[Leaping Lindner]

He said, "We don't like peace camapigners 'round here"
As he nailed another one to the wall

I know this one but will give others a chance. Here's a hint 3 hour show at Thebby in 93 - awesome.

Nirvana/whoever that over-rated yank band that sang "blisters in the sun" was... (ie Viole(n)t Femmes!)

Billy Bragg - was listening to Talking to the Taxman today!

'Accident Waiting to Happen'

[zipzap]

Looking like a born again
Living like a heretic
Listening to Arthur Lee records
Making all your friends feel so guilty
About their cynicism
And the rest of their generation
Not even the government are gonna stop you now

Damn, damn, damn you Leaper!
I was 15 at the time, obsessed with Don't Try This At Home, and was going with my then girlfriend to that gig. Then we broke up!
I haven't managed to catch Billy since.

C'mon Punky - Violent Femmes rock. Forget Blister in the Sun (sure that's over rated) and the rest of their staffs brilliant. Well crafted, enigmatic pop brilliance.

This has been driving me mad. It's a Lloyd Cole song but when I think of the ones I know It doesn't seem to match......it's a slower one so I'll say "Forrest Fire"

Soooo close! This would be his most well known song though

I have a love/hate thing going with the Femmes. I think they should have packed it in a long time ago but I love the '3' album - very dark and creepy in places.

I'd argue that "Brand New Friend" is his best known song, and it's not that. I'll keep singing in my head and see if I can get it.

Well, this would be his first single, the one that brought him attention for the first time then. Pretentious as all hell but I love it.

3 is a very good album.

Maybe their new music lacks the punch of the past - I haven't bought anything of there's since Rock! But, I don't think they necesarily should give it in. Saw em at the BDO and it was a huge highlight.

[Leaping Lindner]

Are you ready to be heartbroken? Phew! Now we can all get some sleep.
This one is actually playing at my place as I type. Sad but true. Hint it's a male artist and bonus bun for his real name.....

Once a lifetime twice a day
If you don't work you get no pay
I've been to the east I been to the west
But the girls I like most are the ones undressed

[zipzap]

Well done LL

I must admit I cheated on yours and Googled it. Thought it had to be some kind of 80s rap though and it was...rap with a silent c however

Pseudo will get this one

I could, but I'm damned if I can think of his real name so I'll be sensible and leave it for someone else. After all I'd only replace it with more of that '80s (c)rap.

Ray Burns for you trivia buffs. Bass guitarist in the 2nd best UK punk band of the late 70's!
As Pseudo has piked out who else wants a go?

[Dogwatcher]

Second best??? Hmmmmm.....Buzzcocks?

Well since nobody else has claimed it, I might as well.

In the spirit of LL, the song happens to be currently playing on my computer. (Not one that you gave me, zipzap)

They exchanged a look
An hour later her voice shook
When her whispering died, she cried
Never wants to recover, she cried

Over 20 years old, British pop band, and anyone else would be utterly ashamed of listening to it

You missed my damned hint, DW...
