Love Spreads

[AnnieK]

Love Spreads is a great song, not sure it would be my number 1 (i would struggle to choose a fave, I love them all) but thanks for doing this Alf...:love:

[Alf]

That's The Smiths, Oasis and The Roses I've done, I'll save the best Manchester band until last and do The Monday's next.

[Tony Montana]

Just doesn't go anywhere for me.

All time fave band though....you ever seen them live?

I haven’t I’m afraid. You?

[AnnieK]

Ahhhh....have a special soft spot the Mondays...Manchester is home to THE best bands

[Tony Montana]

That's The Smiths, Oasis and The Roses I've done, I'll save the best Manchester band until last and do The Monday's next.

Why don’t you do the Beatles or Queen instead?

[AnnieK]

I haven’t I’m afraid. You?

Yeah....I was at Spike Island 1990 (I'm old) also at the cone back gig at Heaton Park....:love:

[Tony Montana]

Yeah....I was at Spike Island 1990 (I'm old) also at the cone back gig at Heaton Park....:love:

Lucky you. It must’ve been amazing

[AnnieK]

Lucky you. It must’ve been amazing

Spike island was amazing...
The comeback was fab, when ian brown and john squire hugged on stage the reaction of the criwd was electric :love:

[AnnieK]

Why don’t you do the Beatles or Queen instead?

Nah, keep going with the Mancs Alf xx

[Alf]

Why don’t you do the Beatles or Queen instead?I'd struggle with a top 20 for Queen, I would easily be able to manage a top 10. I just don't think they have 20 songs that I'm fond of.

Beatles, no problem. I'll do one soon.

[Alf]

Nah, keep going with the Mancs Alf xxWhether it's the Mancs or the Scousers makes no difference to me. You both come from the wrong end of the M62

[AnnieK]

Whether it's the Mancs or the Scousers makes no difference to me. You both come from the wrong end of the M62

Don't lump us in with the Scousers :fist:

We're on the M60 now, the 62 is for you Yorkshire and Liverpool folks

[Alf]

That's The Smiths, Oasis and The Roses I've done, I'll save the best Manchester band until last and do The Monday's next.I said I was gonna do the Happy Mondays here back in 2019. I never did. But the time has come. I know at least Annie will appreciate it and if my audience is 1 person then that's good enough for me.

Looking back at some of my placings with this Stone Roses list, I'd change a few of those around now.

Happy Mondays coming up soon.

[AnnieK]

Excited Alf :love:

You just doing Mondays or chucking in some Black Grape too?

[glib]

I only know Made of a stone, think it’s called, if that’s even by this group

[Alf]

Excited Alf :love:

You just doing Mondays or chucking in some Black Grape too?Just Mondays.

[Beso]

Fools gold all day for the funky.

[Alf]

Fools gold all day for the funky.Have you got the Funk?

[Alf]

I'd change my number 1 to "Bye Bye Badman" love that song.

[Beso]

Have you got the Funk?

I will have soon, I'm about to cook my dinner, then I'm going to give my comment on each video, as they are in my top 5 bands of all time.

[AnnieK]

Ahhh, I find Fools Gold really over rated.
Bye Bye Badman is a good shout

Shoot You Down


im_7XddNWRY

Music is all about mood, a forgotten favourite of mine. I'm wondering if john peel ever played this because I have vivid memories of my bed and this song.

One of the early tracks, I love the drops. One that I would have higher just for the vividness it gave me just now...

All Across the Sands


-EEN6UYJP58

Wishy washy, billy brag would be proud though..

[Alf]

Don't get too hung up on the placings I put them in. I think I just did it off the top of my head. I probably should have done a top 30 or 40 because I can see I missed out some other songs I like.

My fave <3

[Alf]

Can you do some Sheffield bands, monkeys/pulp for us yorkies? :)I only do East Yorkshire.

"Is it Dublin with it's culture and it's wit? Madrid with it's market square? Paris with it's bustling cafes? Hull with it's musical flair"

[Alf]

I will do the Arctic Monkeys for you Kizzy.

[Zizu]

I will do the Arctic Monkeys for you Kizzy.


I absolutely loved the Arctic Monkeys for the first two albums but then lost interest somewhat.. keep thinking to try their newer stuff

Actually it’s probably the first album plus all the b Sides and EPs etc that I really loved .

Maybe Fluorescent Adolescence off the second
