After that song was banned by the BBC, they played it at every gig, right up to the very end.Originally Posted by Conor74
Speaking of Killing an Arab, how about a compilation of songs 'banned' during the Gulf war (pt1)
Something Happens - Parachute
Bangles - Walk like an Egyptian
Desmond Dekker - Israelites
Phil Collins - In the air tonight
Anything by Bomb the Bass
Anything by Massive attack
Carter USM - Bloodsports for all
Doors - Light My Fire
A-ha - Hunting high and low
Staring at the Sea is an early singles collection. Granted it still has Boys Don't Cry, Inbetween Days and Lovecats; it also has Play for today and some other good songs - A forest, Charlotte sometimes.
In fairness Marr & Morrissey made them
Is Electronica still on the go? I remember Marr having a stint in The The, but haven't heard much from him since then
The Cure -Fire in Cairo
Shaggy - Mr Bombastic
Gloria Gayner - It's Raining Men (well limbs, arms etc..)
Rage Against The Machine- Killing in the Name Of.
WAR ON TERROR???? am i right??
What the hell is wrong with Inbetween Days? It has the immortal lyric "Well I know I was wrong when I said it was true that it couldn't be me or be her in between without you" all sung in one breath.
Agree with you about The Smiths - most over-rated band in history. When it comes to Manchester and the 80s nobody comes near the mighty New Order.

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
I always thought of the Cure as second rate but harmless, in between days is a great New Order rip off!
The Smiths,New Order, The Fall, Princesstinymeat,Stump......I could go on for hours!
You forgot to mention The Jesus and Mary Chain. Psychocandy is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
useless trivia:the guitar on the "father ted" theme music is neil hannon (divine comedy)playing one of the reid brothers guitars(from jesus & mary) as it has a special sound out of it

Much later 80's circa 89 ish...............agreed tho........stone roses were great......the manchester sound at that time was great with happy mondays, teh charlatans, inspiral carpets etc....
Think The Charlatans were from the west midlands, except for Tim Burgess who is from Altringham or somewhere spelt like that.

It was the keyboard player, Rob Collins, who is sadly deceased now, after being killed in a car crash.

Never mind Manchester,Cork was the real home of music in the eighties!( suckin up to the natives!)
Microdisney,Stump,5 go down to the sea,....typical I can't think of anymore!
Two of the Carpets are from Oldham afaik, including Clint Boon hence the Oldham Band thing. Rest are Mancs.
The Charlatans - Burgess was born in Manch, grew up in Northwich (Manc overspill). Rob Collins is from Manchester. The rest are from North Midlands, previously in various mod bands.
Brown and Squire were from Timperley, which is close enough to Altrincham, so that's where that might have come from.
Surprised at you Conor, for a big dance head, slagging off something that Mike Pickering was involved with. (Still shíte though).
Mick Hucknall, what a untc.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Macy - Who's Timperley's most famous son? Frank Sidebottom. Now there's a real star, none of your Stone Roses nonsense.
As for Mick Hucknall, you're right he a total cnut but he has one redeeming feature. Him and his manager set up Blood & Fire Records which is one of the best Reggae reissue labels there is. Without Blood & Fire there'd be loads of great stuff which would have been lost forever. Still a cnut though.

Frank Sidebottom, now your talking real music; particularly fond of his cover of 'I should be so lucky'.. was always dragged out for Match of the Day when Altringham were in the Third round of the FA Cup. Also he was on 'Hit the North' with Mark and Lard when they started on Radio 5. Fcuking hilarious.

He was banned from Alty, as he was bad luck (must have kept going, minus head considering where they're languishing around now). Only a glory hunter anyway, ditching Timperley Big Shorts every time Alty had a cup run. Used to go a few Altrincham games (and also a few Bury games), some great games in the early rounds of the Cup - Clive Freeman against Chester* (when they were still a league team) won Goal of the Month. Sad to see their demise when the likes of Macc went on to the league (Alty were always the better club!).
Conference football would want to have improved since I last saw it, if people are claiming the eL premier is below that standard.
*btw The Deva Stadium in Chester would be a good model for eL teams IMO. Nice compact, simple 6,000 capacity. Standing at the two ends, seats down the two sides.
