Not Jimmy the Jock, but the band James.
How do fellow posters rate them. Was never really into them in the 80's, but started listening to a lot of there stuff lately, especially the 90's era, and I'm really impressed. A band that seemed to go under the radar most of the time. Some of their lyrics are top notch.

I get the impression they'd be against safe standing.
I ised to have a CD (not sure where I got it from) which had plenty of their hits and all singalongable.
Saw them in Brixton Academy (as i was working up in London) about 3 or 4 years ago and they were just okay.
The singer was bald (he used to have loads of curly locks) and, although this might sound strange, it kind of ruined the gig a bit for me
Not sure what you mean by that? They've been going for 34 years. Kids band for me are One Direction, The Vamps etc and what wrong with liking something 'not in with the in crowd' anyway? I heard a tune the other day that I really liked and didn't catch who it was, I was surprised to find it was by someone called Nial Horan, who was apparantly in One Direction, oh and I really like 'The Blossoms' as well, neither are 'Cool' what ever the hell that means but I dont care. I'm going to see 'From The Jam' tonight.
I went to see James earlier this year and there were more 40 and 50 somethings in the crowd than anyone else. They were very good but disappointingly didn't do 'Sit Down' or the single they had out at the time 'Nothing But Love'
They were pretty good live.
Tim Booth has some crazy wacky moves and I was surprised that he was and is very anti-drugs based on the fact he danced like he is off his face.
You're right.... not the Roses but still very very good band.
Ring the bell... acoustic version - amazing.
When the opening lyrics are
"You're as tight as a hunters trap, hidden well, what are you concealing" then that gives you carte Blanche to pull of a classic, and imo, Say something is up there with the best.
