That's another one yeah.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
You're So Vain is a monster good track, though.
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I'm quite firmly in Doc's camp on this. Honestly for me about (with some exceptions) the only saving grace of the 80 was bands like Dead Kennedys, MDC, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Minor Threat etc much of what we called hardcore at that time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 2:47pmIn that "80s Top 40 was wretched" kind of way.BitterTom wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 2:41pmHold the Line is excellent.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 2:20pmHardest of passes.

Totally, and the "I bet you think this song is about you" line is pretty genius when you think about it.

I saw them live before their first single was released they were great. Youthful punky energy with catchy songs a great cover of Little Bitch. All before Preston was on BB and their music came second to his celebrity bollocks.
