100

Always had a soft spot for REM but found them really inconsistent- this is a catchy one I always hear in my head.

Nobody knows who wrote Knees Up Mother Brown, the 1938 version was attributed to Bert Lee, Harris Weston and I. Taylor , but it had existed for at least two decades before that. The song came to prominence at the end of the 1st World war, it was noted that it was sung extensively in East End boozers on Armistice night 11th November 1918, but to this day no one knows who wrote it.

The celebrations marking the end of the 1st World War were very boozy affairs, they went on for three days, before they were finally broken up by the police.

I loved Automatic for the people and their previous stuff so wasn't sure when I first heard Monster. I then went to see them live at Murrayfield Stadium where they were joined by The Cranberries who were ok. This was REM's opener for the night and it was absolutely searing hot. The band were at their very best. A couple of years later I saw them at Stirling Castle and to say they were lacking in intensity is an understatement. WtfK will always take me back to that gig. Superb. Great choice for no 100 mate. Look forward to your daily choices. Well done for doing this.

Automatic For People is one of my favourite albums to be fair

Sounds awesome gig that. Would love to have seen their early stuff live.
