I think Flag Day is one of the best pop songs ever written.
A Hidden gem waiting to be covered. . | |

Idon"t remember that one I'd always love Happy Hour and Think For Minute is great! I think that the singer was the leader of Beautiful South after their separation..A Hidden gem waiting to be covered. | |

I loved both of their albums at the time, and I still like them quite a bit despite their boneheaded marxism. Happy Hour, Me and the Farmer, Sitting on a Fence and a good half-dozen others are prime pop music; imaginative harmonies, lasting melodies. I'm sure anyone who has a taste for UK guitar pop would like them a lot. I've only heard the Beatiful South's first album. I was fairly luke-warm on it, and I never really paid attention after that. I'm not even sure if they're still about, actually. | |

The Beautiful South are still alive and crafting perfect pop gems as usual.
They have a new album out in a couple of months. Norman Cook also enjoyed some post-Housemartins success as Beats International first and Fatboy Slim later | |

Thank jumpin' Jesus for this thread!!
Really one of the best bands of the '80s. The songs sound better than they did then. My recent disovery? "Drop Down Dead"  [Edited 3/11/06 20:59pm] | |

I love the song "Happy Hour". Whichever album that is fom I own on vinyl, but I never really gave it much attention. Maybe I should put that on again. | |

Hmm My favorite song was Caravan of Love the vocals and lyrics just always made me happy when i was drinking at the closest (chicago bar).
And Then I heard The Beautiful South and my life changed, I had never heard such intelligent witty and bitter lyrics. Needless to say i fell in love instantly and have been a fan every since. Though over time ive learned to keep the Beautiful South to myself...to many people who ive exposed them too thought i was a bit scary afterwards. They are still one of my favorite groups. Just Amazing Music. [Edited 3/11/06 22:49pm] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

THEY WERE FUCKING TERRIBLE! There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |
