I want to change my vote to Sound Affects after some reflection. I originally went SS - but SA has some really great songs and it's probably a bit underrated as it followed SS. The live set included in Fire & Skill from just before SA was released is a monster, too. Live - the songs sounded really incredible. Set the House Ablaze is particular highlight.

Fantastic song, the riff is perfect. The 7 dwarf style whistling just ruins it for me though.

I think Marky and I were at the same gig in that tour in Bracknell!!
SA is great but it just doesn’t have the raw energy that makes AMC so great with songs like A Bomb and Tube Station.

Yep, big fan of the song despite the blatant rip off. There's no whistling in it though so that's a plus.

I fucking LOVE whistling in songs. I also love flutes.

I'm glad Marky remembered this fact.

Whistle! I remember their disastrous support slot with BAD at Newcastle Tiffanys in 1986. The punks weren't ready for it at all!
