Jacob Muck's Top 10 Favourite Albums Part 2

Lesbians - Welcome Home, Darling (1993)

A visceral excursion into the vagaries of the female condition, Welcome Home, Darling was, according to Lilian Katt, "a fuck you to all those docile, domesticated, anything to please him, little miss perfect, trophy wife bimbos who give feminism a bad name". This pungent follow up to We Fuck Life was too vitriolic for mainstream consumption and due to a slew of heroin related deaths, proved to be the band's last album.

1 - Ain't Gonna Be Made A Maid

2 - Little Miss Pervert

3 - Tampon Soup

4 - Whorechild

5 - Alpha Ape

10 - Sullen Girl

11 - Kiss My Other Lips

Sans-Culottes - Te Futueo Et Equum Tuum (1989)
Portland, Oregon's finest drunken sons shone brightest on this, their last album before they all died from drugs.

1 - Dan Is Going To Spew, Man!
2 - All The Girls I Love Are Other Men's Daughters
3 - Totally Stoned
4 - Epic Party
5 - Girls Are Weird

8 - Gonna Leave This Town
9 - Nothing To Do
10 - Do Nothing
11 - Sorry Ma, I Need Money.


The Electric Chairs - Best Of All Possible Worlds (1976)
Something of a kitschy delight, Best Of All Possible Worlds is perhaps the greatest pop album ever made by a trio of Japanese teenage schoolgirls. Lead singer and keyboard supremo Matsurisha Matsurasho's songs of sexual confusion and clothes struck a chord with many a western teenager.

1 - I Like You, Maybe It Is Love
2 - Awesome Trousers
3 - I Love Clothes
4 - I Am Happy Now (I Was Sad Previously)
5 - I Want To Kiss Love Kindly
6 - I Love Clothes (Reprise)
7 - Be My Fond Boyfriend Man
8 - Party On The Street Now
9 - Please Be Special To Me
10 - Your Style Is Cool
11 - I Like Looking At You


The Junk Specifics - Needless Use (Of Brackets) 1966

1 - Specifically Junkish

2 - Blast Crash

3 - This Fucking Fucker's Fucked

4 - Dynamite Boy

The Muppets Sing Lead Belly (1984)

Though the critics initially scoffed, this collection of covers turned out to be a real eye-opener. Backed by house band Dr Teeth And The Electric Mayhem, The Muppets tear through Huddie Ledbetter's back catalogue with an admirable gusto. Kermit's frenzied take on Take A Whiff On Me is a coked-up classic and Ms Piggy's cruel vocal on They Hung Him On A Cross continues to haunt. Beaker's synth laden electro-pop take on Mr Hitler is the 80's.
