The only FYC song I like is their remake of 'Suspicious Minds'.  Love that one...

I give it an 8, not because its some great work of art but because of the memories it brings back.

There's a great cover of "Ever Fallen in Love" by The Buzzcocks on this FYC album, which I'd love to hear, as RP has deemed Pete Shelley and his mates unworthy of making the grade here?!?!

{#Stupid}

The Buzzcocks (well, 2 original ones, anyway) are still slugging it out in clubs.  Saw 'em in 2003, and was "enthralled"!!

Until I saw this in writing, I thought they were singing about "Guilty."  It made no sense whatsoever.

Didn't expect to hear this one! I really like this one, but the rest of the output left me cold, all pose and not enough substance. Front man rather loved the image thang......

Their The Raw & the Remix album is more interesting.

Good song. But FYC was the worst concert I have ever been to. I don't think they played a single note the entire evening.

Roland Gift has a discreet sex scene in Stephen Frears' 1987 film "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid".

How about something off the 1st album? Their cover of Suspicious Minds would do nicely.
Definitely second that. Very cool cover. I'd upload but it's on vinyl.
Roland's voice definitely started to grate on me by this album. Steele and Cox input are always welcome though.

Radio stations played this song non-stop in the late 80's. I heard it to the point of nausea back then, and the inane rhythm line instantly brings that feeling back now. I have to assume that the drummer on this song must hate himself.

Have to agree 100%.
