    squeeze and Xtc are the true heroes of British music....in my humble opinion.

    "Pulling mussels from a shell" and "Senses Working Overtime" would make my top 10 songs of all time <ok>

    Brilliant............

    I notice you also lavish praise on Roddy Frame when he wrote "High Land, Hard Rain" at the age of 16. He was years ahead of his time at such a young age.

    "Walk Out To Winter" is another of my most favourite songs.

    ...and I dont think you can lump the sex pistols with the "manufactured " tag...not the first line up anyway.

    They were manufactured by one Malcolm McLaren <ok> NOT a true punk band at all.

    Sorry to disagree with you RL because we normally seem to agree on most things :emoticon-0103-cool: I still like you though <smooch>

    They were originally a Who covers band were they not?

    As for a band not mentioned so far, my favourite band of all time, as witnessed by my profile pic are My Bloody Valentine.


    Legends who never charted higher than number 38 <grr>

    I think the sex pistols are somewhat underrated. Manufactured to be shocking but good nevertheless.

    some cracking bands being mentioned on here. Not the ones that "we are supposed to like" as told by music journos.

    In fact over the weekend I'll be digging out my vinyl and giving it a good blast.
