Was learning an acoustic version of the Circle to include in my set and thought I'd give the album a listen while I was at it...haven't listened to it properly in years. Brought back some great memories.

Superb acoustic version of the Circle here too

If the album is collecting dust on your CD shelf, dig it out as it really is a cracking album that has stood the test of time so well

Couldn't stand them TBH, too self consciously cool. Almost as bad as Kula Shaker.

They are no Skrewdriver, are they Tony?

Even Kula Shaker had their moment with 'Hush', great song (but admittedly that's about it )

I kind of liked OCS but they had a little bit of what really makes my skin crawl about Coldplay, cant put my finger on it but some really good songs.

Kula Shaker were ok but preffered "Peeler Tater" myself, there was a group of bands that were similar back then Keane was in there and Toploader, really like Bedshaped by Keane and High Flying Bird by Toploader, that Rhodes Piano gets me every time. Oh and Reef as well, all kind of "cool", white, a bit rocky but still pretty safe and inoffensive., could I lump the Seahorses in there, similar MO but a bit more pedigree perhaps.

Superceded in my preferences by Gomez and Kasabian.

The borrowed it off Deep Purple who I think were only borrowing it off someone else anyway.

I think it's a certain complacency, they mimic rock that once took risks but they take none....but they revel in that 'cool'.

I liked Coldplays first album TBH, maybe 'cos the way it was a soundtrack to a time in my life that was really good. But now I don't like them at all.

I loved Moseley Shoals, used to have it playing on my walkman whilst cycling to work, then in the car when I finally got one! That must have been on tape!

Class album, I bought back in the day, soon as it came out, scarey to think it was about 15 years ago now, Have most of their stuff on vinyl and CD, Went to watch them play down the road from me a few years back in blackpool, Great Night, Check out B-sides,Seasides and Freerides, Some hidden gems on there....

Steve cradock hasn`t done bad as paul wellers resident guitarist

How time flies, Got their 1st album too, That was a good 3 or 4 years earlier But nowhere near the standard/sound of Mosely Scholes

Anyone else feeling old yet, lol......

What a £hitter if I was closer to the gig I would have snapped them up, deserves a free bump

A class album....

Recently bought it again as my original CD was basically knacked...

Heard some of there newer stuff last year and was a bit underwhelmed,but credit where its due,Moseley Shoals was a class album and my brother in law went to school with the Steve Craddock in Solihull....

In the seventies we had ELO , Maybe bands have a shorter reign these days by default

ELO were great..

Radio 2 has been playing plenty of it lately..

dpb

There was this bloke in the fifth form ( when i was 12 ) played ELO constantly on a ghetto blaster on his shoulder , in school . We thought he was bit outdated - this was a year before the sex pistols

Brilliant album, start of the year they were doing a 15 year anniversary tour of the album. They played the whole thing track after track. Plus all the extra tracks etc. The gig was epic up there with one of the best gigs I've seen. Great memories go along with the album.

we were talking about this last night. how many good bands are there nowadays? all this x factor same old same old is killing the music scene. it all just sounds the same to me. what happened to good old bands like pink floyd, queen, guns n roses, elo, bon jovi, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Classix Nouveaux, Blancmange, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Specials, Madness, the (English) Beat, Selecter, nirvana, pearl jam, radiohead et al. none of them seem to stand the test of time anymore. one hit x factor wonders then they fade into obscurity. it's sad. i suppose people get older and times change. i miss those times. sorry all maudlin and melancholy now.

getting less and less. In our apathetic consumer-based world, where immediate gratification is tantamount, bands have no hope of longevity imho.

If you last 12 months, you're doing well.

Sad state of affairs too. There will be no "young" stadium-type bands.

And you (the music-acquiring public) have made it like this.
Confrontational statement? yes. I work in the Music Industry on the front line, trying to get these artists/musicians broken through.

Fleeting Mind was played over and over and...

bigsinky

that is so sad IMHO. my vinyl collection that i have acquired over the last 35 years would disagree. some cracking bands over the years, some amazing cover art but sadly it is getting harder and harder to find shops that stock my preferred format.

I'm in intense negotiations with the wife
I want to cancel my ebay listing and go to the gig, She wants to go to a Christmas meal at friends in Bayford.

Dammit!!!!

I always thought OCS were **** like a commercial poppy zepplin wannabes.
