I'm 44 and got to this music only 3 years back, and I do not regret anything that didn't happen before, cause now I realize and enjoy what's good, and I'm gonna give it over to my sons, and I'm not gonna let loose of this, the Roses, the Inspirals, the Soup Dragons, the Charlatans, Primal Scream, New Order, Joy Division, Northside, Kitchens of Distinction, Sea Urchins, Pastels or any other cool buggers! so enjoy your next 50 years as a youngster, it's only beauty that fades, hahaha!

Just come back from a night out in Manchester and listened to this. Manchester is still Madchester. Love this city.

apparently the Happy Mondays were notorious for that, I love them still :)

The 80s were my childhood years. But I sometimes wished that I had been a teen in the 80s and old enough to see those fantastic bands back then live in festivals and concerts.

Increible cancion, muy buena epoca de happy mondays!!! como ya ven una banda internacional!

This is class live, I'm 15 and prefer the music of 80's onwards today's generation of music is all the same.

Pillin now and fellin good! Thanks Shaun!

Trop trop bon, une de mes chansons preferees...

Wow this makes my face go numb and my eye to lazily twitch just listening to it!

I come on KZfaq to look at the videos. Alot of others just seem to want to pick virtual fights with people they know they're never going to meet, so they can be as brave as they like. Brilliant.

God I love this song so much.

If you've never woke up in the morning and the night before in your memory doesn't look like this then you've never had a good night out.

This was a fucking top song. They once played it at an illegal Warehouse party back in the day and it got a huge roar.

Quality, I wonder how much Shaun remembers from back in day.

These guys will be fantastic at Wychwood Festival this summer!

Yes, Its all the same area, usually catorgorised as Moss Side, it's split into many areas, which you mentioned, except wythenshaw! But every huge city has it's downfalls... but luckily Manchester doesn't have that many. However its credentials are endless; Bowdon, Hale Barns, Flixton, Urmston, Wilmslow, Hale, Bramhall, Didsbury, Knutsford, Alderley Edge, Lymm, Milnron and Gatley... to name some... one incredibly amazing place to live...

i want to know why we can't have music videos like this now. fucking brilliant

my time travel rock n roll bucket list would have definitely included a trip to the Hacienda in Manchester so I could have seen these guys at their zenith

very great bands out there, indeed, such as exit calm, delphic, esser, foals, supergrass, arcade fire, little barrie, the kills, midlake and all them dudes!!!

Shaun wrote fucking amazing lyrics. The lad is a legend.

OH HOW I LOVE THE HAPPY MONDAY! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! Billy Anne Crews Southern Grunge Chick

off to see them today in leopardstown .it is lashing out of the heavens ,,cant wait

INSPIRAL CARPETS, CHARLATANS, ROSES, mondays... Madchester Rave on.

I just loose control when this song come on. 24HPP!!!!

Discovered this band with the movie))

Oh, hellz yeah! Great post!!!

this song just gave me a thing for the happys

...i'm a mondays freak...love this...sold all my video,s and records of them to buy more drugs! ...only joking...or am I?...LofukinLoads!

golden era, mondays, inspirals , roses, charlatans.

Hey man, I think you are right! I love The Mondays dont get me wrong

Me too except Im a Yank...but I feel you I can go from Morbid Angel to Mondays in a second Slayer to Smiths LOL CHEERS MAN!

brings it all back , good stuff take care all andy

This music is just 4 the AA people...just like myself......ha haa....keep on drinking my mates! Mondays 4 ever!!!!!

Hayes Carll and Ryan Bingham are good if you want some country or Americana. Wild Flag is pretty good. Scott Walker's been around forever but I think he has a new album coming out sometime in the next year or two. I saw Best Coast at a music festival recently and they were pretty decent. Again, you have the world in your pocket, start paying attention to music sites, give everything a listen, maybe look around your local music scene. There's a massive, wonderful world of music to be discovered.

you had to be their..chasing cockneys.. and catching em..

Shaun Ryder looks like Peter Kay with that hair cut!

Capture's perfectly the feeling of Manchester at the time (mad as fuck).No other band captures it like these do.

90's man, 90's

great son !!! bez the best..

good song

Brilliant

The MOndays are awsome, END OF.!!!

I have the 'Delightful' 12" EP and it has the best artwork of all their releases, not to mention an amazing version of 'Oasis' on the flip. It's their first release. Throw in the 'Freaky Dancing' 12" EP, the '24 Hour Party People' 12" EP and the 'Squirrel and G-man...' LP and you have their best period, me thinks!

Wow, I heard about it, but thought it was all a myth... So good to know (or to think) that it is true... Such a pitty I'm so far from there... I'm Mexican... Cheers!!

Holy shit this guy sounds like Mark E. Smith. Not 100%, but he definitely grasped the concept.

Looking at this point of vieuw I should agree that we do tend to fantasize about a time we haven't live. :)

There's a ton of great music being made today. It's just not part of the big music industrial complex. I could list a dozen bands off the top of my head that are making music today and are at least as good as the Happy Mondays. If the music you are listening to is mediocre, then listen to better music. In the '80s, we had to look for good music - we might get lucky and have a local radio station that played some, but mostly we had to hunt for it.

