Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Easy. Gary Numan's 3 farewell shows at Wembley in 1981. Even though each show was sold out he lost £750,000 (in 1981 lol) due to all the lights and special effects involved. Whilst they were setting up the gear, someone found out that there was a disused swimming pool underneath Wembley Arena so the...

Aggh, the 70s! Having the shit kicked out of me at school everday, spag bol or chips every night, spam for dinner! Early closing, cars breaking down, permanently cold in the winter, permanently hot in the summer, greasy hair and acne, being caned, having to do lines (not of charlie) everything runni...

Once you get over the falsetto singing style you realise how multi layered and well arranged everything is. They kinda remind me of Young Knives and Devo!

A great year for music if you can be bothered to look for it. :smt015 :lol: These are my favourite tracks in no order. Under The Westway - Blur Cold - Blood Red Shoes Petals - Officers feat Gary Numan Come On, Be A No-One - The Cribs Husbands - Savages Shotgun - Eugene McGuinness One Drop - Public I...

Really enjoyed the gig. Ended up right at the front and still bruised. Sound was shite - agree with all of what has been said but wouldn't have missed it for anything though. The compare at London was a right twat though. Anyone know who he is? Was like a cross between Danny the dealer in Withnail a...

Of course they were punk. They may have come from pub rock but the attitude was always punk and the first 2 albums especially, sounded punk.

Yeah something like that. Copy and paste is a wonderful thing. I enjoy some albums more than others obviously, but each one is sprinkled with at least a few droplets of greatness!

The album that's from is Night Time. A good start. Try youtubing some early classics like Empire Song, Chop Chop, Wardance, Requiem, Let's All Go To The Fire Dances, Eighties, Adorations. My favourite albums are probably Killing Joke (1980) What's THIS For...! (1981) Revelations (1982) Fire Dances (...
