I bet you know more of their songs than you realise. I bet if you played their greatest hits lots of their songs would be familiar.
Absolutely. They have done loads of good stuff. Have you heard a track called Walter? I only heard this one recently and love it.
Great lyrics. Lots of their songs are great little stories with good lyrics.I listened to them for a bit last night. I do remember Lola too. Funny song. "Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy, but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine."![]()
You sound like a man after my own heart. I love a long car journey blasting out the tunes.No I haven't heard that one, I really just know the main hits. They seem pretty underrated really but I guess with a lot of the other music coming out in the 60s they had a lot of competition.
Will listen to Walter when I'm on my next country run for work, always enjoy the long drives through the bush with the music blasting.

Pulp are great. Try the smiths if you want good lyrics.A lot of English bands have great lyrics I find. They can make great songs about everyday life somehow.
For something more modern and in a different style but with the same sort of lyrics and vibe you should listen to Pulp or The Streets too.

British radio is crap too has been since the end of the 90s for me. I do like some American bands. I love the pixies and the dandy warhols.Man, my old housemate was obsessed with them. She had the whole collection on vinyl, surprised she hadn't worn them all out. I always liked them but she was on another level, I could always tell how her love life was going by what smiths song was on high rotation!
I was watching some of the Glastonbury festival a few weeks back and saw johnny Marr and the killers doing this charming man which I thought was pretty cool.
Like you said a few posts back, I don't find much modern music I like these days. Australian radio doesn't help, you would think we were in America from what they play all day.
