Does anyone else remember and love the HOUSEMARTINS (they once described themselves as the 4th best band from Hull) They broke up in the 80's and lead singer Paul Heaton when on to form The Beautiful South? I am obsessed with this magnificent band, my fav song is a Bside called "I bit my lip". ANY OTHER FANS?

Loved them.
Happy Hour Again, Caravan Of Love - brilliant.
And let's not forget Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, Pizzaman, etc.
I think The Beautiful South are excellent too.

I adore The Housemartins! Fatboy Slim used to be the bass player! I bought The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death just before christmas and i havent stopped listening to it since.
Who Needs The Limelight is my favourite song, with Paris in Flares a close second.
(by the way the first, second and third greatest bands in Hull were Red Guitars, Everything but the Girl, and The Gargoyles!)

I never find it constructive when people answer just to disagree.....but I have too because this is something very strange. I cannot say that they have bad voices or that their songs are particularly bad (there are a lot lot worse) but whenever I hear them I get really irritated.....I feel it creeping up my neck...very weird. I cannot explain my dislike of them.......

when my son was about 4 years old he used to do a crazy dance and go a bit mental whenever he heard "Happy Hour" :-)
