The lack of music discussion on here is appalling. Therefore, I will give it a much needed boost. First one: For JOHNNY Thank you Jimmy. There's a bit of Josef K there I think, a bit of ACR maybe. It's ok. I don't like the vocal. I'd pay to see them but would walk out after the third songe yes I'd walk out after the third songe |

I like it J, but I'm going to leave this one for Ray because I think he'll have more interesting things to say about it. |

Doesn't look as if Ray's participating right now.
Moving on what does FONZ think of this one from Luton's finest..

Someone sent out the bat signal! I love a bit of UK Decay, the album was a bit crap, but there is gold to be found in the singles. But I'm also not fonz. Always worth pointing out that they are effectively a national institution:  |

I won't nominate anyone because G decided to step in and nominate fonz. |

I might have been interested in that 40 years ago, but probably not now. 40 years ago this was my thing. And they’re touring this stuff in November. I’ve got tickets- a rare night out for me… this one is for Markus |

The B-side to For My Country has one of my favourites of theirs, Unwind. They managed to exist in that transitional time from dodgy '77 punk sound-alikes, and post-punk/goth, and that's exactly where there singles sit. Have a kind of nervous energy about them, creating something distinct without being particularly talented. |

Might not be the best choice as he is yet to reappear following his (second) temporary suspension. I'd wait and see when/if he starts posting again before nominating him. |

They did have quite a powerful sound and I briefly got into them, I even bought their follow up band Furyo (not many did!). In my head I always used to twin them with Wasted Youth. |
