This, though I've come to appreciate Happy Mondays a bit (mainly Pills n Thrills n Bellyaches) in more recent years (I really disliked them at the time). But to say that Madchester or baggy or any of that garbage is better than shoegaze, wow. When Hunter is right, he's really right, but when's wrong, that's when midge has to step in.
Either that or he's just trying to get us agitated a bit and we took the bait?

Jane's Addiction >>>>any Madchester band other than The Stone Roses
And that's just a stone cold fact, jack.
I mean, name one other band worth a shit in that genre. Seriously?

That's the list.
EDIT: I guess I can give xxxHunterxxx The Fall. I like them, but don't love them.

Madchester, not Manchester. I love all of those bands, but your reading comprehension is, shall I say, lacking.
And The Fall belong on there and you know it.

I suspect that joke tag might come in handy here too. In my experience, pedro doesn't make mistakes, just jokes that are subtle enough to fly over a lot of people's heads.

Who me? Overanalyze things? Never!

aside from the first stone roses lp (plus the singles around then), and one inspirals single - all of it was rubbish. what else was there? james? shite. charlatans? not hardly. a guy called gerald? yeah, right. the mighty mock turtles? pfft. played with them. they sucked.

Sometimes I forget you hate metal as well as punk rock.

And for all you music lovers who dig Steely Dan: remember the only impressive thing about these annoying saps is the fact that they named themselves after a MEDIEVAL DILDOE.
Oh, Happy Mondays were never good to listen to. Not on the best drugs or alcohol. Although, that may take the edge off the SUCK.

john stabb wrote:And more from Trouser Press on Happy Mondays, Hunter ...
"Those searching for the key to the Mondays' success won't find it on the debut album. The inexplicably titled Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) includes its first hit, the swinging "24 HR Party People." For the most part, though, the album is unimaginative — often unlistenable — acid funk, produced with no apparent flourishes by John Cale. Over such transparent and repetitive backing, it's hard not to notice how off-key Ryder's vocals are. Although "Oasis" and "Kuff Dam" are designed to reflect/support the burgeoning dance phenomenon, the record is no timeless pop classic. One surprise: the gloomy Cure-like intro to "Cob 20."
