I particularly loved the 2nd album "Ha Ha Ha" and the single "Young Savage"... but I only ever saw them with John Foxx as frontman, I thought they lost it on "Systems of Romance" and so lost interest in them before Midge Ure joined the band... but this is all a product of age... the difference between being born in London in the early sixties as against the late sixties... And even if I could have choosen I wouldn't have been born any later... maybe a bit earlier coz I'd have loved to have been going to gigs in London in the mid-sixties, whereas my classic teenage gig era was late-seventies... But I think it is cycles, as growing up through the eighties dance thing must have been very exciting too... peaks and troughs... I figure from a music point of view being born mid-sixties in London would probably have been worse than late-sixties.... and obviously the good and bad dates would be different in other geographical locations....

I saw Marillion, too. Supported by the Cardiacs. And there' still a little bit of me that will attempt to stage a defence for Marillion. It'd be WRONG. But heartfelt. this gets better and better.

I like Smith's analogy with the showtrials, but I'm finding it all very enjoyable and therapeutic ;-) It does indeed get worse before it gets better (which as gutter says, is the whole point).
