Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Always reminds me of when I was in Germany in the late 70's /early 80's . They were popular with the Germans ( probably as they were a German band ). At the time punk didn't exist in Germany , many Germans didn't understand it or were unaware of it completely ..... it was an oddity that was confined...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mkf0iJIbZM Been listening ot a fair bit of The Subs lately , seemingly forgotten these days ...... but they did 4 great studio albums and a brilliant llive album to start with , had a singer who was a fair bit older that most of the punk bands members around at the ti...

Haven't really made any effort to watch this , this time around - mainly because Price/Jordan was back in it - a publicity exercise that seriously backfired as the public probably hate her more now than before . It became the Katie Price show rather than "Celebrity - get me out of here " ,...

Anyone know what the additional bollocks is on this? I refused to buy the last re-issue as I had the one before that Jim Its probably like you say ........... its additional stuff ........ And its bollocks :grin: Like I said before - I never really got the Clash after " Give em enough Rope&quo...

Could we please forget the drossy UB40 and get back to the point of this thread which was John Lydon's PIL .

We've gone totally off the track . What was the question again ?

Have to say tonights DR Who was great..its was bit differant to the normal Dr Who but have to say the BBC can be proud of themselfs not only with this episode but with all of what they have done with the DR since he came back.. Im so looking forward to the xmas specials The master is back and i bel...

PiL reminded me of the early UB40 days and as I browsed through YouTube I came across this classic that I thought would make people raise the hairs on the back of their necks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnVxXAJ9jW8&feature=related How can PIL be mentioned in the same sentence as the dross UB...

The Specials - Probably the greatest influence on my politics - They made me think about things via their music. Ghost Town/Too Much Too Young et al - I think it's still as relevant now as when it was made. I remember many people saying The Clash were the political band of the 70's, but IMHO The Sp...

I gave up with The Clash after Give em enough Rope . I liked that one , but to me its like they sold out after that...................... Sandanista , couldn't stand what I heard from that .

Have just listened to the Universe B song on Youtube ........ its far more reminiscent of Pandemonium era ....... he sings on that one , but it was a Hossanna's song , or would have been if it wasn't left off the album - probably didn't fit in with the rest of the material . More like this one I hop...

Can't wait. They are probably my 2nd favourite band. Likewise - probably my second fave band . BUT.......... their last two albums I have found to be a bit samey - they're good .....but I wish Jaz would drop the shouting all the time and just sing now and again . I liked the Pandemonium album , lot...

I've recently seen some of these oriental films . Never bothered before . They are really quite good . Seen Warlord and Mongol . I could get into these very easily .
