So who else is a fan of these 90's icons??

Top stuff!

[miniandy]

Me. They do a good version of The Darkness - I Believe in a thing called love which i stumbled across one evening!

[Ahonen]

Strangely yes, I rather liked them. Their type of music wouldn't generally be my cup of tea, but I have the Whatever and ever Amen album and it's very enjoyable.

Top Band, Whatever and Ever Amen is a brilliant Album and often gets played when I'm taking the Saab on a long drive.

ooooooooooh sht!

I like something Vixpy1 likes...

Yup awesome band - BF's solo stuff is pretty bloody fantastic too (he even duets with John Mcrae from Cake on Fred Jones Part II.

Wonderful stuff!

Only ever managed to grab a couple of singles many moons ago, but "brick" and "army" were excellent.

Must pop into HMV this afternoon... :P

IMHO, Whatever and Ever Amen was the finest - but actually, they're all sooo good, you should buy them all!

[pentoman]

Yes, excellent.

A lot of fun live as well, which I wouldn't expect from a pianist!!

Agreed, a great band, and a talented pianist. 'Army' is one my favourite tunes:

So, I thought about the army,

Yep - great, unique and refreshing band, even now.

Particularly like 'Brick'. And that one that goes...

GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK, YOU BITCH!

Really? I was never really able to decipher it - dunno what it's about.

The rather depressing experience of going through the process of an abortion with one's girlfriend...

[titiany]

oh.

It makes sense now - thanks

I've been wondering about that for years.
