A Singing Mogwai!?

[idunnosomename]

Joe Satriani started singing on his third album and after that common consensus was to let him do it tops once every few years. You could include other guitar bands like The Shadows (after Cliff of course) who started to do the odd vocal

[The Mollusk]

Man... Or Astro-Man? did occasional vocals as well and those tracks were never as good as their regular instrumental sci-fi infused surf-punk.

Actually, their catalogue was about a third vocal from around the start of their career, up to the mid '70s. None of them were ever any good.

Agree on the whole but Mermaid love is pretty sweet.

The first single as The Shadows, 'Lonesome Fella', was a vocal number. As was their very first single, as The Drifters, 'Feelin' Fine'.
You must now listen to all their '80s albums as punishment for your error.

can i become a mormon instead?  probably less hassle

edit fuck jehovah's witness. stop getting shadows wrong!

Top St. Petersburg Twang merchants Messer Chups started off as mainly instrumental, but have gradually put more and more vocals into their songs, which is probably not a good idea , as, for all of her other talents, yer woman Zombierella is not the strongest of vocalists. Also, the pair of them both being of a certain age wittering on about Dracula is a bit embarrassing, to be honest.

[The Mollusk]

I really like Messer Chups but I definitely got all I needed from their first couple of records. The extremely niche theme of their music doesn't seem like it would have the staying power of ... fucking hell how many albums have they got? FIFTEEN?!

You can start with their Eastenders / Howard's Way medley.

I wonder if Arab Strap will get to No. 1 next week. You never know.

Mostly agree, but Universe City is a good 'un.

I'll have to check out that record.

Architects got number one this week so the album charts are unusually guitar-heavy right now.

[MrMrs]

it's pretty good but it won't get no 1 because no one gives a fuck about them, quite rightly

somehow it being made from a wmv makes it bleaker
