B.A.D. was always an interesting group, arguably more consistent than the Clash ever were. Their 1986 disc "This Is B.A.D." pioneered the use of movie dialogue samples which is absolutely everywhere now. This is a good intro to their material, but I must warn you that if you buy it to get their excellent early song 'E=mc squared', it is not on here despite its listing on the case. Not sure how they did it, but it is a totally different song, not a remix or version but just the wrong song. Funny in a way but I bought it for that song, I already have almost all their stuff on CD. Still, the rest of it is a good example of their stuff, and will let you know whether you would want to buy some of their more crucial discs, such as the first ('This Is B.A.D.') or 'The Globe' by a later line-up known as B.A.D. II, still including main man Mick Jones (the Clash MJ, not the Foreigner with the Spooky Teeth).
