Whatever happened to - twin sets
Whatever happened to - hi-fi
Whatever happened to - TV sex
Whatever happened to - you and I
Your passion is a product
(of) highlight and detail
That come hither look
Bonus offer retail
Whatever happened to - pick-up trucks
Whatever happened to - yellow pages
Whatever happened to - burning books
Whatever happened to - new ages
Your emotions are cheap
Cut price cash and carry
Your heart on your sleeve
For any Tom, Dick or Harry
Your love is a cashed-in cheque
Oh oh that's the way of all flesh
Whatever happened to - Chairman Mao
Whatever happened to - God above
Whatever happened to - the cow
Whatever happened to - plug-in love
Your pasteurised life so fit for consumption
Ooooo those undressing eyes so strictly commercial
Your love is a cashed-in cheque
Oh oh that's the way of all flesh
All flesh
All flesh
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |

I've seen them three times.
At the first gig I took pictures of the band.
At the second gig I went backstage, offered them the pictures and asked if they could play my favourite song Autonomy.
And they did!
I talked with both Pete and Steve, and they're really nice guys.
The third gig was on Steve's birthday, which made them decide to play all of the old classics.
And they're still alive, new album due to come out this autumn

Start with Singles going steady
it's a semi-compilation album, and it's brilliant.
You'll soon find out why Frank Black is a fan, why K.C. wanted them to support Nirvana on a tour, why Eddy Vedder begged to be their roadie, and why Dave Grohl wore a Buzzcocks shirt on the MTV Video Music Awards

OK I'll spit it. I tried, I tried real hard to like the Buzzcocks. They're mentioned so many times in Pixies articles. They're punk and I love punk. I bought Love Bites.
And I don't really love them. There are some great songs on it (Ever Fallen In Love is really cool) but some are just so-so and some (Operator's Manual) are simply unlistenable. I listened to it a lot (well, at least 5 times), thinking it was a grower, but it never grabbed my attention.
Oh, and I also bought their 2003 record (I think it's self-titled) and I ejected it and threw it across the romm after 30 seconds. The Buzzcocks are one of my biggest musical disappointments.

Well if you like Ever fallen in love you'll probably like most of the songs off Singles going steady, especially the first ones like Orgasm addict, What do I get?, I don't mind, Love you more and Harmony in my head.
These songs are classic
I agree with you about the newer stuff.
The albums they made before they split up are much better than the new ones.

I can't have my secret forum crush be a guy who threw a Buzzcocks record across the room. I am sorry. It's been fun.

OK, I didn't really throw it across the room. I ejected it but put it back into the case. I've only done that once, throwing a cassette of some French singer in the middle of the street and watching it die smashed by a car. It felt so good.
But really, it sucks! Or at least the first 30 seconds do. Have you heard it?

I made the mistake of running 6 miles right before bed, and passed out
for 4 hours and have had enough of tossing and turning and pretending I could
go back to sleep. Maybe it's the full moon? I feel like an over-caffeinated
hummingbird.
No, I have not heard that last album. The one you threw away.

I thought this was going to be a Stranglers thread too!
Buzzcocks are pretty good - Ever Fallen In Love is one of the greatest singles ever. Similar sort of vein to Undertones, kinda.

I bought a Gary Numan "Greatest Hits" cd with my friend Jason, for the simple pleasure of putting it on in his car, laughing and jeering while listening to the utter crappiness of it, then smashing the case against his dashboard and tossing the CD out the window.
Worst 15 dollars I've ever spent.
Chicken- thx for the suggestion! I'll pick it up very soon |

F it. Let's turn it into a Stranglers thread. My fave albums in order:
1. The Raven
2. Black & White
3. Rattus Norvegicus
4. No More Heroes
5. La Folie
6. The Gospel...
7. Feline
The rest don't really matter... |
