Re: Damned Original Reunion on the cards?

Still pretty expensive Manchester. There is no way I'd pay more than £35 to see the Damned. Looking at the prices people like Depeche Mode and Roger Waters charge people you can only conclude that they actually hate their own audiences. Why do they have presales for example? It's to create jealousy....

Re: The Buzzcocks new album later in year.

One of the reviews I read compared his voice to Frank Sidebottom which on one or two tracks is actually a very fair description.

The album is good. I usually hate 21st century albums by very old bands but this is full of energy.

Re: Killing Joke

I bought all their albums up to Night Time last year but I've not played then much yet.

I think this is astonishing. One of the greatest tracks I've ever heard by anyone.

Re: Clash

Complete Control, White Man In Hammersmith Palais and Straight To Hell are for me three of the greatest singles of all time.

Re: Pink Floyd the great divider for Stranglers fans

Time and Comfortably Numb are as good as it gets in rock music. For me.

Very few have come close to those. Maybe the Who with Won't Get Fooled Again or the Stones with Gimme Shelter.
Just incredible stuff. I like most of their albums up to and including the Wall.
