Re: The Sundays!!!!!

I love The Sundays. Don't think Sixpence sounds like them very much, though. They remind me of The Innocence Mission rather than The Sundays. The only thing close to a Sundays riff is that damn "Kiss Me" song, and if the singer wasn't a hottie, that song would suck....well, it does suck, but she's still sexy.¿ i)Gene.(They got fed up with the comparisons,wrote 'Where are¿ they now?' specifically to sound like a Smiths songs,¿ and...er... no one noticed!)
I noticed! I like Gene [REVELATIONS SUCKS!!!], but Moz is an obvious influence. If they say otherwise, they are lying.¿ ii) Belle and Sebastien (More the lyrics than the actual¿ music....)
Agreed. After all, they had a line about Johnny going Electronic.¿ v) Rialto
Disagree. It's hard to pinpoint where they are coming from, but it seems like Louis is getting his influence from films rather than other singers. And, the recording quality sounds more "Beach Boys" than "The Queen is Dead". Great band, but not really a Smiths influence.¿ vii) James (The Smiths covered 'What's the world', and James¿ covered 'We hate it when our friends become succesful')
Hmmm.. Maybe. Just remember that in the early days of James, they were copying the Manchester sound. I honestly think they have their own thing going, but they just might--after all, both camps have mutual respect.
