Fuzzywobbles' New Order album got me pulling out some of my favorite Factory records.

A CERTAIN RATIO "KNIFE SLITS WATER" EP

SECTION 25 "THE BEAST/SAKURA" EP

Their first 12".
 
Minutemen have a very low percentage of good songs, IMO. They can be quite ordinary, and just plain bad on.many songs.

Haven't listened to the early stuff in years. But the Buzz EP, DNOTD, and the posthumous Ballot Result are some of the best of their generation. Catchy songs? Not always, I'll agree. Maybe it's better to think of them as a jazz trio who loved punk rock & CCR.
