Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Just looked through an old box of my cassettes. Remember those things, all that tape? This is what I found:
The Clash Combat Rock
Modern English After the Snow
The Smiths Meat is Murder
The Cure Standing on a Beach
Balaam & the Angel The Greatest Story Ever Told
General Public Hand to Mouth
Midnight Oil Diesal and Dust

Mott the Hoople!!!! LMAO That is really EBG!! Got any Marc Bolan or T-Rex in that box of yours?
It amazes how bands I liked way back when stand the test of time, and most of them were British...that was a wonderful era for music, and I was lucky enough to live in an area that played what we called British New Wave on the radio. When I moved from Arizona....Boo! The east coast music didn't include the Brit wave! Now that truly sucked.
Got Combat Rock on right now...It rocks like a son of bitch! Now I know why when it turned 1990 I just never took that step ... I'm still in the '80's.
It was for me too Wish someone would get cracking on a time machine to send me back for a visit. One of the happiest times of my life.
I agree about The Clash BP, Combat Rock
One of the greatest bands ever.

This is the 80s isn't it? It's certainly everywhere you look now. They've even opened an 80s pub in York, apparently. And have you seen the price of Simple Minds' greatest hits! Their Early Gold was very reasonably priced and probably much better.

The only bands I despise more than The Clash are Dexy's Midnight Runners and A Flock of Seagulls.
Flock Of Seagulls - Agreed.
The Clash - Well ... Yeah, they seemed quite fond of the States after all didn't they. But then so does Eldritch.
Dexy's - COME ON MUGABE!
Mind you, last time I looked in 'the box in the attic full of tapes' I pulled out Mott The Hoople.
Live On Broadway 1974.
I need to hear that tape Johnny

weren't Dexy's a bit of 80s irony/wit that I missed? they sounded like a bunch of chancers to me. Come On Eileen is good for one thing.... a porn movie title, the song gets switched off anytime it pops on Chateau B'last's wireless.
Good call BP

Train in Vain, London Calling, Rock the Casbah, Straight to Hell ...Classics all.
Shame on you Mugabe!
Well, let's just say that if I want white, no-talent, el cheapo-reggae, I'd rather put on a UB40 record. Classics? So is Joyce's "Ulysses". Enjoyed that one?
Wasn't it A Flock Of Seagulls who did 'Wishing'? What a choon, whoever it was.
I feel compelled to dive off into the garage and dig out some very bizarre old tapes, but it's too late and far too cold in there right now. However, for a fact I know that I have the Balaam tape. Probably sat next to something by Claytown Troupe, or even worse, The m*****n. Sorry, I was young.

Have to admit to being a big fan of that one. Never went as far as buying a pair of dungarees though. While I'm at it, I guess Tears For Fears and that mob who did the 'why are you up there you say/ why are you down there I say' song will cost me a few Hail Maries.

I could never get this adoration for the brit new wave thing so many people seem to have, it was so bad it hurts

I wouldn't say i despise them, but i couldn't stand any of them, especially The Clash. Should i stay or should i go? For f**k sake, just go already and shut up about it, that's all i could think everytime i heard that song. I liked London Calling though.

Goddamn! Rage In Eden is quality, title track especially
