Lurkst Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not sure how well known he was in North America but certainly a unique "singer". I did enjoy a bit of The Fall (in moderation)... https://youtu.be/GjrslHUgUa8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaportrailer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 “You don’t have to be weird to be wired...you don’t have to be weird to be weird.” - MES Mark E Smith wasn’t Damo Suzuki, despite singing about him. He was his own thing, although influenced by Damo, drugs, writers, England, and alcohol. He was totally wired, he wrote Elastic Man, he was kurious oranj, he liked megaphones and declaiming things thru them, and he wrote great words. He was Mark E Smith, and the world is a more stunted place without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Really loved The Fall back in the day. Have continued to pay attention through the years even if I didn't have the earlier passion. Got to see them in the late '80s in D.C. at the old 9:30 Club and Brix Smith gave me a swig of wine from the bottle she was drinking from after the show (the 9:30 Club was as much a hang-out bar as it was a concert venue and some bands would join the fun after the show). Fun times. Anyway, this one has always been my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxDq5KKNVbA p.s. Rush and The Fall share a weird affinity in a sense. Where Rush is "The World's Biggest Cult Band" The Fall is "The Biggest Band that Never Made it Big." They are also two of the most prolific bands ever. RIP Mark.
