I really liked UB40. And Red Red Wine was a cover. If you’re going to moan about bands who are really good at what they do you could at least have the common decency to moan about songs they actually wrote :rolleyes:

I didn’t moan about UB40’s version of Red Red Wine, though if I was gonna moan about UB40 it would be that they have done SO many cover versions - I mean, three albums at least of the fucking things.
And they ARE good at what they do, if what they do is bland white(ish) reggae

I saw them live at the Queens Hall in about 1981. It was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. Apart from all the old people hanging about at the back ;)

Well they were all about 100. Ali Campbell’s grandparents had come along because it was a Battle of the Bands. They won! Damn good for a suburban primary school, I thought :)

@mrs h - Oh that’s cheating, of course they were good IN 1981!
It’s just the intervening 27 or so years that I take issue with.
One In Ten = good song.

Ah see, you are mistaking the UB40 That Did Their Own Stuff to the UB40 the rest of us know them for - the World’s BIggest Cover Band years.
It’s reggae watered down for white people for whom Bob Marley is too much.

Ooops! Going off topic again. Although naturally I would never really go off topic, because they’re bloody gorgeous too. Except that the “hazelnut in every bite” is a lie :(

I just realised I mentioned Queen twice in this thread. Except the second time I gave way more detail so I think my hatred of Queen has grown since August. By Christmas I’ll be advocating Bryan May’s assassination.
