1. The FallThe anti -cultural Manchester group under the guidance of a poisonous misanthrope, thunderstorms of concert promoters, famous colleagues and just all of mankind Mark E. Smith. The extensive discography of The Fall , in which live concert records prevail, is calculated by dozens of albums and is updated annually: the desire to comment on any aspect of the surrounding reality from the leader of The Fall does not subside with age.
“Always the same, always different,” said about The Fall their biggest fan, the legendary British DJ John Pil. The Fall , located under the iron heel of Smith, play thirty years the same thing, but they are still listening. The cover of their songs was recorded by the flagships of the Indie rock of the 1990s- Pavement and Sonic Youth , they were parodied by The Soude , and the anti-foic bard Jeffrey Lewis wrote a song and drew the comic book The Legend of the Fall about the history of the group. A large career of the LCD SoundSystem group began from the I'M Losing My Edge , parodying the grumbling manner of Mark Smith, and other famous zero indie collections were taken from The texts Fall is a name.
Mark E. Smith is an example of a radical indie musician who has incredible stubbornness and inanimateness become symptoms of a mental illness, and the desire for independence turns into mania. For more than thirty years of Smith's activity, who reproached even an exemplary independent label rope in rowing and the desire to profit Trade , replaced dozens of records-however, in the 1990s, when a big business decided that underground rock is the new Eldorado, even The Fall survived a short romance with Major.
