October 3, 200816 yr Underworld's most uninspired moment... now if it'd have been Dark and Long...... a different matter. The Specials hands down.
October 3, 200816 yr The Specials. Can the Sundays be put next with the original classic Here's Where The Story Ends and not that generic hit cover? ^_^
October 3, 200816 yr Author Underworld's most uninspired moment... now if it'd have been Dark and Long...... a different matter. The Specials hands down. TBH anything from DubnoBass... is better than Born Slippy but I thought that was their best known track.
October 4, 200816 yr TBH anything from DubnoBass... is better than Born Slippy but I thought that was their best known track. well i guess it depends if you live in Australia or not :lol: :lol: :lol:.... O5vQP_RFccY Underworld - Underneath The Radar :lol: :lol: btw my fave records by those squigidly monikered doot doot men (to give them their full name :lol: ) o_bGZ4ohjDE Underworld - Two Months Off 4nRNoXT_gUc Underworld - Push Upstairs If the specials win next think it should be against My Lovely Horse next :lol: 8linZiGYSeE well at least The Divine Comedy - Songs Of Love then!!!! zPPi58K6wZs
October 4, 200816 yr if The Specials win again... I'd like to see them up against maybe one of Terry Hall's other bands..... Fun Boy Three released some fabulous singles (as did Colourfield...and his solo stuff)... or maybe another 2-Tone act? The Selecter, The Beat...?

Fun Boy Three released some fabulous singles (as did Colourfield...and his solo stuff)... or maybe another 2-Tone act? The Selecter, The Beat...? was watching some old chansons this morning - including Charles Aznavour's She...and then brought up the Vegas version of She..much better than Elvis Costello's reading which should be avoided at all cost...and even tho the Vegas video is ruined by the introduction of Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics...it a good video and one which you could shed a tear to if you were feeling emotional... FaJBDyXM3TE Terry Hall - She promo (Vegas) however could put the specials up against some moaning Annie Lennox touture...as some people seem to like her output...maybe even No More I Love You's :puke2:
October 4, 200816 yr I voted for The Specials (again), I guess either The GoGos or Fun Boy Three's version of the Jane Wiedlin/Terry Hall classic massacred recently by Hilary & Haylie Duff would be the best bet to be a challenger. After all it would be The Same Difference http://www.lewscomputers.co.uk/xfactor/images/xf_s4_same_difference_l.jpg :rofl: Like this pop classic that somehow failed to reach the UK Top 75. QiiLQH_2fjY Terry, Blair & Anouchka - Ultra Modern Nursery Rhyme ... That has been performed live at Butlins by a certain brother/sister duo from a certain ITV talent show who release their forthcoming Stock Aitken & Waterman produced debut album (no tracklisting yet so hopefully it wont be on it) in November.
October 6, 200816 yr Born Slippy meant quite a lot to people in 1995 but, by the end, of 1996 it had been taken over by the lager louts...ironic, since it wasn't championing drunken boistrousness...quite the opposite. Still, it's the best song named after a greyhound ever...and, yes, I do realise 'Pearl's Girl' was also a fast doggy! Oh, but if you think it's better than 'Ghost Town' then you're having a laugh!
October 7, 200816 yr I had Terry Hall's Terry Blair and Anoushka album - prettyy damn brilliant it was.

Break From The Old Routine :lol: pDLsPwrOOhA how about next time the specials get put up against Oui 3's version of For What It's Worth...in the battle as i guess whenever it came out the rhymes of Oui 3 were ultra modern...tho obv not as good as Public Enemy 3pDZlL709-U Oui 3 - For What It's Worth LGzztvsnSRc Public Enemy - He got game then again we good have something like... koIHnS82fkc You Showed Me - Turtles or the specials against something like Care - Flaming Sword as sense is probs one of the best terry hall songs ever...or the specials against milli vanilli as they were a couple of ventriloquist dummies :lol: :lol: ....then again we could have.... vJV44YV69z0 Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth 7zqRh1Vw_yE Elenore by The Turtles that would be good!!!
