And not forgetting The Skids.

Re: The Undertones
My Perfect Cousin is definitely a great track.
Never was impressed even a little bit by Sham 69 and when I saw Jimmy Pursey live in the mid-80s he just looked like Leslie Crowther. Which wouldn't have been too bad if he'd appeared with Peter Glaze.
The Skids were ok and Into The Valley was very ok indeed.
The Fall are better than all of them mind, and indeed, better than everybody else too. But of course, that's just my opinion. Well, mine and about 30 or 40 other people anyway.

Re: The Undertones
Yup, loved the Undertones, heard a great cover of one of their songs done by a French lounge band, if you remember and loved that era check out some seriously cruisy tunes over at http://www.mixcloud.com/fbcol/best-of-nouvelle-vague/
