Reminds me of getting stoned as a student, quality tune and album!

[1WeeBiff]

My gawd i can't believe all the childish 'tit for tat' as they..If you don't like it,don't listen then,it's as easy as that is it not!Personally the are in my top 4fav's,i have seen them many times over the yrs 7 no one can deny thae fact that they work well with the crowd always.I think they are shit hot or i wdn't be looking them up ect!

[Allthepiecesmatter]

@1WeeBiff Amen to that! I won't drag you into the torrid rantings of young Jamie, so I'll just sit back and enjoy seeing comment like this from fellow enthusiasts. Where has all the Indie gone?

[1WeeBiff]

@Allthepiecesmatter Haha,that was quite mild 4me,i can fayre rant sometimes when i get started but only if it's called for.James are also up there in my top4.Last months James gig was the 1st one ive missed in gawd knows many yrs,2many 2remember but Ive got my tkt ready

&waiting for the O.C.S gig in Feb.. 8-)

[CK2890]

so fuckin borin

[stendeb]

@CK2890 Nob head!

[Mr13utt]

HARTLEPOOL TALL SHIPS 2010 XXXXXXXXX

[paulybigman1986]

it aint rock n role music lol do u see ocs ridin round on fuckin choppers n shit??? no they are mods to the end. fuck rockers.

[robbiesda1]

STEVE CRADDOCK IS ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS EVER , LISTEN TO IT THE MANS A LEGEND! INFACT THE FULL BAND ARE LEGENDS STIRLING CASTLE 1998!!!

[SCOTTISHMEAT]

allthepiecesmatter am with u on ur comment about oasis gigs they gave ocs their break through on their live forever tour (long live irvine beach lol)but james kick the arse oot both o them hands down and u ken it

[MsPauly2010]

Ocean Colour Scene - Policemen And Pirates... Best band ever!!!!!

[SCOTTISHMEAT]

all the pieces matter I wiz a smoker o the long 1 in the ninties bck then a wis oasis when a listin 2 them now its ocs but listen 2 james much better than the 2 put 2gether

[Allthepiecesmatter]

@SCOTTISHMEAT - Yeah, who wasn't? You need the smoke to make Oasis sound even half-way good. "She's Electric" aside, but then that's just a Beatles song with new words.

I'll see your James and raise you "The Circle" by the band above. I love James too, but I keep my comparisons real and relevant.

Can't put real musicians up against the machine - the best gigs were Noel's and you know it - so why keep Liam? £££...

[kilted06yass]

@SCOTTISHMEAT who or wit is james? if yer sayin there as good as oasis or ocs put together i want ae hear it

[deanarooney]

@kilted06yass james are awesome mate you should give them a listen,i cant beleive you dont know who james are.theres some videos of them live on here

[kilted06yass]

@deanarooney aye mate yer right enough they do sound really good, quite different. can you buy there cd's from hmv or the like

[deanarooney]

@kilted06yass yeh mate youre better off getting "james the best of" youll love that album. once you get into em youll wear the disc out mate.

[Allthepiecesmatter]

@ MrVilla - Really? Showing your skills right here - leaving something a little bit wanting, yeah?

If you weren't there then you don't know...

This band is a British Legend. And that is a fact.

[jonedwards88]

its got a little tiny bit of shes so heavy by the beatles i recon, sounds good tho

[Allthepiecesmatter]

Utterly inspired - these guys gave Indie music its true credence in the early 90's. Could Oasis have done this much? No - they were too busy being wankers...

[19Doc78]

Too true.

Not saying Oasis are crap.But acting like wankers got them bigger than they are.OCS : Way better.

[Allthepiecesmatter]

@SCOTTISH MEAT - Did they really need that break? A band this talented needs only a stage and an audience, no matter where. Craddock is an absolute diva and it didn't take Oasis to figure that out. And as for James, well, they hold their own... XD

[281jamie]

@Allthepiecesmatter u must be 12 or somethin ya cock strangler ye , stoap talkin pish about oasis , oasis and ocean colour scene , cast , the verve, the stone roses and nirvana made the nineties the best decade of music thats ever been , long live indie music, stop talkin shit ya fukin monkey ye

[Allthepiecesmatter]

@281jamie Ah, my scottish brother - you speak the truth. These bands really turned the 90's into a true renaissance for us - that I won't argue. However, I still had favourites (as I'm sure you did) and while you listen to James and get your rocks off, I will be on the outside of the circle listening to the best indie music in my lifetime.

