[Music] Do you remember when....???

[Insel affe]

I would have told him to go to the Market Diner, only 24hr food place at the time.

Buddies

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

If it wasn’t the 80’s I’m not interested.

 

[Simster]

The 90s were a great time to be alive (if we ignore the Albion travails). Decent government, things worked, houses were affordable, members of the EU, and the music was absolutely top drawer. Even the shit, bland music was less shit and bland than it is now and was before.

And that last sentence is the best thing I can say about Simply Red.

 

[schmunk]

The best thing they ever did was to sample Give It Up by the Goodmen. Thankfully it's still possible to enjoy that track without an overlay of BLAND.

Euro 96 had many highlights and the below Simply Red show at Old Trafford was certainly one of them, a great British band at the peak of their powers.

 

[Questions]

I do remember Spitting Image doing a skit with Mick, Lisa Stansfield and the big fellow out of The Commitments singing a song called, “We Just Wanna Be Black”

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

“he’s used to be okay then he turned into a complete Ginger ****”

Mark E Smith called it right.

 

[The Fits]

Remembering, the first time,
We made love,
I was just recalling

 

[METALMICKY]

With Level 42 the really brilliant musicianship is even more evident on their early less commercial stuff. They still tour with Mark and Mike and have had the pleasure of seeing them quite a few times over the last couple of years.

 

[Official Old Man]

Simply Red - Stars
Brilliant then and today (sorry, showing my age).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Goldie. Timeless

A great era!

Christ. Crodo must be sitting in his lair, flabbergasted at what medium sized fish he's netted

 

[crodonilson]

Simply Red - Stars
Brilliant then and today (sorry, showing my age).

A phenomenal piece of musicianship.

 

[Justice]

If money is too tight to mention then why does Hucknall mention it over 30 times in the song? Bloody idiot.

Get a f***ing job then you ginger twat…. I’ve often thought that when I’ve heard that song.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

you ginger twat….

I think that if I’m ever unfortunate enough to hear one of his songs.

 

[Iritari]

Fairground was such a massive hit. I remember hearing it non-stop on the radio. They really dominated the scene.
