Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I'm revisiting their back catalogue. I quite like the vibe on "First Band On The Moon" very 60s/Summer-esque. I'm starting to file them next to Cud and Boo Radleys (i.e a band I hated in the 90s but possibly as I've grown older I've come to respect). Jim My album of the moment is The Cardi...

Almost turns into Ska at one point lol

The drumming! - Too much. Nice little roll of the toms is all it needs.

Also, just realised I've been playing the intro to Toiler slightly wrong

Jim

Who goes to see a band based on what they look like (ignoring the music). They're not Girls Aloud :lol: Jim I would much rather see the Stranglers without JJ than this embarrassment of a performance https://youtu.be/P63NnqRska8?feature=shared This brings back exactly why I gave up going to see "...

That video is brilliant, it sounds great, the songs are great, the performances are great, Dave's got his decent-sounding keyboards...
