Well, East 17 probably, but who was the real winner of the Wess Cunnry Coffee Table war? You have EIGHT ticks to dish out between Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky's UK Top 40 hits.

It just seems misanthropic to me, kind of like Tricky hated the world and wanted to get back at it by making it sit through BAD MUSIC, scattering a few gems here and there just to be difficult.

Yeah, I think it's a combination of that, plus I seem to remember certain tracks start getting very very very long, one-note and repetitive, which I think is due to his intended audience being people who were smoking as much weed as he was.

I remember him literally BEGGING people outside the venue for weed when he opened for PJ Harvey.
