[METALMICKY]

Hanging Around from X-cert - the pure 'grunt' in those opening bass notes gets me every time.

Really difficult to pin it down to one down to one track. However, you have nailed with reference to that 'grunt' bass note. People often bang on about legendary lead/rhythm guitar tones but JJB's bass is an absolute classic. And of course that tone with combined with Greenfield's Hammond organ runs and Cornwall's sparse trebly telecaster sound just blend superbly.

Greatest memory from school days was when at the end of term the music teacher let everyone play a track from their fave band. Imagine his dismay when one of my mates got him to play 'Bring on The Nubiles'. I think we got into about 2 mins before the teacher dived across to turn it off. Quite honestly the teacher should have known better since on entering the classroom he had already asked the same mate to remove the lurid badge on his blazer which said ' I Feel Like A Wog'

Difficult but no great surprise that to date everyone has gone for the Stranglers with Hugh in the lineup as opposed to later line ups.

As we seem to be in an acoustic mode will go for Midnight Summer Dream but the extended 12" version as opposed to the album version on Feline.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

La Folie. Kitsch wonderfulness.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Hugh IS The Stranglers, excuse the grammatical aberration, he wrote all the decent stuff.
