"Creaming Jesus. Guilt by Association is still one of my favourite albums. Stray Toasters will always, always raise a smile and remind me of being 18 again. https://youtu.be/eDu9O-3w0lM The Clarks. Very generic American pop/rock but they remind me of going to see local bands at state fairs in the summer and getting buzzed on cheap beer; that sort of feel-good summer music. https://youtu.be/u8A6soFpK1c Dave's True Story. I absolutely love the lead singer's voice, and it's the sort of music that should be played in some smoky dive bar somewhere. I quite like some of the overtly lesbian love songs too, Nadine being my favourite. https://youtu.be/lcPdHl73GVk" Defo saw creaming Jesus many times. My flat mate used to work with Andy at his day job. "Barbecue, burn Mr bundy" | |||

"JJ72" Oxygen was one of those songs I just randomly remembered when you said JJ72. They are successful but bands like The Band, The Music, Love, Jim Sullivan are acts that I remember hearing of late in the day and not being massively well known. Or a few Indie bands definitely who were on the outskirts of commercial success | |||

About three times as fast as the record and Jan Akkerman gives a tutorial on blisteringly fast, precise shredding for the ages. As somebody commented, they had better drugs back then | |||
