Greetings everyone

[SquashedFly]

Ridiculed for liking the cure? As Ush says, there's a lot of it about. While im in no way shape or form a curehead, i do go back twenty three or so years too- earlier maybe, to the first time i heard lovecats on super channel in the mid 80s. I think a fair few here have spent considerable time mumbling gloomily while staring at their shoes and swaying in darkened nightclubs- I know i have.
Anyway, no one's going to slap you down for any musical tastes here.

haha well like I have mentioned before, safe to say this is the place for me

I never thought anyone would have a go seriously, maybe the odd ribbing but if that was the case all in good fun. I've just always expected least a mixed response once its out my favourite band is fronted by an adult man wearing lipstick and hair like a birdsnest while singing about despair and the like, but then again I'm on a 2000 AD site, I shouldnt be that surprised if there are others

Except maybe Commando Forces. But then, he likes Jedward. Seriously, he really does.

Ice ice baby.

I think the less said about that abomination the better 

SquashedFly you seem to have ignited the boarders on your first go, that's a good omen - welcome to here - !

I hope so, as long as no one gets burnt

I had forgotten about Creaming Jesus.They were from Bexhill just along the road from Hastings.

Dreadful.

I remember grafitti around Hastings town centre at the time [1987-1988] that said either Creaming Jesus and/or "Bexhill Bible Bastards" 

[House of Usher]

My gerbils didn't like that, and nor did I! There are far too many covers of A Forest, and I don't even like the original, much less would I want to dance to it (any version) in a club.

It took me a while to appreciate the original recorded version, for me its always been a song thats better live. The Peel session version is miles better as well. But I agree there are too many, hadnt heard that one before though.
