Yes, the standard "eighties" reference I've heard far too many times.

If someone slagged off Killing Joke I would just feel sorry for their lack of musical insight, but wow u must really love those arseholes. I am entitled to say exactly what I want & I will say it again. For me Big Country were utter shit! Number one albums means nothing to me, so I guess we are very different people. In fact I think Killing Joke have become too accessible with this LP. More underground the better. And I don't like K Bushes music either. So stuff it up yer haggis!
