I'll take the bait....
I truly, deeply love "That's What Life Is All About" and "I Was
Dreaming" from the Kids Are the Same (and side one of same in general,
plus the title tune to start the flip), but haven't found the same
connection with the first Beat - or subsequent Paul Collins Beat/Paul
Collins - albums. I know this flies in the face of established truism,
but thems my guns and I'm stickin' to 'em.

How anyone cannot "get" The Beat, in particular their debut album, is
totally abso-$%$#ing-lutely beyond me. What do you normally listen to?
