I get that the name is hard to spell, but not that hard
Where are the obligatory WHAT
I've never identified more with lyrics than with the Frightened lyrics, maybe only One Of the Millions by XTC. I'm 100% sober btw.
Naggers?
millions is definitely the best song on O&L. Always reminded me of billions from D&W
I read all of All Too Human and still can't spell it
Chud
XTC is gay
Even as his brain was melting from a lifetime of alcohol and amphetamine abuse, he could pull off an inscrutably genius line like "99% of nonsmokers die." youtube.com
wow
Too bad the music is boring
yeah, it really went downhill after Hanley left
The group still released great music after that: The Marshall Suite, The Unnuterable, Country On The Click, Imperial Wax Solvent, Your Future Our Clutter, Sublingual Tablet. No other group have a discography so solid.
Marshall is good, COTC has some good songs, but the magic was gone. They went from good cover to cover albums like levitate to diamond in the rough mines.
Roots Manuva rip off.

What a pseud. No wonder his music sucked so much.
The Fall are allowed to rip off music. youtube.com
My favorite example.
*slowed down dbeat drum machine starts up*

the musical equivalent of black pudding plays
HERE COME THE OBLIGATORY NIGGERS
*cheats on Brix with underage bong*
Heh, nothing personnel.
teeth fall out from meth
Wow. Bravo, MES
AN WHEN EH CAAWMS
IT'S GOTTERDAMMERAWNG
Nietzsche is based
Name a musician who was this level of punk but also made good and artistic songs

You don’t know jack. If you had said speed and alcohol I would give a shit.
Forty years later and people are still seething that he said a bad word once.
Over the top and inaccurate but excessively detailed descriptions of bands that "suck" are written by fans. They understand outrage bait is way more effective than saying "I like them :)" Hope this helps
underrated
I always like how he dressed up for performances.

XTC is GreAYt
ah
>*cheats on Brix with underage bong*
this was debunked
He was pretty effay, especially during the Brix years.
Shane MacGowan
I always thought of him as more anti-fashion
He just released a couple of good albums in the 80's and then turned into irrelevancy in musical terms
I think the achievement should go to the people who can read the NME who read it from cover to cover
Immaculate
they got more out of him than any version of the Fall in their last 15 years
I saw The Fall live a couple times but I always remember seeing him in the crowd at a John Carpenter concert a couple years before he died. He was like 5 feet tall and had a massive grin on his face.
According to the postman
It's like the bleeding Bank of England
Some of his stuff with the popes is actually pretty good but not as good as the best with the pogues of course. You didn't say he had to be as prolific in terms of production as MES when very little artists have that much output
turn that bloody blimey space invader off-ah
miss this lil goblin, amazed he even made it to 60 though
the guy fell off the wagon hard around 97/98 (Levitate, sacking Scanlon and Hanley, tax problems) and never recovered. Wasn’t even 40 yet.
it looked to be all over for him, then somehow A Touch Sensitive gets on a car advert that ran for years
based commie kept paying his band members instead of sacking them
very little artists have that much output
and with such a great level. That's why MES disappearance was a real tragedy not only for rock music but music in general.
