 Actually it's been 'hip' as you say, in the rest of the world since 1959, but I suppose America is the only place that matters as usual.

 What's all this about the Undertones being a great band.....a few weeks ago I made the same comment and was ridiculed for it by you lot, apart from Psuedoscousetwat coming to my defence.
 
 Did you all forget mankie likes them or something, does that mean they're shite again now?

Didn't see that thread, but I found this great thread where you confess that you like listening to Moby while working out. [/b]

Yes, I remember that one, I'm just honest to a fault. Mind you, I haven't heard the song since and don't feel like I'm missing out.
 
 
 It was a Jimmy Eat World song, and I got crap for the Undertones praise....some of you actually came out and said JEW (hmmmm jew, wonder if there's anything to that?) were a good band so it was defo Fergal and the boys that I got the shite for.

Well I love the Undertones. They kept me awake on the long road home from Fletcher's many a time. Although I prefer the earlier more rockin' songs to the later more produced stuff. Haven't heard their new one yet, but am not sure I'll like them as much without Feargal.

well i would never give you shite for liking the orginial undertones or jimmy eat world... like em both... jimmy eat world just write great songs which happen to be insanely catchy.  i have my doubts about the undertones without feargel thou...  sorta like thin lizzy without phil lynott

I thought the same, but my comparison was "Pogues without Shane"

I didn't see the other thread about JEW, but am surprised at the praise they are getting on the board; I found myself not wanting to like them but eventually singing along to the tunes of theirs that come on the radio.

I find JEW infectious, in a good way.

How is that record?
 
 I always tossed them in with AFI, Evanescence etc.
 
 Then I saw a pretty good review on Pitchfork - 8.0
