Rubbish.
Pretty sure I read a review (Maybe in Q magazine) saying a greatest hits album could be a single on repeat because they all sound exactly the same. No idea if it's true, I only ever heard "Big Country" (the single)
Or did I?
Or did I?
Still remain one of the best bands, I`ve ever seen live and still one of my favourite bands.
Criminally underated.
A lot of the music press liked to sneer at them mate, as even when the Crossing ( their first album ) went to number one, some of the music press continued to put them down, deeming them to be unfashionable and uncool.
The bass player - Tony Butler, was one of the best in the business ( imo ) and their gigs, where legendary. Just massive parties with music.
The drummer - Mark Brezicki - played for the Cult at the same time and was on the drums, on the legendary Love album.
That's fair enough, I honestly can't remember anything they did beyond the self titled single. (which was catchy enough)
I'll give "The Crossing" a listen on Spotify over the weekend.
One of their best albums, for a first time listen is :
Without the Aid of a Safety Net.
It’s a live recording, of a legendary gig in Glasgow.
All the hits and it really captures the atmosphere of them at their peak.

Heard a podcast with a Labour MP recently that's in a band called mp4 with the former keyboard player from runrig and 2 others (all mps).
Sons of Dunfermline which them Fifers, and it’s Fifers who are the weirdest folk in the whole of Scotland. Big fan.
He was ok in college but never an NBA player. Good on him getting paid though.

Chance is a Fantastic tune.
That's not good when you've just lost half a scratcher.
