Just my opinion, like. At least I didn't choose Shed 7 or Oasis.

The way I look at it is: while the quality control isn't as strong as it was from 77-82, if you consider any artist you care to mention and then stack up how much good stuff they did (by their own criteria, irrespective of who they are) vs how much good stuff The Fall have produced - well The Fall win hands down. QED.

Not that I personally would Cappo (they leave me cold) but I reckon you could say "King Crimson win hands down" by those very criteria.

No doubt in my mind at all.

I've been worrying some friends lately by telling them that I've lost any last vestige of a critical faculty where the Fall are concerned. All their albums are great and every gig is fantastic. I know that it doesn't make sense, but I can't see it any other way. I don't feel like that about any other group, band or artist. Not Dylan, not even Beefheart and I don't even mind 'Bluejeans and Moonbeams'.


The Fall are the greatest musical act of all time!!!

Gone off them.

is it over to Enya then :o

:lol:

elvischomsky has turned...BURN 'IM!!! :devil:

One of the enduring memories of the printed word of my youth was the legend found written on fireworks
"Light fuse retire quickly"
I would prefer not to goad ElvisChomsky because I can't win a dispute with him and don't want him stirred up....let's just leave him to enjoy Enya and the Percy Faith Strings and John Tesh and we'll tiptop around him. That's what I hope to do.

Sorry. It just dawned on me this morning that everyone else had been right all along; it's a racket, and that funny-looking chap can't sing for toffee.

Me? Don't even like music anymore....noise with rhythm? What's the deal with that? I like the rustling of leaves and am hoping for an electrical storm.

They're OK I suppose. ;)

I haven't voted yet - the question is to difficult. :P

They're certainly my favourite group. Nothing else matters to me past that opinion.

yes

Nope.

No, coz there is no such thing.

Kinda 2 questions aint it. Definitely best group I'm aware the world has ever seen. As a rabid fan more of the Hanley/Scanlon period, I'm not so sure it is always present tense. But partly that's because I don't have a band-following mindset anymore. I wanna hear more music as i get older, regardless of who by, what category, how popular or where/when produced.
But in my experience the Fall have been the group that has never sold out, got boring, been outmoded, got lazy or too predictable or unreliable, or that i wished to ignore.
And they STILL have the ability to make everything else seem a little trivial and unexciting.
The best, then.

Is that Creed?

What is the last song they wrote?
And was it about Jesus or surfing?

methinks the epithet "dude" might appear as well.

:rolleyes:

Christ they look as though they'd have as much to say about my life as Sarah Palin. Or an insect (same thing). Dude (with apologies to jeff bridges).

God only knows... :rolleyes:

THE FALL are in a different LEAGUE!



YOU know it makes sense!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! I know...I know...I know... :rolleyes:

:lol: :applaud:

Big Fonz!

Put that finger away. You don't know where it's been.

THE FALL NEEDS YOU!

What's the difference between Paul Weller's audience and The Fall's?

PW's audience are generally 40+, balding and mortgaged and deliriously happy to be in the company of likeminded fans. Lots of hugging, raucous singalongs, tears when he plays a Jam song etc. The audience for The Fall may look similiar to a PW audience but the Fall audience is slightly embarrassed about being in the same room together and there is a tendency to shun each other.

That's why they are the greatest group. :lol:

Surely any antropologist worth his salt knows that the typical Fall audience is in fact made up predominantly of 18 year-old miners.

you seem to know a lot about Paul Wellers' audience. How is that?

<_<

:lol:

He was on tv the other night.

:finger:

THE FALL ROCK!!!

Gone off them again.

Was it something I said?

Not really. More generally, I started getting this feeling that everyone who likes them is a bit of a spaz.

...and middle class.

You're obsessed. Obsessed!
