Posted April 14, 200817 yr http://www.theordinaryboys.com - Now a Preston site with a blog Well I knew it was coming but it's sad to see it confirmed :( I've had so many happy memories because of them and even made a lot of friends because of them (not to mention being given my 2 seconds of fame because of them :P ) Over The Counter Culture will definitely go down with quite a few people as one of the most underated albums of this decade particularly me but after everything went downhill so much I'm glad Preston has got himself sorted and hopefully we shall see a good solo album from him this year. ^_^
April 14, 200817 yr who cares. as soon as that prick went on big brother they became completly $h!te.
April 14, 200817 yr Woah! Thats a bit harsh. Their song after BB was good and the one with Lady Soverign was good too. Shame i suppose.
April 15, 200817 yr I'm really sad, I loved Ordinary Boys. Though a solo album from Preston will be good, it shouldn't sound too much different should it? I mean, he was the one who did all the singing anyway!
April 15, 200817 yr Utter w***, zeitgeist-chasing sell-outs. They split well over a year ago didn't they? This just means Preston's solo career is being planned meticulously by suits.
April 15, 200817 yr There first album was good, there second album was alright but then got ruined by the commercial success of BB, and the third was f***ing awful. If he never went on BB they would still be together making ska influenced music and i would still love them. A Greatest Hits would be terrible, and a Sam Preston solo album would just be taking the p*** it would be so c**p.
April 15, 200817 yr Bit of a shame tbh, but the 3rd album was poor compared to the brilliant 1st and very good 2nd :( I remember buying Brassbound on the day he went into the BB house, didn't have a clue he was going in at the time either :lol:
April 15, 200817 yr i remember the tragicness of someone asking me if i liked The Ordinary Boys, and at the time i loved them so i replied saying i loved them and then i wa slike wait how the f*** do you know abut The Ordinary Boys, and they told me to shut up and i had only heard of them through Big Brother, i was just like, what the f*** about big brother, i didnt even know at the time he was on there, annoyed the hell out of me.
April 15, 200817 yr tis a shame :o :( really liked em, hopefully Preston can come out with some good solo material though

Utter w***, zeitgeist-chasing sell-outs. They split well over a year ago didn't they? This just means Preston's solo career is being planned meticulously by suits. well there was talk of chris difford from sqeeze writing for him - to get that squeeze/madness/ian dury vibe i guess - tho dont know whats come of it http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/416SFRS286L._AA240_.jpg
April 18, 200817 yr Shame, I actually did quite like their last album. That was quick. :huh: *skips away quickly*
April 18, 200817 yr Yeah, I'm not surprised in the slightest by this, however, I only really liked their stuff post-Big Brother, for example, Lonely At The Top and 9 to 5 but they had potential but they wasted thier one opportunity. CBB definetly was the final nail in the coffin, only the single sold well, the album still struggled even with the exposure. TBH, a greatest hits would be pointless and, as others have mentioned, a solo album would be a really really bad idea!!!!
April 19, 200817 yr Woah! Thats a bit harsh. Their song after BB was good and the one with Lady Soverign was good too. Shame i suppose. I think that was the same song :huh: . Anyway im not overly fussed, they had a few nice songs
April 21, 200817 yr TBH, a greatest hits would be pointless and, as others have mentioned, a solo album would be a really really bad idea!!!! but who owns the rights to most of their material? if its Warners then i guess that a cheap Platinum Edition record would be out in a few weeks (seeing as the darkness ones already out) - if the rights have reverted to Universal (depending on whether they have bought B-Unique out-right) then i guess it would be sometime else
