Love the cheesy pre-chorus, the like of which only seemed to exist in the 80s.

Went to try and grab a copy of it only to find that everything on Discogs was over £80 and the only one on eBay was £60. Ridiculous. Oh well, I guess I won’t be owning this one any time soon!

Way better than the flip, which is still a good tune. Some of you will probably say that both of these are crap. It’s a shame you’re wrong.

I used to love this track when it came out and it brings back some funny memories of school days, holidays with mates and much stupid behaviour that I’m glad is well behind me. The song actually still sounds pretty good (or is that just me?), but it’s amazing how obviously 90s this is from virtually everything in the video.

Wicked Neptunes beat anyway. In the video he looks a bit like he’s made of wax and it’s sad to see that no one ever taught him how buttons work. You’ll catch a cold with those shirts undone like that, young man!

They’re playing a load of festivals over the summer too, look into it if you’ve never caught them before. I really need to pick this tune up actually…

I hadn’t heard it for years and had forgotten how great it is. Nothing more to say.

Wicked excuse to pick out some old favs and discover new ones at the same time.

This is a nice tune. Listen

Many of them go on about how they listen to all sorts of music, yet when you question them about this it turns out that they just listen to all type of metal. Boring. The good thing about a lots of them is that they include random non-metal/non-heavy tracks on their albums from time to time.

This one is from Swedish death metal pioneers At The Gates and is taken from their seminal Slaughter Of The Soul album. If I had to pick then this record would definitely make an appearance in my top 5 records of all time and is almost perfect from start (and what a start it is!) to finish.

Give this a try, it’s interesting…
