Influential beyond measure, it threw together walls of white feedback with angelic Beach Boys and Byrds-ian harmonies and the independent music world is still aping it. Their growth since that record has been marked by ups and downs and some might say, by a lack of growth at all. They've gone from confrontational noise to sample-heavy alterna-hits, to acoustic bliss and back to noise again. The brothers Reid (Jim and William) have not been known to deny their influence and continue their onstage feuding: drunken assaults amidst a smattering of occasional strung-out brilliance and too-often sameness. - Jon PruettNoise Popen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:21:46 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.60999&rws=%2Fthe-jesus-and-mary-chain%2Fmusic-videos.rss On a list of the most influential records recorded in the '80s, someone would be hard pressed not to include somewhere in the top five the Jesus and Mary Chain's staggering debut, <I>Psychocandy</I>.
