Half Man Half Biscuit. Don't think they've troubled the singles charts often, but their albums are top notch.

Edit: also out that month, The Boys Are Back In Town, Thin Lizzy, set the scene for that incredible summer

Oh and 'Swerving the Checkatrade' from their last album featuring the brilliant line "oh let me gaze upon your curves, instead of Ipswich Town reserves."

"I I Me Me Grab Grab Grab" - brilliant track!

I'll give a nod to "Gimme Little Sign" by Brenton Wood (UK no.8 in 1967)

Kursaal Flyers. Little Does She Know.


Ah you have me right there. They were a Southend band.coulnt hold a candle to Procol Harem or Eddie and the Hotrods but I still sing bits of the lyric to myself. You will never get writing like this again

I knew she had seen me
Because she dropped her bikini
The one that I bought her in Rome

Honourable mention to Deeplishblue for Julie by jilted John. That one made it onto the football terraces. Remember hearing the Shed chant “Channon is a moron” after he score against Chelsea.

He churned out some good poetry back in the day.

Not right certain of that. They were very different types of band mind.

Went to a charity fund raiser a few years back when the Hotrods did a small set at the end of the night. The crowd shouted for an encore but the drummer had to go because of the babysitter. Not quite the rock drummer image. They put a shout out to the audience and someone jumped in to drum some backing rhythm in his absence.
