They were alway a good band...until Red Red Wine. Once they started having hits with crappy covers they were never the same.

If you listen to Ali Campbell( or whatever his name is)singing he doesn't finish his words of. Have a listen to 'Cant help falling in love' - "why maa say, only foo russ ee". Always annoyed me.
Blind acceptance is a sign - of stupid fools who stand in line.
