Oh Bernard, not the old “they were better when only me and my mates knew them†line. Thought you were better than that.
Not at all Howard, just my humble opinion.
I am as far removed from a music snob as you could get

I’ve still got one. Dunno if it would fit you, though.
They were a staple of my student days and beyond. The album Laid is a real favourite and reminds me of when I was living in Edinburgh on placement. Bleak and melancholy but at the same time rather uplifting.
Not a patch on Village Fire.
And in keeping with this thread

At a wild pot-luck random guess was it something by The Fall?
Good guess Howard, they were number 2 with Austrailians in Europe
'88' 'youth', aye right......................
There must be some Napalm Death on that one and others from the mid to late 80s.
Will check that out Thorizaar.

Funnily enough, I've recently acquired 1987 festive 50 in mp3 format. Also got 89 and some from the 90's as well as the all time 50. I'll zap it onto CD for you tomorrow Bernard.
Thanks Ally. Also found a tape of 1988's festive 50 but the quality is not too hot. Still some classics of our youth on it though
-
go on, then, let's have some titles.
How about if you guess what number one was and I'll copy it for you Howard....
-
Two great choices. Bloody hell, the musical tastes on here in the last wee while have been feckin' great!
Found a tape ( yes I did say tape ) of the festive 50 from 1987 on Wednesday night. Some top tunes on that. Wallowing in nostalgia listening to it...

I played the trumpet, dafty. Or was it the horn?
On The Beach is a top notch album. Especially Revolution Blues:-
"Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars,
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars."
Top five this Friday for me are:-
4. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts – Eno & David Byne; 2 geniuses for the price of 1.
Great choice Howard.

A Certain Ratio - Bootsy

For those who are intrigued as to the Lancashire lads here is their website:-

and here is a sample:-
Now he's a poof, he's got gonhorrea
Now he's a poof, he's a fúcking queer,
Now he's a poof, he can't hold his fúcking beer
Now THAT'S poetry!

“Now he’s a poof/He’s got spunk all over his gob!â€
“Goin’ down Blackpool AWRIGHT!/Goin’ down Blackpool for a pint/Goin’ down Blackpool AWRIGHT!/To see the lightsâ€
“Does anyone know his weight?/That’s his fifteenth plate/The fat bastard!â€
Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy.
Classics everyone Howard......
the zutons - why won't you give me your love
Seen them last night with Mrs. Albrecht. Pretty good.

Exactamundo, so they’re only writing about where they’re from, like a load of other bands that you like.
By the way, The Macc Lads were ace!

Would you prefer they sing about Macclesfield?

Great choice NN.......

A funny, quite possibly apocryphal, story from Euro 96.
A couple of Scotland fans found themselves in Peter Stringfellow's niteclub after the England game. At the end of the night the man himself is standing at the door to bid the revellers farewell, so one of the Scotland fans shakes his hand and says he was gutted when they closed their Paisley club. Cue bemused look on The Sleazy One's face.
