good results though I'd prefer Buzzcocks over Undertones get the other spot, Love You More is a minor gem. B-)

So good that a band took their name from the lyrics. Anyone else remember The Razorcuts?

Shame.

 

A rather underrated Indie act from the mid/late 80s: on Creation for a while. Obviously John Peel loved them.

Heard of 'em but not sure if I've heard 'em. If they were on one of the Creation Soup compilations then I will have :)
