Brass Against maybe stretching the pop definition slightly but worthy of a shout out

Ah Kate Rusby’s “My Young Man”. Brings a lump to my throat that one ‘cos of my family background. It’s not pop though.

It’s not pop though.

I know. I don’t care.

Again, hardly top 40 material, but probably need some Beirut in here

Any track that features The Memphis Horns. Any.

It’s not pop though.

I know. I don’t care.

Ooh you rebel.

Teardrop Explodes – Reward
Soft Cell – Torch
Robert Wyatt – Shipbuilding

Does this count?

Fishbone.

Now the sax embargo has been lifted.

When your average STW’er goes to sleep at night this is the dream!

JEEEEEEEZ!!!!

Shout out for Andy Diagram, especially his work in James which is a key part of their signature Sound.
