  Ah,  well, what I meant was that maybe if I could find ten good tracks 
they might serve as some kind of stepping stone to enjoying (or 
tolerating) a bit more...


  I am a little puzzled why I find it so bad, The Fall, but I think it is 
probably something to do with the incredibly repetitive and relentless 
riffing.

  Aha! If you don't like The Fall, you don't like them, and that's it. For 
those who understand, no explanation is necessary, for thos who don't, no 
explanation is possible, sort of things. 

  The "incredibly repetitive and relentless riffing" is, for many, one of 
the main attractions. 

  I'm not going to recommend ten tracks, because it would do no good. If I 
were you I'd just shrug, mentally file The Fall under one of those bands 
you just don't like, and listen to stuff you DO like. Happened to me with 
Talking Heads, people going on about them all the time, but I never could 
get into them.

  Similiarites between The Fall and the BAs are well noted round these 
quarters. Not so much the music, but more the set-up: the dominating, 
genius frontman backed by a set of ever-changing band members (more so in 
the Fall's case, as Mark E. Smith is the sole original member).

  That Peel box set, by the way, is the best thing ever released in any 
format EVER.
