Don't Throw Stones

Fun listen. Thanks for suggesting.

Never heard of them before, but they've instantly become one of my favorite Australian bands. They hit the spot somewhere between Nick Lowe and Joe Jackson. Cracker of an album. Cheers mate.

A fun new wave album - if the list wasn't already inundated with stuff like this I'd probably be a bit more invested. 7/10

7/10. Oh, forgot to rate this the day I listened to it, but it was pretty cool.

Pretty genereic, but enjoyable

I hadn't heard of this band before, but after a single listen it's clear that these songs stack up favorably with popular music of the time, e.g. Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Squeeze. The songs are catchy but not simplistic, well-produced but not over-produced. Surprising and disappointing that they weren't more well known. 4 stars.

Always open to new suggestions. If they have this great look, even better. If it's a reference that belongs to the best years of pop music, how life could be better? :) I didn't know this Australian band. And it's not going to change my life either. But I loved it. A fresh, catchy, positive album... belonging to such creative years that it seems like nothing could go wrong

Enjoyable from this Yank, but not super memorable. Never heard of this band or any of the songs before. Kind of dug "Hit Single" and "Who Listens to the Radio".

Good Aussie rock, not on the level of bands like Icehouse or INXS but still alright. Recognise a few tracks from drinking with older mates over the years. 3/5.

This lively new wave would be far too easy to miss without help; Thanks! With tongue firmly in cheek, the Sports barrel forward with a vocal affect which predicts Nick Cave.

It's fine, brought down by the late 70s/early 80s production.

A good album, but I wonder what was new about it compared to its contemporaries.

New to me. Stylistically kind of all over the map - I found all of it reasonably enjoyable buy as an album it didn't quite come together.

A late 70s / early 80s post punk / new wave album?? Was this added by our author??? It wasn’t these guys are Australian not UK. but sound-wise in the ballpark of the 1001 post punk album list

C’est pas mauvais, ca sonne bien mais ca fait deux fois je recommence l’album et je me rend pas a la fin. Ca sonne beaucoupnpareil tout le long. 3

Nice sound

The Sports had untill today never before crossed my path, but I immediately like their sound. Elvis Costello meets Joe Jackson. Maybe not as memorable, yet still an enjoyable listen.

Good energetic rock n roll (not punk)

It's enjoyable I guess, they've got some undeniable charisma, but I get nothing out of it that I don't get from other bands I enjoy more. I feel like this is the exact type of album that this list is already far too full of.

Wow this was so dull and basic and vaguely 80s that I'm shocked this artist isn't on the real list 5+ times

Probably ass

Very good. Never heard of them but it's aged superbly.
