James Chance because I haven't heard the others.

Contortions all the way!

Pussy Galore are definitely my favourites of those three.

James Chance is pretty good too, Buy is a sweet album.

I've never listened to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, what's their best album?

Pussy Galore takes the cake in my book.....but i also like Blues Explosion

i suggest Acme as a good stating point

i never really got in to James Chance....will have to fix that

I've listened to two albums by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Now I Got Worry and Acme. That was before I got into Pussy Galore. But they never grabbed me the way Pussy Galore immediately did.

I really can't choose between James Chance and Pussy Galore. I like them both equally. But from no wave scene, I like Mars and Theoretical Girls even more.

Which begs the question to the OP - why did you choose James Chance to compare to Pussy Galore and Jon Spencer?

yeah why not Boss Hog or Heavy Trash?

Contortions for sure, but isn't Pussy Galore from D.C.?

Well they all have some common ground grit. You just have to look for it. A good example of this is are the following songs.
