Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Love The Cure Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea around here, probably not macho enough lol I dunno. The Cure were a great singles band 72-92, most of their albums from that period are consistently good too, great b-sides often too. I am not so sure about material after this period, but personally yes,...

To be fair the reunion footage wasn't bad,a bit disjointed,but the Damned were never slick,they have made some great albums but I agree hit and miss,the last one was good,but Its really not on my priority list to get the next one,or see them live again,it's becoming a bit Cabaret IMHO,Sensible says...

I thought the last album Evil Spirits was good,but I've gone off them recently due to their money Grabbing inflated reunion ticket prices etc.Lt Kudu. I have to say, you didn’t miss a lot by the looks of it on YouTube, no energy in the performance. I think I saw that line up at Brixton Academy in 8...

Have The Damned released anything notable since “Strawberries”? I kind of want to say “Phantasmagoria” is a good album, but it’s not really by The Damned previous standard, but the goth in me likes that album. The last Damned album I really knew was “Anything” and I don’t believe anyone is going to ...

I like a few songs by the Clash but I don't really see why they are so adored by the music media etc. Maybe I need to preservere with their albums a bit more. Mixture of things really and depending on how cynical one is really I don’t know if The Clash are overrated really, maybe from most strangle...

Hmm possibly, I remember an interview where Joe was moaning that he thought he'd signed a five album deal but it turned out to be ten, maybe that has something to do with it. I agree that it's disjointed and lacking cohesion, which makes it feel like a concept album, and it doesn't help that the cr...

Oh man, I can understand that would be something that I would regret too Tried listening to Sandinista earlier, I was surprised to find that I still had a copy, had assumed it had been put on the for sale pile, kind of glad I hadn’t departed with it. Some good songs on it, it just seems like The Cla...

Yes, in Britain, perhaps, internationally perhaps not

I don't really get AC DC I’m going to stick my neck out here, and just to show how personal taste is personal taste. AC/DC were good fun, tongue in cheek kind of band when Bon Scott sang for them. Oddly enough I sort of rediscovered AC/DC finding it hilarious with I believe it was Staninblack, that...

I guess they became a stadium bad once Everything must go came out. I really don't know if they are popular in Europe or the US to be honest. I certainly don't think they are in States. A bit like the Stranglers! Well having virtually no interest in them, I couldn’t be arsed to Wikipedia it :P Tryi...

Quoting has got hard, bare with me I don’t want to sound snobbish, and I probably will but the stranglers were sort of too intellectually different for punk. I think there is an intellectual quality also up to around Feline, it drifts off a lot with Aural Sculpture, when in hindsight interpersonal r...

Some of their early stuff is a bit bland imo but most of their albums have been very good. Design for life for me is still one of my all time favourite songs. I can’t ever see myself as checking them out to be honest 8) I get they mean a lot to people, they’re a bit U2 for me, I think they sound li...
