Mistletoe and Wine? Or Saviours Day? Either way - the bain of my childhood! Give me Iron Maiden please!! I always thought they were the ultimate sign of rebellion - all the cool kids listened to Iron Maiden!
Do you remember first hearing “Killing In The Name”? My jaw was on the floor!!

Dear bands
Can you please play your big hit first. In that way, the people who paid to see you, but couldn’t care less about the rest of your material, are then free to leave. You will likely find a more receptive crowd afterwards!

I got into trouble for saying I preferred Fun Boy Three’s version! Not sure if @themusicnation.bsky.social has forgiven me just yet…

Not at all! It happens all the time! I remember after Elbow won the Mercury Prize and started playing arenas - along came the mainstream who chatted incessantly until that song!
I think bands should play the hit first - then that lot can bugger off and leave us to enjoy the rest of the gig!!

That was unbearable! From experience - I have two sisters - played it incessantly! But Nevermind was round the corner - I got my revenge!
Was it U2 that knocked him off if I recall. The Fly? Which I quite liked!

You never hear bottles and car bonnets being used as percussion anymore!
He looks like an interesting, spindly character - although I’d be warding him off with the double bass - get your hands away from me - I don’t know where they have been 😂. I’m a germ free adolescent!!

Underworld still absolutely brilliant live - last saw them in 24 in Manchester - still glorious and euphoric!
Loved Dreadzone - not had the opportunity to see them live. John Peel was a fan - he always played their music. Of course, Little Britain still puts a massive smile on my face!

I spent part of that gig thinking - you’ve paid £35 to stand in a room talking! The couple from Manchester - they travelled to Liverpool!! Chat, chat, chat 😳
They played Moisturizer in its entirety - it’s their new album! They aren’t just going to keep playing the first album!!

It was everywhere wasn’t it! Your aversion to this is mine to the Macarena 😂😂.
Although, from the TOTP repeats from 1996 - I can see why people liked it! You’ll still never see me do the Macarena - Saturday Night on the other hand - all day every day 😂🙌🏻

Hasn’t dated at all has it! I have to thank The Stone Roses at Reading Festival 96 for not being at their best (ie sick of hearing people moaning about it!) that I headed to the tent to see Underworld instead. The first time I experienced a mass rave! Of course this being the highlight! 🙌🏻

I’ve got a couple of Einstürzende Neubauten albums - came to them through Blixa Bargeld being in the Bad Seeds.
I haven’t got anything by Fad Gadget admittedly.
