since he quit The Stranglers are better than 10 and WIR (although I forgot about footprints in that)
