Loved this band since I first saw them at Stratford Town Hall in 1985. An uneasy melding of uncompromising Marxism, cricket, trains and English history with various rhyme variants and Shakespearianisms added for good measure. Confused? You deserve to be. Check out the Wicked Men, Wicked Women and Wicketkeepers album. Best song? Right Hand Man.
I have to disagree with "Crochet14" Right Hand Man is one of their worst songs ever.
I would have to say "Alnwick & Tyne", "The Barman", "Blow The Man Down", "Signalman White"...so many truly outstanding tracks....
