This great band don`t have a thread

So anyway , I`d rate this band as one of the most important British bands of the 80s alongside The Smiths & The Cure.Their influence is a lot bigger than most people seem to realise , there are a hell of a lot of indie bands over the last 15 years that name them as an influence (in fact Spiral Stairs of Pavement wrote the sleevenotes to their Crystal Days box set).They`re also one of the few bands to reform after a decade or so that still make good albums even now.

Oh and Ian McCulloch came out with my favourite ever quote about U2...

"Music for plumbers and bricklayers."

But that has nothing to do with me liking them you understand

I think they`re wonderful.
