I think I was right. Blur are an obvious example. But The Charlatans were for me proof of it. In the first place, Martin Blunt had been in mid 80s mod band Makin' Time (if you've never heard of them search them out - there are a couple of blogs around with their best of in rar form). <BR/><BR/>Makin' Time had toured with - and their singer Fay Hallam had married into - The Prisoners (mid 80s mod/punk/garage featuring James Taylor later of the James Taylor Quarted on organ) and Only One I Know sounded suspiciously like The Prisoner's version of Hush. <BR/><BR/>And then there was the taking drugs and dancing all night to imported dance music. But I wouldn't know about that..... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-40605301655976726072008-01-28T17:45:00.000+00:002008-01-28T17:45:00.000+00:00The Charlatans should never have been lumped in wi...The Charlatans should never have been lumped in with the baggy/Madchester movement. They delivered so much more than that over a long period of time.<BR/><BR/>Rob Collins. A bit like John McGeouch. You never really knew how good he was until he was no longer around and you listened that bit more closely to his playing on records.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090608248723528292noreply@blogger.com
