Magical voice and perfect rendition. when I hear it, it takes me back to a particular life moment when I was incredibly down but by chance I saw those fields of gold in Fife and Angus east of Scotland. Lifted me, changed my outlook on so many things. Something I carry with me always and that song refreshes it every time. Thanks for that memory ??

I didn't get into Manics until Everything Must Go, then worshipped their early stuff for a few years. Seen them live a few times and put on a great show. Man Made is much better in my opinion... went to see them at the Bell on Sadlergate, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Anything with Paul Heaton in is always golden. The Wedding Present, Smiths, Teenage fanclub, They might be giants, Inspiral Carpets and at the moment as i type this I am listening to Trashcan Sinatras - their album Cake does not have a single bad second on it.

CornwallRam Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Heaven 17 Sisters of Mercy Leonard Cohen Green Day Black Crowes Red Hot Chili Peppers Foo Fighters Levellers Loved the Smiths, but Morrisey going all far right has really tainted them now ...and the Stone Roses are the most over-rated band of all time.

Igor_111 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Frank Turner for me. Was never really into music the way most people are. Never got it when people said they can't live without music. I watched Top of the Pops every week as I had no choice due to my older siblings insistence. Went to uni and was more exposed to music but nothing really 'got me'. That was before I heard Hysteria by Muse and was blown away by them. Got their back catalogue and love it all. Not so keen on their latest offerings mind. Then came Arctic Monkeys and The Killers. Loved them and played them along with Muse on constant repeat. We Were Promised Jetpacks then cane on the scene after they did the background music to the best goals of the week on Soccer AM (Lovejoy and Chamberlain era). Went to their gig in London (my first ever real gig) and again was blown away. Still my best ever gig! However, that was before I heard Frank Turner. I heard The Road and Photosynthesis when he was at the V Festival, quickly downloaded his entire back history and was totally blown away. Song for everything, what ever mood I was in. Even his depressing songs cheered me up! "Theres a song for every time you win, and every time you lose", " Sing for the records you played till they broke, For the parts where you insisted that nobody spoke, Sing for the words that you knew, but they still make you choke". (and I still choke to that every single time) Seen the man a dozen times, always awesome. Amazing front man! First gig was over 12 years ago, but is my go to artist. Sorry. Went on a bit longer than I thought but I had to justify my posting. PS the lyrics are from the songs I Still Believe and Pass it Along respectively. The first is my favourite, the second is a homage artists who do it for the sheer love of their craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans on Toast supports Frank a lot... At leaat in the earlier days. I do like him.. But never got into him in the safe way. Surprised anyone has heard of either of them to be honest. Warms the cockles it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor_111 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 "Funny" story. After me and my housemate became besotted by him, we got tickets to his gig at Brixton Academy. We were waiting at the cashpoint, and in the next bank was FT himself! My friend had the audacity to say to him that he had better be good. He replied meekly.. I'll try! Suffice to say, he obliged!

Every once in a while I'll hear something that transports me back to a place and time, and the trigger memory is so vivid, even though what's triggered the memory is beyond all recollection.

I like a couple of Frank Turner's songs but I've never really listened to any of his albums or anything. Might give it a go. Beans on Toast is great. Afternoons in the Sunshine, A Whole Lot of Loving and M.D.M.Amazing are particular favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I decided to start going back through all the stuff I listened to pre 2010. Back to the stuff I owned before Spotify opened up a whole new world. Some of it I haven't listened to for a long time, but I still know most of the words. More than that though, my mind just gets filled with memories. Some attached to a very specific moment, others just a general point. Incredible really that the mind can hold such information, but can I remember what my own number is...

Beans is doing a free live stream on Sunday from his living room, I have watched 4 or 5 of them he has done over the last year, he is great. Seen Frank Turner a few times, i think the first time was supporting Billy Bragg and followed him ever since then, he is amazing live too, just like Mr Bragg and Beans.

Day Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Beans on Toast sounds like a group of teenagers sat in the garage annoying neighbours as they destroy songs when their mum shouts....beans on toast ready and that was the name decided.
