That's what it's all about mate.
If it wasn't for The Smiths (Marr), I'd have Joy Division as the best
AND most influential.
However, there is an army of Fall fans who would fight me to the death over that point.
*Not that I've anything against The Fall...far from it.
To be perfectly honest, The Fall scare me to death. I've desperately avoided Smith and his music because I've seen what it's done to some of my friends.
Once you're addicted, you're hooked for life. Worse than heroin I'd say.
And I've already got one all consuming addiction with Northern Soul.
If Fall fans are the same as N.S. connoisseurs (and I suspect they are) then they divide there music tastes into two camps...
The Fall and
Everything Else.
Not that it's a bad place to be. Just another place I could do without being.
*hastily added to avoid Urban's death threats.

Waterfall is a brilliantly put together riff.

Squire spoiled himself for me after his Seahorses wankery.
