Friday's Forgotten Classic - 16th July 2010

So hopefully this will be the first in a regular feature of forgotten classic tunes. They may be great songs which were loved at the time, but have been forgotten since, or maybe ones which never got the recognition they deserved (as with this first one).

The first (which is the inspiration for this segment) is one of my favourite ever songs. Most people who know me will have heard this song, and most (i hope) have loved every second of it!! It also wins the prize for best title :-)

'You are the generation who bought more shoes and you get what you deserve' by Liverpool-based duo Johnny Boy, is (in my opinion) the perfect pop song!  Released back in august 2004, it reached only number 50 in the charts, but this wall of sound epic deserved so much more!  The beautiful melodies, jangling guitars and rising crescendos are combined with a message to make you think.  A true classic and i dare anyone to say otherwise!!
