The Fall

Just got in from a Fall gig. Trying to think of another band who have been so true to their vision, without compromise, without favour, for such a long time. Coupled with that, thay have the greatest lyricist in the history of popular music. Only band/artiste I could come up with was Captain Beefheart. In comparison, everyone else just seems like sell outs or bandwagonists.

Listen to slayer.

wow. do you write for NME? those are some pretty vast judgements.

heres a couple other bands for your list:

James Brown
George Clinton
Suicide
Lou Reed
The Clash
Serge Gainsbourg


i love the Fall and all... but the greatest lyricist in the history of popular music? Mark E. Smith? no.

Hehe, yep, you hit the nail on the magazine.

Also, how about Fugazi

I'm with Sea on this one.

Fuck me. The old double-post makes you look cool...

I also like them because Mark E makes me look healthy, hehe.

I love the fall. But come on.. Best lyrics? I can think of a number of songs on this nations saving grace that are no more then 3 words... repeated over and over.

L L L L L L L
A A A A A A
repeat

I like Mark E's Lyrics though... God Damn the PEDANTIC Welsh!!!

This Is The Real New Fall Thread
