    There were some great punk bands and one of them from Dunfermline in Scotland wrote a cracking song with a brilliant intro. This song was adopted by the Charlton Athletic club. The guitar riff is up there with the best of them and the drumming packs a real punch, so it's over to The Skids .....

    More Punk/Pop athough it is called Pop Punk these days and has become Americanised with the skateboard culture...

    Makes sense. Us of all teams ought to be able to nick a song or two though

    Absolutely agree about the intro. Only bettered in that era by The Only Ones with the song below. The intro anyway, as I never really liked Peter Perrett's voice

    One of my favourites, as you say mainly for the intro. The line "Space travel's in my blood" always makes me smile for some reason, I'm a simple soul.

    I heard this the other day. Great "husky" voice. The singer is Daisy Godfrey. *Any relation to Tony Godfrey, SFC keeper in about 1910!!

    When everything that Madness did was sublime pop music. Our House. My favourite of all their singles:


    I even ended up buying my one and only Madness album because of it. The Rise & Fall. A cracker-jack LP of slick lyrics and inventive pop.

    Gutted to hear about the passing of Neil Peart. One of the greatest drummers of all time. Rush weren’t you everyone’s taste, but three better musicians you’d be hard pressed to find.

    This is an interesting clip. I have never heard anything by Rush before other than they are a Hard Rock band. However, listening to this track I would have to ask how indebted to jazz is this performance? The comment about 3 better musicians is a bit overkill if you listen to a lot of jazz where this kind of performance level is the norm but it is extraordinary for Rock I would imagine. The bass lines really remind me of Jaco Pastorious and the drummer knows exactly how to keep time. Again, I am listening to this and thinking could someone have produced a solo like this without being taught properly? He must have come out of music college to play like that, surely? I immediately thought of Buddy Rich when he started to solo but the synthesizer punctuations at the very end of the performance are all the kind of voicing used in jazz. It does sound like the brass section of a big band behind him.

    It always intrigues me how certain band can gain a level of credibility when the level of musicianship is not great. (Step forward Oasis!! ) This is the first rime I have heard Rush and this track has as much of interest for someone who likes as it does Rock. It is really on the threshold of being jazz-rock, in my opinion. (Thinking of bands like Tribal Tech, etc.)

    I am glad this was posted. Thanks
