    The Mighty Fall, as Peel used to say.

    The bottom line is they recorded some great songs - the knack of finding a great hook and repeating it.
    "Repetition" was their first great song - how appropriate; hundreds followed.

    Queen because my parents listened to them when I was a kid, and the Pixies because when I was about 11 my mates cousin gave me a cassette of Doolittle and told me to listen to it.
    Seen the Pixies live 3 times now.
    One of my greatest regrets is that I will never get to see the Great Freddie Mercury live though :(

    Will give the Fall a listen and see if they any good.

    Saw The Fall at the Reading festival in 1990 while waiting to see the Pixies. Mate was a big fan. Was hooked after that.

    Does anyone remember when Jonathon Ross did a live show on a train, I think Mark said to him, "I can tell anyone's religion just by looking at them" to which Ross replied "OK what am I" and Mark replied "you are a c*nt"

    What a Lege

    I saw them play 4 times back then, 2 of the gigs were brilliant, the other 2 an utter shambles.
