He also wrote the Tour de France theme choon. Edit: channel 4 prog.

One minute fifty seconds, pretty much the perfect pop song imho...

best last line to a song

Gutted Rest In Peace...

 

[Buzzcock]

Sad news

I think its a bit ghoulish to have 5 threads on the subject tho

Just goes to show how well respected the bloke was. He was a true innovator back then . Some of those perfect pop tunes are timeless.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Moved away from his own pulsebeat.

RIP

Desperate news.

 

[Mantobar]

Saw them on the first gig for years. Think it was 12 years ago
Lester Sands one of their later tunes proved they still had it. Can think what cd it came off

 

[EDGE]

Glad I finally got to see them at Kubix this year.

Great band.

RIP.

I'm sure Lester Sands was an old Devoto Shelley collaboration .

Feeling old, loved AMIADK, Love Bites. Followed them around the NE, trawled record shops (remember them!) to find Spiral Scratch.

Fave song? Autonomy? Nostalgia?

Orgasm Addict?

16 again?

Thanks for songs that meant something to me...

It was. Released in 1977.

RIP... loved the buzzcocks, still listen to them most days on my old 'punk' playlist

 

[Buzzcock]

One of my favourites

 

[Sam Handwich]

Truly shocked by this. The first two albums are up there, in my eyes anyway

 

[RichDevoto]

Friggin sad news indeed. Another hero gone.

 

[mini-x2]

Shit man. My favourite punk group and the most melodic. RIP.

There's no doubting his talent

AMIADK still holds up well today .
