22Phantasm

Face it - TOTP was just a way to push your song up the charts. 99% of bands lip synced and never played their instruments. New Order always played live. Billy just was an enigma with the perfect voice. His quips and eccentricities showed us how normal he could be - though we did not really know h...

BIG HAIR !!!! Great tune.

Their best song.... weird it wasn't such a big single hit, though. Who cares cos I love it.

I'm pretty sure Peel's fav band was The Fall - but I can understand why he loves these too.

RIP, MCA. This is my favourite music vid of all time. Unstoppable.

It's my opinion, as your comment is yours.

Simply Perfect.

21st Century UK comedy doesn't come close to this! Hilarious stuff. :):):):)

Underrated band, oh so underrated. I love this song. The lyrics make me cry.

Just love this song, but it shows that sometimes lightning only strikes once.

I forgot just how powerful Sam's voice is. Sultry and sassy !!!

If the song continued... He'd sing... 'This song, this song is for Jenny'.... I was dating a girl called Jenny who dumped me at the time - and I cried over this song. Ah, memories. Great Album too.

My favourite 10,000 Maniacs song - and I am so chuffed to witness it via this fab clip. Top guitar solo from Buck (RIP), jaunty (yet rather sexy) dancing from Natalie - and an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. Hearing her voice break towards the end of the song just reminds me how real and wonde...

I never got to see this band live - so I was unable to experience the energy shown in this vid. Typical 80s flaying of the long hair - the band all tired and glistening with sweat. Even the glorious Natalie looking oh so young and innocent. Great vid, great song, great memories.

Perfection is timeless. Done almost 30 years ago, yet still as fresh, vibrant and colourful as originally covered. Thanks for HD version, skv80rec. I still get chills when I hear this song, after so many years it just gets you ... 'THERE' ... yunno? As mentioned by so many - this cover version su...

IF I had to, at gun point, pick a favourite Cocteau Twins song... it could be this one. Pure, pure, perfection !!! Voice; Jangly Guitar; Melody; Atmosphere; Divine production. Gotta love it.

Sincere apologies for mentioning something that sparked a race thing. It was not intentional - It was merely an observation. I truly hope that SA will finally break the shackles of intolerance, and to all who are proudly optimistic - I genuinely salute you and hope that SA goes from strength to s...

Wow !!! What a song !!! First I've heard of their music - and it's an instant hit. Gonna buy me some of their stuff now....

Just ordered their debut album based on this song. Haunting, familiar, beautiful bluesy guitar.... impressive, most impressive.

World Record Holding song for the longest note in UK chart history... 20 seconds. This band is a true pop legend. I have HUGE respect for them.

My favourite Blur song, and it wasn't even on an original album, only their greatest hits. Festive, fast and fizzing with fun. And the title... Popscene... just says it all, really. I think they may have used the back drop for their Song 2 video as well. A reminder of how good music used to be be...

There is a melting pot of emotion in this song. Barbra exudes lust, desire, vulnerability, joy, peace, sex, and heart felt wonder that has rarely been equalled since. Her voice is darn near perfect and the notes she hits are extraordinary in their purest state. I'm a huge Radiohead fan, but I jus...

Ah, a band the British can still be so proud of. And a song that truly deserves the title of ...... Classic !!!

'Gotta get my teeth in you, necking is the thing to do' what a great line ! And not forgetting..... the best.... Dracula la la !!!!! Priceless. Music was such fun and festive in the 80s. Now I gotta be tortured by Adele; Lady GAG (yes, GAG!!!); Beyonce; Leona Lewis and other wet shitty female sin...

This is a teenage dance wonder !!! A true one hit wonder of extraordinary beauty.

One of the bands of my 'Teenage Kicks' years. They remind me of parties, hiking home, gorgeous women, booze and real sleazy dancing. Whether it was a house party or club ... I had such great times. This band still makes me ooze into their music even after +20 years. The urgency in this song is so...

. Will give it search. Thanks for the feedback.

. Hi, My name is Ian Brooke. Just read your comments.. Grace is my absolute favourite album of all time. Every song, including this one emotes the entire emotional spectrum, for me. It still pains me to think he (and his band) only made one official album, but it proves you don't need longevitiy ...

Just finished watching this vid. Forgotten just how beautiful Shania is. She's like a mature Cheryl Cole. Only sounds and looks SO much better. Man, I'm glad you feel like a woman too - cos you definitely look like the one. Hubba Hubba.

Thanks for the info, BullseyeMack. Much appreciated.

@Dmac11a666 Sill laughing... so f@cking funny ...

. I can't stop laughing at your comment. Hilarious !!!!

This song just moves me to want to be a better person. If we all had a little more tolerance the world may be a better place.

Try to find the amazing cover version of this song by This Mortal Coil... Sung by Liz Fraser formerly of Cocteau Twins. It's a superb version, original, sombre and just plain 'hits you in your solar plexus'. Hope to chat again soon. Take care.

I think it's purely within the individual, NovaScotiaChick. I get goosebumps with all music I love, it evokes different emotions depending on how I feel at the time. If this hits you in your solar plexus, who am I to argue? I usually shed a tear if something special comes along. I have 4 of Tim's...

Ghost Whisperer...

When Brendan introduces Robin, it brings a huge tear to my eye. I love this song and I love this version.

Yeah, he's still got it !!! Gonna watch more KEXP vids now. Thanks for this post.

Kenny, how sadly missed is his comic genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
