But it's still only three full-length albums though no matter how many variations of the tracklistings you post. It's easier to just find the three of them for oneself.

It's a bit hard with PIL, as they sound different on pretty much every album they'd released. In fact the only thing linking most of the albums is John Lydon's voice.

In a nutshell, the 1978-84 stuff is more left-of-centre, with some post-punk to it, a few dub rhythms and disco grooves, some post-rock and even a little bit of pop music in a couple of cases. The 1985-92 stuff's a lot more accessible on the whole, with more of a focus on hard rock sound in varying degrees from album to album.

As I say though, it's hard to explain.
