Played their first album yesterday, not listened to it since my dad had it on repeat, every car journey 20 odd years ago 😁forgot how good it was. What an era for music!

[@Boabywankenobi]

I spent about 3 hours in 1998 waiting for this song to come on Donna Air's MTV show so I could record it on VCR. The song that turned me on to Drop-D tuning. Many years later, the great Chris Cornell said Kelly was the best singer he'd heard in years. That's enough sign off as you'll ever need.

[@paulonline123]

ahah I used to do the same thing! MTV Select with the delectable Donna Air.

[@omadamadao4429]

Drop d, i thought it was only use for metal riffs,

[@raulvegafonseca4334]

The (main) tuning of Soundgarden by the way. Those are my two favourite bands!!!! I do love them

[@jharri7908]

I stole this album from hmv Brent Cross

Been looking for this for god knows how long and only ever knew the tune to it, like beat for beat as well... Finally remembered it was on a CD from The Sun Newspaper my dad used to play in the car🙌🙌🙌

[@jackt.ripper7272]

The Bartender and the Thief When you think about it he's watching every word you say, dazed And when he's sussed you out he calls her up, and out she comes and hustles us Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered He watched the lesbian talk, she kissed and groped but mostly talked in lust, crushed He couldn't make the call, his eyes were gripped on licking tongues, enough's enough Failed for once Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered Saved what they stole to meet at the altar, place where they first set eyes on each other Flew to the sun to start life all over, set up a bar and robbed all the locals Doo-doo-n-doo-doo-doo

[@rebeccagriffiths2440]

[@TheDon101277]

Simply due to their early stuff not having as much global attention. I think when they tried to cater for the global market they lost something (not only the drummer). Performance & Cocktails is their best album but have some awsome tracks that come after.

[@northzero2390]

David, he said millions. It has not reached two million so therefore it's singular. He was correct.

[@meirionowen5979]

unique voice, Kelly has. Treacle, Golden Virginia and gravel. Incredible! But get this .. . purely by chance the other day, I switched to the car radio after listening to the 'phonics on CD and they were playing a Bonnie Tyler track, I forget which one. But I did think "bugger me, she could be his mother,'. Obviously she isn't, but it's a bit odd with them both being Welsh 'n all. Look up one of her songs and you'll see what I mean.
