Setting Sons for me but only by a shade from AMC.

Can't believe I used to really be into Sham 69. Just relistened to That's Life and, well it's crap. Evil Way is god awful. "I want to get my end away, I want to get my end away, I wanna have my evil way." Followed by Carry On style "Cor, handsome ain't it? Phwoar, look at the pair on that." Etc. Pretty grim.

I like their earlier stuff.

Borstal Breakout is a good punk tune but that's as far as I'd go.

Not a fan of Sham at all.
Questions and Answers was decent.

Yeah, I still like Sham 69. Good street punk.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I've got all Sham's albums and there is lots to like. ''Evil Way'' is supposed to make you feel like that mate. It's not written from the singers point of view but the kid who loses his job etc in the story (concept). Sham get lambasted all the time for the basic approach to everything but they were talking to the man in the street more than most. I'm not supporting the lyrics they are indeed ''evil'' but you have to take them in the correct context they were produced. The 70s were a lot tougher than today in my opinion. Kids tended to be less cowardly and didn't carry weapons like now.BitterTom wrote: ↑23 Apr 2019, 4:52amCan't believe I used to really be into Sham 69.

Totally forgot it was a concept album. That makes more sense then, never saw it this way, cheers for clarification.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Apr 2019, 9:46amI've got all Sham's albums and there is lots to like.

Ah being born in 91 I didn't see it in 1978 context, fair point mate.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I've never been a big fan but this list pretty much covers what I would listen to. I have an album somewhere that picked up for next to nothing and I've listened to it next to never.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Apr 2019, 7:49amHurry Up Harry
