Used to love The Beloved.  Sang "It's alright now" to my baby son (now 27) as a lullaby.

Not the Skids' finest hour, although they were a great band.

I do have some sympathy with the cove in this advert though...

So true. Never got a word he was saying. A bit like early REM. You make up your own words to it.

[AppyDAZE]

The best album of the 80s, and it came out in the first year of the 1980s. XTC's Black Sea

Eat your heart out, Blur.

Reminds me of the time I was trying to teach the wife to remember the names of various football clubs' home grounds by way of cognitive word association techniques. True story, don't ask me why.

Anyway, we had Charlton Athletic - Charlton Heston - [sounds like] vest and pants - pants - skid marks - The Skids - Into The Valley.......................CHARLTON PLAY AT THE VALLEY!

Sooooo yeah anyway

Me and the Mrs were discussing whether they regret burning that £1million now. Not that they will earn much through streaming rights, wonder if they did a deal?

Blood & Chocolate by Elvis Costello - the album was released in about 1986 but is very far away from the stereotypical 80s sound.
