So did people not nominate one of the tracks off Naturally on the assumption that other people would? (which was why I didn't)

It's the album vs song thing: I enjoyed it as an album when we listened to it but felt that there were stronger individual songs from other albums.So did people not nominate one of the tracks off Naturally on the assumption that other people would? (which was why I didn't)
We had no such problem with Idles. Just saying.So did people not nominate one of the tracks off Naturally on the assumption that other people would? (which was why I didn't)

Notable clarkie mentions btw, belfry and bimbo.
Benny chose a track from an album that he gave a 10 to and said he'd contemplated nominating himself!!
Did I fail to read the exam question properly?

I've not been to a show with a line like that out the door before. I went there expecting to see fans of a band that started in 1989 of the similar "seasoned age", but at one point thought I was at the wrong place in seeing who was waiting in line to get in. I'd say the average fan age was in the mid-late 20s, and I was more than a few tats and piercings short of them. Loads of under 21 black "X"s on the hands for those not yet of drinking age in the US.Nice, Slowdive's renaissance is a nice middle finger to music journalists who behave like twats.
Nonetheless, Slowdive put on a fantastic show in a full force wall of sound and reverb guitars like I've not heard or seen before. The leftie (yeah!) Christian Savill did most of the heavy lifting in sounding the closest to Johnny Marr as I've heard. Simon Scott on drums also was quite the force and a big part of the amazing sound.
From what I saw, those music journalists were eating more than crow last night on the state of their emerging and young fanbase, especially fans of the last 2 albums since reforming.

Yep, my eldest tends to have around 6 to 8 mates round on a Friday night to listen to music together. Slowdive are a regular part of the playlist and they all went to see them on the last tour.

I wasn't here for that and thought I had to pick a track off one of the albums I nominated. Shrug emojiSo did people not nominate one of the tracks off Naturally on the assumption that other people would? (which was why I didn't)
