when we listened to music in the 1960s and 70s up to about the mid 80s, we had melodies and arrangements - and catchy songs that were 2 1/2 to max 4 mins long. What happened to them?
Jesus, i just remembered this song today. and then i remembered that i had the privilege of seeing this band live. they had just been in a bus crash. singer wore neck brace. guitarist had a cast on his leg. what a great band. great songs.
My God! Pure musical essence!!! (its 1979 and I am 14 years old, wearing man made fibres, a parka, drain pipe jeans and along comes the Undertones and made me fashionable).....brilliant !!!
@brunster64 See, not only does uploading to YouTube bring back memories for some, it exposes people like myself to music we wouldn't be exposed to otherwise. (Can you imagine MTV airing the Undertones?)
Beats me where I found out about The Jam, but I was lead here through them.
@theaceface theres some shite around but theres also some pretty good bands- id consider the arctic monkeys- miles kane- the rifles- dogs and a few others in the tradition of the utones the jam etc- maybe not as good but worthy of praise nonetheless! In my eyes and ears theres always good music around - but id say this era was probally the best outside of the 1965-69 era!

This is my favourite Undertones song. It should be as well known as My Perfect Cousin and Teenage Kicks.

one of the best songs ever. So simple and pure.
Real music not like some of the shit that passes for music today.
Write a song some of the so called bands today cant write their names nor a mind write a song.
