It kicks arse live.
As do the Mode themselves. Very entertaining; haven't seen them for years though; not since they decided to only play London and call it a UK tour, the gits.

I never 'Got' DM at the time...

I appreciate them a bit more now. I think that a few more years down the line I'll hear them again and think, 'fuck, they were good!'

I'm like that with bands quite a lot...btw: who are these 'Beatles' chaps I've heard about?

DM are shit. The Beatles are also shit.
Hope this helps.

Well I don't think any of us expected him to say that

He's right about the Beatles though.
Most overrated band ever.

I'd argue John Lennon as a solo artist is far worse for this
As are Nirvana

I'll bet you are.

What's your 'cup of tea'?
My latest find is a 70s obscurity called Leaf Hound and their sole LP 'Growers of Mushroom'. It's a kind of Free/Zeppelin/Purple kind of heavy rock record, with lovely vocals* and some decent guitar/organ workouts.

*I think the chap was also in Cactus, but this may be wrong.

OK then...

Before I say, please remember I am a crusty old scrote...But I rather like the musical stylings of the following beat combos:

Not in any particular order:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Manics, Ben Folds 5 (and his solo stuff), The Who, The Jam, Metallica (older stuff). Oh lorks, there's loads.

Monty may well explode at those
But I agree with you on a few of them. Metallica especially.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:38, Reply)

There's a new, remastered and expanded (by about four times)
'Live at Leeds' on the market, as a Who man you need this in your life.

I remember one version of this coming out about 10 years ago...

A mate bought it and brought it round my house. It was incredible - like raw energy in plastic form.

But I'm an immense tightwad so never bought a copy for myself.

I will investigate a purchase forthwith.

They do keep re-releasing it
but this latest one is worth having.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:53, Reply)

Of course it's not really my place to speak for anyone else...
But I'm fairly sure that Monty would recommend the lyrical wit and earthy humour of Ian Dury.

For some reason this has just reminded me
The other day in the pub, Nick Cave started playing on the jukebox. Sweet Jesus tittfucking Christ that guy is shit.

Just about any fucker you haven't heard of, basically.
And Hawkwind, Motorhead and 50's rock and roll.
