This I think is one of his absolute best.

5 Iconic albums turning 40. (1985).

Brothers In Arms is a solid album but is nowhere near as good as Making Movies.

Haven't seen this in years but I dug out my old VHS copy of Mondo New York and remembered how much I love this song.

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Oi Oi Oi

Blitz had their moments. Highlight was the 90-second blast of Never Surrender.

Precisely what constitutes Punk Rock is a moot point. With that caveat, I reckon the US had a clear advantage over the UK in the 80s. We delivered diminishing returns from football-terrace shoutalong Oi bands. They produced Husker Du, Descendents, Minor Threat, Government Issue, augmented by myriad less renowned talents.

This one is for the Hammers fans.A bit of old school football hooliganism


Dammit. I forgot to turn the age filter off.

Nothing definitive in this post re who or what.

Educated guess - Cockney Rejects

Not sure if you’re a Bryan Ferry or Roxy Music fan but found this cover of Robert Palmer’s Johnny & Mary.

I find it absolutely stunning.

Should have covered Hey Little Girl and claimed it was the original. Court case would have been interesting.

Most of the Oi bands are pretty forgettable but the one exception has to be the 4 Skins. They had a stack of really great songs.

Fanfare for the taxpayers of Montreal.

Considering he said it was for Hammers fans then I would say your guess of Cockney Rejects is spot on the money.

Right Here Right Now by Fatboy Slim has been used for what seems like millennia to soundtrack video ref deliberations in Super League.

Hence it's now forever associated with painstaking exercises in obsessive compulsive paranoia.

Wasn't expecting to see a Big Black number posted. Steve Albini sadly passed away last year. Can remember reading in the music press that he would be working with the Pixies. Seemed an ideal match. Case proven when the record was released.

My vinyl copy of Surfer Rosa sounds ten times better than the CD reissue. One of three albums in 1988 which upon first hearing went straight into my all-time top ten where they have remained ever since. Other two were Daydream Nation and 16 Lovers Lane.

A lot of people associate this Alan Parsons classic with Jordan and the Bulls but Ricky was using it before they did.
