That last part of "Alternative Ulster" sounds just like "Making Your Mind Up" by Bucks Fizz.

I generally agree with all this, tho I might sub Wonderful and Frightening World for TNSG.

Heh. Marky, you're the best, mate.

I also realized the other day that "The Olympian" (Skids) and "To Be Someone" sound pretty similar.

It must be a wonderful thing to have such fine ears.

Of course Big Country supported The Jam on some of their final dates.
