Been a few incarnations, but always good. First heard them on C81, Fanfare in the Garden.

Woo - best first 4 songs of any LP I can think of at the moment.

NOT CRAP

"John Foxx era: Not Crap. Midge Ure era: Crap. "

That's right. But the crapness of Midge outweighs any good points of John Foxx, so-

In 1976 they're the freshest bread on the shelf, kicking seven shades of shit out of The Albion Dance Band and Poco.

In 'End of the Century' don't they say this was the inspiration for Blitzkreig Bop?

Fantastic song.

But obviously not one for the serious rock retards.

There's this bloke going round calling himself 'Les Paul'.

Hahahahahahaha

Tosser.
