Fair play. 

 

Saw them at Reading festival literally weeks after they released Humbug. They headlined the Saturday night and came on AFTER the Prodigy. Needless to say it was fucking garbage (who wouldn't be after them?) . That said, that headline gig at Glastonbury a year or so after they released their first song was a fucking stormer. 

Saw them headline Reading in 2002. One of the best sets I've ever seen. Was half dead from the Offspring beforehand, but still. Mad that Leeds had (half) a GnR set after that...

Fuck you Mook, listen to it anyway. Best breakup song ever. 

Aye, it's great & I'd never heard it before you posted it a few weeks back.

Like a lot of things, my indifference to Small Faces is probably based on ignorance. I should try harder but previous attempts haven't garnered anything particularly likeable.

Small Faces are overall contenders...

It's also not the Small Faces.

Some of them were still small.

I've missed it pal - will go back.

Usually only see your posts when they are quoted by someone else, not sure why to be honest.

Oye kumquat.

 

Are you talking about the "Small Faces" clip with Rod Stewart singing? This is good because, no thanks to you, it should be decided whether Small Faces/Faces be judged as one. 

 

Again, no thanks to you.

I've never listened to a single song by the Small Faces. Therefore Arctic Monkeys get my vote by defaut.

 

I have however heard a song the The Faces.

WHAT!!!???

 

You said you had never heard a song from Small Faces. You've still not.

 

You heard one from Faces, that number is two.

 

And you have already squandered your vote.

Yep I've heard one song of The Faces. Probably the one most people have heard but that one was ace as well.

 

I'm happy with my vote for Arctic Monkeys as they recorded an album and became really successful at a time when most popular music seemed to eminate from the direction of Simon Cowell.

No contest.

 

I have nothing against the Arctic Monkeys but the Small Faces were top class & had one of the great singers of all time.

No worries.

 

The Small Faces - Faces - Humble Pie - Rod Stewart - Peter Frampton vein is one of the richest in rock history.

Hard to argue with Stevie.
