@GDarrenStout Awesome, glad you got to hear it today.
There's a story behind that song too - it involves Noel and the girl who "saved" him back in 1994.
@JulienceUK It's amazing how many bands I love come from Manchester. Joy Division - Closer, one of my all-time favorite albums.
I believe The Chameleons are also from just outside Manchester?
@ppearlman 100% they did. I bought the CD in college and they totally did the cover & album title in that retro jazz style.
That album itself became hugely influential in punk rock.
@KirkMcalpin3@jonnyrmitch Right on. Had a couple older neighbors/friends when I was growing up, huge Dead fans. Had been to 200 shows, had the live tapes, etc.
One of them was/is a great photographer, took photos of Jerry and the band in concert. I borrowed some of their other albums ;-)
@allrockmusic The Sound and Comsat Angels.
Also, as mentioned in the replies: Replacements, Chameleons, HΓΌsker DΓΌ could have all been a bit bigger if the circumstances were right.
