Get grumpy then

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

both were great in the mid '80s I agree. Never liked the Wedding Present. Pixies - yeah ok, but best stuff in the '90s, PJ best stuff from the late '90s onwards.

Just imvho of course ;-)

[DG (socialist surrender monkey)]

in the old wolf tone in mary street dublin

i was around 19/20 and he gave out to me for drinking so much said i was too young to be drinking so much

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

musicianship was absolutely top-notch though.

[Supermac1976]

Shane had left/been kicked out by then, they only lasted for one tour like that.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Suedehead Viva Hate. PWEI Cure Prince etc

[Supermac1976]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Surprisingly good live

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

loved The Smiths & was still listening to their stuff then. The Cure - well...great fan of their first four albums, hated the next three but adored (& still adore to this day) Disintegration which was out in '89. You may have a point there :-) Prince :shrug: alright I s'pose. PWEI - never really listened tbh.

[Chief Arrowhead]

Squeeze?

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

& I don't mean angry...but I really can't remember there being that much decent (British) music around. I do take your point regarding REM though.

In a 300 capacity bar/club in Nashville, TN. Brilliant show. Michael Stipe had hair! :yikes: REM only had Murmur out at the time.

I still don't know why Squeeze made a song about pulling mussels from a shell, buy hey, it was the 80's.

[IUFG]

as were The Wonder Stuff around that time...
