Well yes, Rain Dogs is widely regarded as good, but Rolling Stone said that "The Heart of Saturday Night" was better, so while it may be streamlined (along taste) I don't think its in lockstep. Conversely, Bone Machine is usually championed by Inide Bands simply because its inaccessible. Then again, im glad people don't like stripes because of his voice, the colors and the costumes.
But to touch on what strummer said, I understand liking the grit, but is there a problem with the carnival and the junkyard? I mean, everyone has grit, rarely are the other two facotred in.
Speaking of the Junkyard, Mule Variations is probably better than Rain Dogs.
Speaking of the Carnival, Innocent when you dream sucks...
And as Crowquill mentioned, Blue Valentine is my Favorite album.
