My all-time favourite band, innit
Funnily enough I was asked for my favourite album the other day and cited The Real Thing. Not sure if this is necessarily accurate without protracted scientific analysis, but it's certanly the closest thing to a perfect album I've ever heard (in terms of not having a single duff track)

and meeting them at Our Price in Newcastle. Signed 12" of From Out Of Nowhere

Just to clear a few things up here
The Real Thing is one of the best albums of all time - better than Angel Dust. A complete ground-breaker.

I've seen FNM 3 times - the first time in the Edinburgh Venue (about the size of my garden shed) in 1990 (I think). I stood next to 'Big Sick Ugly' Jim Martin in the gents' kharzi. A huge bloke with a 10-gallon hat, leather waistcoat and sheriff's badge, standing having a piss with his hands on his hips. A cool guy.

I await some imaginative strikethroughs for this.
