Album of the year as well I believe.

DM were superb but their best work was when Gahan was totally out of it. Saw them live at Crystal Palace and the opener "Higher Love" was awesome.

 

[The Large One]

Now yer talking!
First Picture Of You-The Lotus Eaters

Reminds me of my first wedge flick haircut and maroon potato sack diamond-check tanktop.

No, I did not try and look like Charlie Nicholas.

 

[Beach Hut]

What, no 'My Perfect Cousin' by The Undertones?

 

[bigc]

afraid to admit, and a rarity for me and the 80s,not heard it.

 

[Lush]

Do you mean 'Enjoy the Silence'? Which came out in 1991...

I can't stand this emotional violence

 

[bigc]

What, no 'My Perfect Cousin' by The Undertones?

the subbetto line brings back too many painful memories

plus its become incredibly trendy to like the undertones lately.

im keeping it distinctly untrendy with the blow monkeys

 

[Beach Hut]

Prefab Sprout ?

 

[The Large One]

I can't stand this emotional violence

Ah, different song entriely then. But then, 'Enjoy The Silence' aside, Depeche Mode were utter wank.

 

[bigc]

I'm torn between what I want the concept of the cd to be.

just 17 or so big "known" hits,or split between hits, good slighty less known songs by big artists, then a few of my own discretion(love town.lol)

 

[The Large One]

plus its become incredibly trendy to like the undertones lately.

But that's just f***ing outrageous. How many songs apart from My Perfect Cousin, Tennage Kicks and maybe Jimmy Jimmy could the average bod name nowadays?

Not that many, I'll warrant ye.



*sits back and waits for late 30 / early 40-somethings to list a catalgoue of excellent Undertones songs *

How can anyone define 10 years of music in 34 songs?

 

[bigc]

very true

shall I get a 3rd CD though

it was only meant to be a bit of a laugh, but I wanted it to be listenable too, cos I have a reputation to uphold

and about the undertones, the NME generation I tell ya

 

[bigc]

I suddenly remembered I forgot a total classic

Jungle Love-Morris Day and The Time

 

[Lush]

I suddenly remembered I forgot a total classic

Jungle Love-Morris Day and The Time

Which reminds me....
