Maybe it was the era he came from. Indelibly embedded into the fabric of music and popular culture of his era was an anti-rock star edge. Maybe that is part of what makes that era so great, that people like Julian Cope and many of his contemporaries never became bloated, boring old farts. it was ...

@31danique I envy you. That is my favourite musical time and place. Would have given anything to have been in Liverpool at that time.

@someblokecalledchris I agree. I would be even more specific and say 1979 and 1980, from Liverpool, Manchester, and Leeds.My absolute favourites. Teardrop Explodes are right up there with my favourites, and Kilimanjaro is right up there with the best debut albums of all time.

Pauline Murray, Girls at our Best, the Mo-Dettes..great female musical talents from a great era in indie music. (yes, I know GAOB only had a female singer, the rest of the band were guys..but I think you get my point..) All were tragically under played and under appreciated. They never resorted t...

that haunting keyboard riff still mesmerizes me. This was the golden age of indie music... 1979 to 1981. Music had grown beyond punk, but had not yet became the commercialized, big-hair cliched '80s. 1980... To me they will always be ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK not OMD. I suspect the name O...

@hiphopuk123 I agree, and George Best was on my list. Unfortunately he got distracted in the '60s, by beautiful women and booze, but even so he was still one of the greatest ever. I have heard it said that if George Best had been born ugly, and a few years later, we would not be talking about Pe...

I remember they were originally called ‘A Box of Fish with Tartare Sauce’. At that time (early ‘80s) I can remember a take away food shop on Devonshire Street Surry Hills that had on the menu just that, ‘a box of fish with tartare sauce’. As Surry Hills would have been the area that this band fre...

Like most bands of that era, I liked their early stuff the best. this song is their best one of all, in my opinion

Michael Moore won that hands down, he is a hero. It is great to see how logic can defeat mindless conservative stupid patriotism. Now, if only he could debate Glen Beck. Deflate that pompous fool as well.

I can remember this band from the early '80s. i only ever heard 'there goes concorde again' so I'm really pleased you have posted these other songs. Would you happen to have 'Ken thought I might say rotary' by The Night the Goldfish died? Now, I would really love to get hold of that one again. An...

@ClueSign Yes I can identify completely. I too had black pegged pants and winkle pickers and truly loved this song. I wonder do young people today get as much out of their music as we did in our day?
