Yeh i would have too. Kate Bush = Genius imo

If she hadn't been in the poll then no question...Still little fingers would have got my vote

 

[Sturdy Wrists]

Kate may be harder than Jake Burns but Mensi kicks her ass all day long.
Upstarts it is then.

 

[JTG]

SLF by a country mile

 

[Annierak]

I hope Kate does another album and we don't have to wait as long as we did for 'Aerial'

 

[Griff]

SLF - For the first album alone.

Only ever saw them the once, 1980 at the Rainbow, and they rocked.

Did like the Upstarts' cover of 'We Gotta Get Out of this Place' & 'Teenage Warning' though. But they never came close to SLF.

Yeah, we're crying out for songs about washing-lines aren't we.





















Though I did like that album.

 

[Biffo]

I'm going to see SLF tonight - 21 years after I last saw them. Expectations are not too high but a blast of Gotta Get Away, Alternative Ulster, Suspect Device and Wasted Life will do for starters. Some later ones like Price of Admission, Silver Lining and Bits of Kids would also be acceptable - as would their guitars being in tune

I love that washing machine song (as i now call it)

Who else would think to write a song like that?

'Wishy washy, wishy washy, get that dirty shirty clean'

[Clair De Lune]

slf, seen them twice.

 

[Fedayn]

For this alone.... Alernative Ulster

 

[Annierak]

Kate Bush was only 17 when she wrote 'Wuthering heights'. What a talent

 

[Biffo]

So my ears still don't work properly but a very nice trip down memory lane that was last night. Some of the songs were a bit rushed and had that pubrock feel but an SLF gig is still worth a go imo. Stand out tracks:

Wasted Life
Nobody's Heroes
Listen
Barbed Wire Love
Just Fade Away
Safe As Houses
Doesn't Make It Alright
At The Edge
Suspect Device
Tin Soldiers
Alternative Ulster

 

[Mr Moose]

SLF? Nah, cheap Clash imitators with conservative fan base. i.e. 'if you can't pogo to it then chuck 'em off stage'. I won't forgive them for doing just that to Mark E Smith at the Lyceum back in 1979. Not that I'm not one to harbour a grudge or anything.
Give me Kate Bush anytime.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Annierak]

Mmm just in the mood for some Kate Bush now

 

[Mr Moose]

SLF

I wuz there too.

 

[Mr Moose]

Like them all really...

 

[pixelina]

Stiff Little Fingers all the way!!!!

 

[Annierak]

Kate Bush has to be one of my favorite ever female singers

 

[ice-is-forming]

stiff little fingers FTW !

Didn't she support the Upstarts and the UK Subs on the Oi! Over Britain tour?

 

[Griff]

Nah, that was Infa Riot & Sarah Brightman.

 

[lights.out.london]

Nah, that was Infa Riot & Sarah Brightman.

I have a tour jacket and t-shirt.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

First Stiffs album is awesome but the rest is pussy balls fairy twaddle.

Kate bush wins though for the fantastic 'Kick inside' AWESOME!
