Popular conspiracy theories link him closely to a secret service/ CIA plot

Fox92 Posted 6 December 2018 Posted 6 December 2018 RIP. I’m not massively into Buzzcocks but I know how important they were.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 6 December 2018 Posted 6 December 2018 Probably my favorite punk band . Bet most of the posters on here have never heard of him.

One minute you're buzzing..... over to you Alf. Can't bring myself to joke about this one, I'm afraid. One of my all-time favourite bands. Remember being absolutely blown away, as a mixed-up 15-year-old, hearing them do "Ever fallen in love" on TOTP, then getting to hear "What do I get?", another emotional roller-coaster. Gradually got into all their singles and albums. A truly, truly great band - brilliant punk-pop singles - catchy yet raw with emotion, then innovative albums, distinctive, experimental sound.... Shelley did some interesting solo stuff, too, after they split: e.g. the stunning "Homosapien". For anyone who doesn't know their stuff well but likes something they hear, it's well worth getting "Singles Going Steady", their singles compilation - particularly if you're young and emotional. "Love Bites" is probably my favourite album.

You gave me an alternative to Abba, Boney M, Bee Gees etc. NOISE ANNOYS ?

One day you're occupying the centre ground, next day you're occupying consecrated ground. A bit surprised at this one. He seemed like one of those who'd live to 100.....the days when there were credible, effective leaders in British politics, eh?
