Short intro

Rattlesnakes is the debut album by British group Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, released on 12 October 1984. The album reached number 13 in the UK Album Charts and included the hit singles Perfect Skin 26 in UK, Forest Fire 41 in UK and Rattlesnakes 65 in UK, 31 in the Netherlands. If I hadn't listened to 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' I could never have written 'Perfect Skin'. I was totally drunk on Dylan at the time I wrote that song and all the imagery is deliberately Dylanesque. Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole, The Commotions.

Id been to Europe once, but my romantic imagery was from books or films. Trying to be a soul band The landscape for the album was my imagination. I stumbled on a way of creating an image with very few words. Trying to be a soul band Lloyd Cole and the Commotions in Munich in 1985. Photograph: DPA Picture AllianceAlamy. Neil Clark, guitarist. One of the finest debuts of the '80s, and possibly the defining album of the whole U. indie jangle scene that also included Prefab Sprout, Aztec Camera, and dozens of other bands, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' Rattlesnakes is a college rock masterpiece of smart, ironic lyrics and sympathetic folk-rock-based melodies.
