Erm, Steve Mason?

It's not that no one else likes him, they either don't know him or don't bother to talk about him.

I even like that new record

I liked the Beta Band but haven't really checked out his solo stuff. The new album has great cover art that's for sure:

I only profess to liking one album (see above).

It's a good album. I prefer Murmur though. Reckoning and Document are probably as good as well.

I've been obsessed with this lot for a few years.

Saw Doctors for me. I think someone from Stoat said they were good once. Big Monster Love may have expressed his admiration for them too (or I could be making that up). They have released some awful shite recently but their old stuff and gigs are great.

Ah yeah I like the Saw Doctors too.

the proclaimers.

they are amazing though.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Ah here the Proclaimers are fantastic.

They wrote and performed perhaps the most annoying song of all time.

Yep. I don't care if they piss pop gold aside from that, that tune is unforgivable.

you've no obligation to like it, but i think its pretty amazing that its pretty much become part of the fibre of society in such a short time.

What I find hard to forgive is the rerecording of letter from america that they made with the full band, they replaced the anger and sadness with we're-rolling-in-it-now-boys glee

I'm looking at the sing it on TOTP now, maybe im being a bit harsh. Its still a travesty though

Bran Van 3000. I love these guys. They have 4 fantastic albums, but nobody's heard of anything beyond 'Drinking In LA'.

I love that tune though, which album should I start with?
