... The Lightning Seeds, one of the best and most underrated British bands of all time. From 1989-1999, they produced some of the best 'pop' songs ever made. Trouble is, when people think of 'pop' they think of manufactured boy bands, wafer-thin girl bands and cheesy productions. Ian Broudie and the crew created perfect three-minute pop songs with genuine musical talent and ability, yet get overlooked for seemingly more "credible" music.

It's not to everybody's tastes, but check out these videos. (And I guarantee you that you will recognise at least one of these songs in the "I Know That Song But I Never Knew Who It Was By" category.)

Liverpool has produced some great bands (The Seeds, Beatles), great soaps (Brookside!!) and some great birds (Ellison). You know what I think I might move there.

Is Gemma Atkinson a scouser? Well she was in Hollyoaks so she is an honourary one.

Another great thing to come from the land of scouse would be my middle-aged former workmate, the best joke teller in the world, he's from (hmm, I wanna say Runcorn?) and has an ENORMOUS Everton tattoo on his arm. How bout dat?

A lot of people from Runcorn sound fairly generically scouse so yeah probably.

Atkinson is a Manc, there's no doubt about that!

Also whatever happened to Cast?

You've probably heard more of them than you think. LOADS of their tracks were used in adverts (yeah, they're ad whores, so what!?)

And of course you MUST have heard Three Lions?

If I had to recommend one or two, I'd say check out 'Lucky You', 'Perfect' and 'Song For No-One'.

Yep. Quality.

There was supposed to be a new Seeds album late last year, but no news since.

I did hear that Broudie's brother died (suicide from the top of Liverpool Cathedral) so maybe that understandably held things up.

In the words of Peter De Lane: thoughts with the family.
