Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

[Heston]

How old were you, my dear Olaf, when you first heard Alternative Ulster?

Dear Heston,

14 maybe. Why?

The perfect age for it, surprised it didn't resonate.

How old were you, my dear Olaf, when you first heard Alternative Ulster?

Dear Heston,

14 maybe. Why?

I was 15 when I had Inflammable Material planted in my head.

15 again.

Yeah got a year in on the Buzzcocks.

78/79, great years to be 15. Nostalgia. And SLF were blistering on that tour, May 79.

Wow great stuff. I didn't get to see them until the following year at Friars, Aylesbury July. But at least I got on the Hanx! album.

Yeah I think I didn’t see them until 1980 but saw several shows 80/81 before they split in April.

When will people realise Now Then is the thinking man's SLF album? Add the £1.10 Or Less EP and Good For Nothing and you have one hell of a record of SLF in 1982. To me it's one of those albums that just doesn't put a note wrong. Perfect pop punk in a good way.

I agree I think it's a cracking album. Moving Away from the more obvious punk sound yet retaining an edge.

"Too Much Too Young" is way too slow in its album incarnation for me.

Hello,

It's a bit different rhythm granted - but that's one thing I'd consider a plus rather than a minus. Lyrically, it's so good and important.
