Blinded by the Lights does an incredible of making you feel like your actually in the nightclub. It’s a bit of a masterpiece.

[@gingerelvis]

The Streets where the absolute highlight of my weekend. I went off on my own leaving my friends to watch The Cure, ended up enjoying the whole set with a girl I didn't know also on her own. We sang, we danced, we cried then we hugged and went off into the night. Until next time.

[@Percepti0nIsReality]

So happy Mike Skinner is back on his grind! whhat a legend

[@brandnewday2750]

Blinded by the lights makes me feel empty, kinda heartbroken, and also like I’m missing out on something. It always did. Not sure any other tune has ever done that

[@ClaudioSanchezCC]

Blinded by the lights is forever a song that makes me feel like coming up stone cold sober.

[@SwantonSexBomb]

Blinded By The Lights is a remarkable rap poem, that whole album is class.

[@calibunninpoet7329]

My fav streets song. That tune meant the world when i.was 16 and.on e in a field

[@craigtarbotton7289]

Still listening to this album in 2024. Still love it as much now as i did back then..

[@TorDrums]

That Blinded repeat synth is shivery, every time I hear it, live or recorded same reaction! Banger.

[@JohnBoyBeattie]

You forget how great Mike Skinner is. The true definition of an artist, he creates masterpieces with words.

[@lindsayrogers6690]

I’m 67 and love this. My mate Tony Wilson pioneered dance music and would have applauded Mike Skinner. Urban poetry at its finest.

[@calibunninpoet7329]

Last song before this on my playlist was digital by joy division

[@NealSinclair]

RIP Tony Wilson ♥️

Tony Wilson was a true legend and did sooo much for music and giving big breaks for up and coming band's respect where due rip.

[@andrewimray337]

Mike skinner is massively massively underrated, excellent performance

[@Eclectic_City]

Blinded by the lights was huge tune for me. As a kid from Chicago who visited the UK, this track seemed to resonate with so many experiences of my youth. This became one of my favorite songs when I saw Kidulthood tho! Bigups to The Streets, a true legend.

He’s class! Doing a great job with Kasabian now too and back with The Music. Class act.

Blinded by the lights is the perfect capture of taking pills in the club back in the day. The streets were amazing in their day!!

What a performer. Blinded by the lights is a classic!

[@Willbailey862]

Mate the streets got fully screwed over, John Peele stage was too small for them, half the crowd couldn't fit in the tent and you couldn't hear them outside of the tent, had to leave after two songs

[@Dom-mw8gk]

Goosebumps never lie !

[@robertfrost8264]

THANKS SO MUCH to the BBC from a dude at his desk in Rochester, NY. These videos are so incredibly enjoyable.

[@getthoseskills4451]

What an artist. Britain does it best. Huge shout from the US. Loving The Streets and also other various UK based electronic acts like The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Goldie, Sqaurepusher, Faithless, Burial, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack, Stereo MCs, Orbital, Four Tet, Unkle, Chase and Status, The Bug, Allflaws

[@boxmad5523]

He’s right, people forget Original Pirate Material was a major force in helping Grime become more mainstream, without him we might not have seen Kano, Skepta, Giggs etc get into the mainstream, not to mention he also discovered Pro Green and Example. Skinner is a legend

I litterally cryed at the End. What a great moment

Man, glad they're still playing. Playing big. Bigger, even. Just remember not quite paying attention to them at Reading one year, cos my friends (there) didn't feel any connection to the EDM scene, and it was really rather early in the afternoon still.
