Best song to come out of Brighton ?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This one gets my vote...

 

[Garage_Doors]

Test Tube Babies are from Peacehaven, I thought you would have known that.

Peacehaven is Brighton, its a suburb of.

 

[BN9 BHA]

From Newhaven I'm afraid

[MENTION=21669]Gregory2,Smith1[/MENTION] should know this, he is from Newhaven .

I knew he was,hoping no one would notice

Peacehaven is Brighton, its a suburb of.

No it isn't.
Peacehaven is a town, just like Lewes is a town.

Patcham, Hollingbury etc are suburbs of Brighton.

My Thread my rules, don't start bringing facts and geography into it

If you go on telly and the presenter asked where you were from, would you say Peacehaven? no you would say Brighton.

Is that your way of admitting you are wrong?

 

[spring hall convert]

Yup.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Is that your way of admitting you are wrong?

Might be , you missed out the second line in your quotes which is quite important to my reasoning.

 

[Spider]

Even then.

Few people have a music taste to rival mine, but I wouldn't presume to tell them so.

I commute with someone who told me the other day that they 'really loved' the new Mumford and Sons single. Is there really no exceptions

 

[Godstar]

Some fine songs mentioned already...even the tenuous ones!

Might i add a bit of Mr Cave to the mix (one was written in a certain avenue in Hove & t'other in an elegant square in B'ton.

Look, you are pushing me here. That is not fair.

Oh God.

Gahhhh.

Inwardly tuts.

Looks like the conclusion is that not many good songs have come out of Brighton. Also Brighton has expanded to cover virtually the whole of Sussex to get Leo Sayer, Wreckless Eric, etc into the thread.

looks that way,at least Eastbourne didn't get considered as a suburb of Brighton

I think they can claim a couple of number 1's in the past?

drowning in berlin & dancing in the moonlight??

 

[The Spanish]

Lots of terrible music in this thread, but this one is superb, as is a lot of his stuff.

If peace haven doesn't count then shoreham doesnt either.

Well in that case someone should mention Suede, The Cure (though should really count as Surrey) and, erm, The Feeling.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Blue Minkies. Obv.

I claim The Cure on behalf of Crawley, West Sussex, so back off with your Surrey claims.

Was Bobby Gillespie living in Brighton when Screamadelica was conceived? If so this is the, slightly tenuous, winner surely?

No, he was still up in Camden? then, he was down here 3/5 years later, more Rocks time...he turned up without an invite at a house party I was at near Preston Circus & was unsurprisingly waved in

Come on Eileen...Dexys Kevin Rowland was a gym stalwart at Dicks in Vine Street. Top man
