Active compensatory factors: Apart from compilations, I only own one Dr Feelgood album and this is it and it's brilliant.

The live setting in cheapo, sleezy dives in Sheffield (side 1) and Southend (close to the band's home on Canvey Island) is perfect. I can almost feel the sticky floor and combo smell of beer, tobacco, wet carpet and spliffs on the Southend side especially.
What a band! Wilco Johnson's stabby guitar style and Lee Brilleaux's shouty growly vocals are the front line but Sparko and The Big Figure are the perfect no nonsense back line.
This went to number one back in 1976 and it's clear that the punk energy and influence - no lengthy show-off guitar solos and compact songs, suited the times.
Where do they all belong? As I said, once you've called the doctor, you should start here with the live album, branch out to a compilation or two for more if needed, and call me in the morning.
