Does humor belong in music? FZ

Yes, for sure. Another prime example: Half Man Half Biscuit.

They started in the mid-1980s as a post-punk band. What makes them stand out are the lyrics by lead vocalist/guitarist Nigel Blackwell which are a commentary on popular culture and life in small-town England. Initially, their sound was influenced by punk.

 

 

Later, it turned more mainstream rock/pop. The song below is addressing soccer referees; however, the gist is also applicable to American football.

Until a few days ago, I was not aware that Neil Young had played with Devo. Here is a remarkable version of "Hey Hey my my".

Pere Ubu, which is essentially song writer and vocalist David Thomas plus a varying cast of musicians, have been around since the mid-1970s. Their most recent album features a song, "Worried Man Blues", which reminds me of one of my favorite musicians, Captain Beefheart.

I remember it well. Obviously I was in the Oasis camp but I do like Blur as well and have grown to appreciate them more the older I've got! 

 

I remember buying the Parklife album from a store in town after the soccer game I was going to was postponed so I had some spare cash. End of the Century is probably my favourite track on that album. After that I like Country House, Charmless Man & The Universal all from The Great Escape. 

 

The early to mid-90s were just fantastic all round. I'm so glad they were my growing up years.
