The Fall are known for its prolific output: in addition to the studio albums they have released more than triple that if you count live albums and other compilations.

Here’s an old one from The Fall via YouTube.

Founded by its only constant member, Mark E. Smith, The Fall formed in Manchester in 1976 and has existed ever since. Musically, there may have been several stylistic changes over the years, but it is often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith’s distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.
