[kj] OT: The Damned

[Leigh Newton]

I have compared them and I totally see what you mean.

Just kidding.

The guitar/bass riff in the chorus of New Rose is one of the catchiest things ever put to vinyl. And the chorus itself is a great hook, totally memorable. The drums are frantic and amazing. That little drum fill that links the breakdown to the main bit is so awesome. Christ Greg, do you even understand the very fundamental basics of music???? ;)

It is, indeed, a better song than Suspect Device and Rise Above as well (both fine songs). Fact.

Love Song is good, but I never got what was great about Neat Neat Neat and New Rose. Granted they have a good
beat and an old-school sound, but both songs are pretty devoid of any melody, at least a memorable one. They both sound to me
like something someone could come up with in a few minutes. Compare them to songs like "Harmony in My Head" or "Suspect Device" or 
even Black Flag's "Rise Above" or some good Rezillos stuff and you'll see what I mean.