[wotters12345]

reminds me of smokin squidgy black bucket bongs in summer time as a teen , awsome times

[althelover]

everyone is a nigger

[bobbycrosure]

More like of the most over rated bands of all time, I think you will find. Pigeon face!

[hunkyfunkster]

Pigeon face!?, that had me in stitches haha!

[richymoore]

One of the most under rated rock n roll outfits of all time, every one of them is an ingenious musician but Steve Craddock is up there with the very best guitarists of all time

[weareleeds28]

@richymoore they are so underated i agree ... craddock being up there as one of the best guitarists i agree.

and i also think fowler is one of the best songwriters this country as ever produced, just so so underated .

legends.

[drewbnkerry]

@richymoore the very best is up where craddock belongs, wouldnt place OCS in the rock n roll catogrey tho

[1WeeBiff]

@drewbnkerry As much as i think Craddock's brill, i went to an Acoustic Set in May& he wasn't playing with the band that night&i can assure you it was still a shit hot night&bursting@the seems.Every1 new when the tkts went out that Steve C wasn't doing the acoustic set with the rest of the band but it didn't stop deter them whatsoever....

[theoverpopulated]

@richymoore yep

[dave7783]

mosley shores fucking pure class start to finish

[MrVilla1874]

mosely shoals u fuckin prat hahaha mosley shores!!!

[4pilotooo]

pure class

[m0nkee1]

OCS did write some good songs incl b sides. ... they aint average...  i think they suffer a bit from being consistent .. all there popular songs were catchy but a little bit indistinguishable... does not make them bad ... the verve wrote some pretty awful tunes so the great ones stand out more....

[theocouk]

MrCroixdeguerre, ya fuckin plank, what the fuck are you doin on this part of the internet, commenting and listening to a band you dont like? name one thing you've done worth 5000 views

ya fuckin arsehole, get to fuck!

[stampingtonzoo]

Plank? indeed you should be made walk one for your lame attempt at drillage..I gather you are a sweaty?..Helps explain your lumpen fondness for such a shite band..You lot always were behind the times...Must be something in that gut rot iron bru that turns you all in to gibbering apes...I recommend you go to the isle of man..it seems they have an ancient law whereby on sight a scot can be killed..check out buck tooth...

[theocouk]

oh no not another one..a racist one this time.. away an' stick yer pecker up yer dads arse.. if you dont like it fuck off... simple as that.

I dont like the fact that it's dearer to pay for a ticket when your on the train, than it is to get it from the ticket booth. but you dont see me posting pathetic comments on how shite it is! so what is the point? cunts like you should just worry about their own lives, and stop butting in like some poncy wee know it all.

[MrCroixdeguerre]

Is that right sweaty?...You don't like the fact that you have to pay for anything...A characteristic unique to shilling takers er i mean scots...So long Campbell..

[theocouk]

you've said they're shite... well done... everyone has read it.... now go away!

[celicasimon]

@stampingtonzoo an excellent put down mate..........seldom bettered

[nexislex]

I was 10 when this came out, and my Da used to play it full volume and stomp around the house. He has great taste, I hope he knows how much he influenced me.

[TheTHEWORLDISCRAZY]

MrCroixdeguerre u r dillusional dude infact u r dillereous!!!!!!

[TheTHEWORLDISCRAZY]

the best song if ever heard and only has 4829 veiws words fail me.

[MrCroixdeguerre]

my friend the lack of views maybe an indication that the 'scene' are basically shite..maybe its your ears that are failing you...

[1WeeBiff]

@MrCroixdeguerre I don't think the amount of views ect has got a lot 2do with it,not everyoe has access to a comp or comp literate so there will be a large number of people who don't have access to Ya tube,oops slip of the finger there,put ya instead of you!1

[tommywardlaw]

reminds me of being 23.

[philip1878]
