england's as happy as england can be: the sundays - "reading, writing and arithmetic" poll

i have the orig RT press, always sounded fine t' me

of the cd that is

I had the pic disc version, but it was off-centre which put a big dampener on it.

can't be sure. its the only sundays song I really love

You seem awfully sure of that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I feel sad for "A Certain Someone", LOVE the rawk drama especially at the end.

TWENTY YEARS!

think i will never not love this album

^^^

such miserable weather

easily one of the best records of all time. "Can't Be Sure" just gave me chills, what a sleeper, the textures on that song. i cannot with Harriet's voice.

TWENTY YEARS!

The post says 20 years, the URL says 25 years, and if you click through, the article itself, from 2010, is titled "30 Years On: Remembering The Sundays' Reading, Writing and Arithmetic".

(I guess the quietus goes back and updates their article titles/links to mark the passing of time?)

haha impressive staffing resources

I remember reading a good interview with the group from years ago in some travel magazine. i remember them being super honest about how hard success was and being perfectionistic, it was refreshing and enabled me to understand their catalog

There’s a very good bandsplain pod on them

oh from last year! cool

Love that Alice Donut toured with them - that musta been a bill.

sounds like a fun night in the tour bus

Breihan's wonderful essay on "Here's Where the Story Ends": https://www.stereogum.com/2248843/the-alternative-number-ones-the-sundays-heres-where-the-story-ends/columns/the-alternative-number-ones/

I think it's an absolutely beautiful song but it was always more of a song that sounded like it was written for a film than a go-to on the record

Would love to see a Blind poll; Blood On My Hands is one of their best imo.

ha that's cool about The QUIETUS thing.
