The Big Pink Apology

It was inevitable that as soon as I start listing bands who aren't worth the hype (Feb 14th post) I would find myself relistening to their albums and having to offer a retraction for at least one.
And so it is with 'A Brief History of Love' by The Big Pink. Yes, it's yet another band obsessed by the 80s but, in this case, that means more than wearing Amstrad green/grey outfits and sporting ridiculously gelled barnets. This is the 80s of the Jesus and Mary Chain rather than the Human League and, as with BRMC, perhaps I should know better. But, for now at least, they have won me over.
So all hail The Big Pink, who must have only made my previously "over-hyped" list via a typo. From somebody else. Idiot.
