This was a critically aclaimed album of 1995 and arguably Suede’s greatest piece of work. This album is on a par with the best work of bands such as Coldplay and Radiohead and although it did raise their profile it really deserved to make them house hold names. This track has it all, you can almost cut the atmosphere with a knife!

Another band from Manchester, where do they find space in the city to house all these great musicians.? This is a beautiful track of the second album, produced by Phil Spector. Albums like this should be on the music curriculum of every school in the world!

2007 saw Bruce return in fine style again! I thought the album prior to this one “The Rising” would be hard to top but once more he’s managed to pull it off. This single sums up perfectly the state of the music industry!!!

Is this a song about a small boat or a sharp  knife? No matter, its a cracker from back in the days when the fashion was high messy hair, dark eyeliner and knee-length tweed coats bought from Oxfam shops. Oh and you should have seen how the girls dressed to!

They have a new album out next week, and I cannot wait. But lets go back to where it all started with their single “Buck Rogers” this was almost a novelty song and so far removed from the sensitive, intelligent songs they write today. All those lyrics about cider in Devon make me quite homesick…!

If your British and you yearn for the days when Brittania ruled the waves and waived the rules then this is a band for you. With a sound as bombastic as the aircrat carrier the Ark Royal and with a punch like a couple of depth charges this is a band who seriously rock!
