oh, and 'eyes without a face' by billy idol was one of my eighties faves. synthy, doomy (and a bit silly), but with a great tune. and 'dancing with myself' is quality too!

Good shouts on the Inspirals and the Isleys. I am also quite partial - guilty pleasure alert! - to Natalie Imbrugli-woogly. Well, Torn was ok... Is it wrong to choose an act on the strength of one song? Wrong, no - but a tad ridiculous perhaps. Ludicrous, or preposterous, even. But, what the heck! My vote goes to I, Ludicrous - whose Preposterous Tales proved the stuff of indie-fanzine legend. The band was - and, indeed, is (as they're apparently still going) - from South London. A more blokey, less caustic version of The Fall, if you will. Preposterous Tales was released on a giveaway-flexidisc in the mid-to-late '80s, and was basically about a character, Ken McKenzie, spinning a series of unlikely, self-promoting yarns to his mates (who react with increasing disbelief) at their local. Come to think of it, the sound-quality is such that it was probably recorded there, too. Ken regales stories of having once 'ate six Mars Bars in half an hour', 'gone out with a famous DJ's sister's friend', 'seen the Sex Pistols at The 100 Club' and the like. We must all know someone like him - which makes it all the funnier. I played the song to Macc Junior on our drive home, earlier this year, from County's stonking win at Gainsborough - since when it has become our official post-match anthem. When singing along, we change the line about having seen 'the Palace score four goals away from home' to 'the County score five...'. Oh, and I do make sure that we only ever relate to having 'picked some flowers (rather than 'had a shower') with two American girls', too. He's still only ten. And I'm not completely irresponsible...

Yay, a band I voted for got on the CD.
Thanks Sandy - continues to be my favourite thread (except for matchdays with tweeting Macc! Oh, and the Limerick Lounge and the Prediction League, obviously)

Doh! How terribly rude of me. Erm... I mean the fact that Sandy's Quiz is the best thread on CH goes without saying.
As I have just proven.
A thousand apologies your royal sandyness!
