Re: Dark Matters review

10 is obviously the four members of the classic Stranglers line-up exploring a different avenue of their sound to the one they explored on Rattus, but fundamentally the DNA of the band is recognisable as being the same.

Went to the pub in Birmingham for drinks once where they first performed (about 30 years too late). Musta been good seeing them at the time. They're early stuff is pretty good. Jim...

Re: Bands with just 1 decent album

Yup, and I'd say Murmur and Reckoning piss over anything else REM ever did [emoji38] I disagree with all of you and I'd say that the only R.E.M. album I don't like is Around the Sun. I like Fables of The Reconstruction and Life's Rich Pageant. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk I actually quite l...

Good God, there will, no doubt, be wall to wall progs on TV about her and endless column inches. They will wheel out all the leftist comedians to reminisce about the 'good old days'.
