[Music] Classic John Peel Sessions

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Time for a thread on the place where so many of us heard new music that changed our lives.

Just stumbled across this (with a big name check for Brighton band, The Molesters).

Time was when getting Peel sessions was a chore....thanks to youtube no more. Fill yer boots!

Opening track, one of the most brutal bass lines....so glad I saw them in Sheffield, original line up, with my son, at the reunion gig. What a band.

You get a whole album now. The first track, ironically not on any actual studio album, is one of their best, the first of theirs I heard, and I thought it was the future of rock and roll. Sadly...drugs. Mancs, eh?

I’ve been listening to Movement a lot in the last couple days - just seems to get better with time.

What can I say. The love of Peel's life. Genius.

Trying to keep in the 70s so as to not piss off THPP...

They may sound a bit sexist now, but back then, what a sound. What amazing gigs. <sigh>

One of my favourite bands. Howard Jone's brothers, and subsequently his backing band. So much better than that.

Lovely boys. Disbanded after they graduated from medical school. Nuts.
