The Fall - BM's best of thread

[roman totale]

Forgot all about this. Just had a quick listen on YouTube and the first song is The Fall without Mark singing which sounds obvious but there's been plenty of pretenders music wise over the years. Thanks for the reminder

It definitely sounds like it’s ‘of The Fall’, but at no point does it cross over into Fall-like. Early Blue Orchids and Marc Riley & The Creepers stuff definitely did, quite understandably, cross that line occasionally.

The many ways Mark E. Smith fired The Fall members

Mark E. Smith was the ruthless force at the heart of The Fall, mercilessly firing half his bandmates during the band's 40-year tenure.

Damn, didn’t know he’d died. I’ve always like the idea of Can, more than I liked their actual music, but you can’t deny their huge influence. As good a time as any to post this…

Also worth listening to the producer, John Leckie, talking about it’s recording. Even though he erroneously identifies the song as Drago’s Guilt.

Looks the spit of Dave from the Royle Family there.
