"This is on a list of pending (potential) promotions but it seems daft to delay the inevitable"

okay, I delayed it for another six weeks because that's who I am apparently, but now we are where we should be. Update: it feels right

Band is one I missed at the time because of me age.



They were the hand me downs of much bigger brothers and sisters who were ‘adults’



I was lucky enough to have been there and hopped on board when Nirvana changed the world.



The 60s dished out the unequivocal greatest of all times but the fact remains that The Smiths and Morrissey are the ones who upon discovery and decades later still speak directly to me.



You can’t knock it.



Absolute magic.

Such a banger track. Frankly and Bigmouth were always my favourites. There Is a Light also rules, and so does Some Girls Are Bigger, but I feel like the former was killed (for me) due to media overexposure. Kept hearing it via the radio/movies/TV/my circle of friends.

Title track is THE banger but back to a previous point raised by mong.



‘Frankly Mr Shankly this position I’ve held it pays my way and it corrodes my soul’



One of the best lyrics ever.

Some Girls Are Bigger is close to the weakest link imo. Either that or Vicar in a Tutu (which is fine in reality, but pales in such company).

t/t and Bigmouth are certainly in the realms of A tier, most of the remainder are.

S tier is reserved for "I Know It's Over"
