Of course a slew up people will come and vote that they dont know or like St. Etienne just to spite me. But that's alright, if that's what you do, then you're not a good moral person is all.

Whats the point for crying out loud? Basically, if the votes are similar, it's been hijacked to spite Lord Forth. Get a grip ffs.

They were great when Platini played for them.

How could it be hijacked? I'm only one person. But there are a lot of people in the forum who tend not to like me or some of things things I say about things like Paul van Dyk songs.

Well, at least PB understands me in one regard. New Bevis and Butthead this year for those who may have missed the news.

I don't dislike Scapa Flow - or anyone on this forum. Like I say, lighten up.

I personally love Saint Etienne and think their Smash The System double CD is one of the finest Best Ofs ever released.

Mods, please delete this post and break the internet for being on-topic.

Yeah, I agree with Kris. A great pop group, and another similarity to PSB that the Firthmeister has failed to mention is that Bob Stanley was a music journalist before he turned gamekeeper. The other one went to my old school which makes me Sting.

And Bob Stanley sang on Love etc.

Too Young To Die - The Singles is their Discography, but without the worldwide hits.

I've always had an ambivalent relationship with Saint Etienne. I liked The Sound Of Water - which was a difficult album by any standards - but only a few tracks from Finisterre. Heart Failed, He's On The Phone, Avenue, Pale Movie, and Hobart Paving are magical, but Sylvie and The Boy Is Crying leave me cold.

I prefer their pop persona to their indie identity, and it's the latter which has dominated in my view.
