    The 70s was full of fantastic music but if you listen to 70s radio you'll get Kung Fu Fighting and Tiger Feet.
    This.

    Another track on the telly was Kraftwerk - The Model. Whilst OK, you very rarely hear any of their other tracks which are miles better. Now, it could be to do with song videos, but the same also appears to apply to radio.


    BTW, Billy Bragg has turned into some sort of massive cvnt, hasn't he? Or was he always one?

    Billy has fallen into the same abyss as the rest of the left and now appears to not understand what a woman is. To the extent of telling women to shut the **** up for voicing their own opinion on the subject.

    But his first four albums are still good. Dated, but good

    The 80s was actually pretty ****ing depressing and to me the music with a darker side is more evocative of the period. The bass sound on early Cure records, Joy Division and The Smiths. That is what the 80s felt like to me. Not a load of ponces with shoulder pads, lipstick and those stupid ****ing guitars with the neck cut off.

    Joy Division. Unpopular opinion, but I didn't like them at all. New Order, on the other hand, I've seen them live a few times.

    Steinberger guitars? They are still on the go, I believe.

    To be honest, I didn't really like Joy Division either. I was just using it as an example of the sound

    I should have said the Sisters of Mercy, better example. Their first album has that dark, heavy sound to it but their later stuff is all very tinny and crisp.

    Joy Divison fans might like this rendition of Love Will Tear Us Apart.

    Benmont Tench is Tom Petty's childhood buddy who, along with Petty obviously, founded Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

    As far as I know it can only be found here: https://www.discogs.com/release/1424...-From-The-Fall

    So if you like it I think it can only be found on the link above.

    How great a name is Benmont Tench! Should have been an acoustic jazzman. "On the bass, Benmont Tench!"
