Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

So Jim & Toby have no credibility? I was referring to the collective entity, and no - in my opinion it doesn't. presentation of DM is brilliant with an incredible cover to it If you're comparing it to the painfully low bar set by the sleeves to About Time or Coup de Grace, then sure. If you're ...

so for me they have all the ingredients then to be classed a great band and if their not then what would make them a good one? just a curious question because i'd like to be told what is missing from this current line that would make them a good one. Relevance (which they've not had since MKI) and ...

I couldn't ever imagine having a musical diet that just consisted of music that punk purists considered to be "real punk", for me that would be like having an actual diet that solely consisted of white bread, or having a family tree that looked like a stump. Just really boring, self-refer...

I appreciate this is the same thing again, but you're free to talk about what you like about the video.

And you didn't mention the 270 ideas Stan! Wasn't it 370 ideas? The only reason I didn't mention it is probably because it was the sort of thing that was parroted so often interviews in between Giants and Dark Matters that whenever I hear it now I just don't think anything of it ...

Came across a live recording a few weeks back of the League just after the split, when Phil and the girls were still singing the the old tracks, which I've heard before, but in this case also a new song that I never had heard "Take On The World" and also "I am the Law", but no o...

"It's a nonsensical argument that it's not the same, of course it's not the same and nor do we want it to be the same." Oh? That's okay, then. Just put a group of any old swinging dicks onstage and call them The Stranglers, then. I mean, that's all well and good if you want to spunk your ...
