for the life of me, I have no idea why I picked Joy Division over Jesus and Mary Chain

 

[iron yuppie]

Probably because Joy Division is the superior band.

iTunes not working as part of this pathetic Apple update so unable to research properly

 

[martha]

Man, every day (almost) I'm happy I skipped the last few itunes updates.

 

[cobl04]

T Travis

Things of Stone and Wood are not happy

 

[intedomine]

They were bloody close but the Scots are my second favourite artist so it was a tough ask.

I think the lead singer from TOSAW is now a teacher at NMiT. Makes me want to enrol in a class or three there!

 

[cobl04]

Ha! All I could think to ask him would be about TLS.

"At least it rhymes with Moorabbin..."

 

[lemonfly]

Seeing a lot of shouts for Queen. By all accounts, they were live legends and their singles collections are fucking insane. But god damn, A Night At The Opera is the only album of theirs I can listen to all the way through. They made unbelievably shit albums.