Manchester: proud history of being revolutionary! Peterloo, Engels, Arkwright, Peel, 1st Trade Union, 1st Railway Passenger Line/Station, Sufragette movt.,Free Trade, Alan Turing etc Now culture: smiths, buzzcocks, Doves, Joy Div/New Order, Carpets, D. Gough, Chem. Broth, Roses, Verve, James, Charaltans, Engels, Gaskell, Burgess, Halle, Man U & City, Bolton, Bury, Salford, Granada, MIF, Canal St., the Guardian and the HACIENDA

trip trip trip

Mark 'Moose' Day = fucking guitar genius! He's in a band called OK Cola last time I checked (got their CD single off eBay)

happy hour :P

hustej kousek :)

my uncle is in this vid drivin a car when he was bout 12. haha. xx

Class......

this type of song is also called sprechgesang

@JordanClayton09 all about the vibe and the acid mate

cool

1234567... 365... All the timeeee.

Madchester :)

ahah, bez was not the percussionist. was just the dancer. he late danced on The Stone Roses too. eheh

this def was not made when this single was released. the single was released in 86, but this looks like its from the early 90s

yo quiero 24 horas de fiesta

estasy}= 24partypeople. ahh, the 80's

get out the xanax, class tune.

All of those bands have had at least one new album or EP of new music released in the last 12 months or so (except Portishead, which was a whopping five years ago, so sorry about that one, and Rapeman, which I mistakenly included because I meant to include Manorexia - don't ask me how I confused them - and they released Dinoflagellate Blooms in 2011, so again sorry to include something so old as two years; I still think of both as current bands because they currently play live).

Your uncle drove the car in this video when he was only 13?? (gave you a thumbs-up, BTW!)

Neat.

Hahaha, Prof...you need to get out more...get a bit of sunshine.

^^lol

That depends entirely upon your taste in music. If you like hip hop, check out Danny Brown, Death Grips or Shabazz Palaces. If you like hardcore, maybe something like Ceremony or Fucked Up. If you're at all into the indie, multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter thing, Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens are good. With Punk/Indie rock bands, Titus Andronicus, Ted Leo and Male Bonding are good. Jack White's been putting out good solo material. Black Joe Lewis is good for some high energy Soul/R&B.

@VasjaStankovic Time to make 1987 Manchester wherever you are. Invite all of us ... we'll be there with bells on. There are going to be bands and dancers, cause everybody wants to dance when the world feels like it's ending. Just find a good chemist.

@NoMoreElaboratePlans im sure it still is a very special place to be : )

Let's get shitfaced! Cheers mates!

has anyone got Delightful by the Mondays

@NoMoreElaboratePlans looking back it wasn't bad five years ago. They were still ramming out Smiths, Mondays, Oasis, Stone Roses, New Order, Joy Division and other good Northern bands.. Depending on where you went. I'd guess it's not as exclusive as it was then though

i wish I was born in this era I am not made for this day!! happy Mondays inspiral carpets stone roses the best

I just love making connections like that, you have to give me credit for connecting two totally apparently unrelated bands. Its fun, but yeah I dont care

Shaun Ryder is THE shit!!!!

i was born too late -_-

Dead right!

I was definetelly born on the wrong time!I don't belong to my generation at all, and I wish I was nowadays, around my 50's, so I would have had a great time back then!A time with no fake morals and hypocrisis as nowadays, music was made for passion, not exactly for the money! am 30 y.o by the way

Unwoman and Portishead. Or SWANS and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Or Rapeman and Tanya Donnelly. Take your pick. Sorry, but it's difficult to stop at two (and it's only with great effort that I stopped at six!) ;)

that's it, base your cultural learnings on Beavis and Butthead

@MrAsmyth3 jealous! well done!

Compelling.

Vini Reilly - "And that guitarist, what do they call him, Moose, the most useless guitarist I've ever met, had absolutely no idea what he was doing which is particularly interesting since what he is actually doing is the most wonderful, bizarre and creative guitar playing that I've heard for fifteen years"

And I don't think I said "new", I said "making music today". However, if you want only "new", there's Bat Country (sadly already disbanded after the bass player was killed in a tragic shooting) and First Aid Kit (six years is still new enough, I'd say). Or CHVRCHES and True Widow. Or Lanterns on the Lake and Teeth of the Sea.

@hypercatjohn: I see where you're coming from, and I understand. Different times, different ways, per se? I just hate it when people rag on modern music, especially since I know there are great, hardworking bands out there, y'know? I'm sure there was a great vibe with this music, along with other bands of the scene, and just good music in general at the time; I'm not denying that.

Lots of smart songs. THIS one is just a fun dance song that wasn't supposed to be smart. Lemme think on that one, tho...

compton,oakland,long beach,south africa & new york suffer more than manchester

not Manchester son, Moss Side... its notorious

whatever your say!!!! i love shaun ryder

whatever you say flamer im a fan of both bands and thought the songs sounded similar, if you were in Happy Mondays please forgive me. HA

madeforit! THE DRUGS DO! WORK ! (in moderation)

@frank4034 Hey, at least they gave proper time to Coca-Cola. Those of us in the southern states take that verrry seriously, mate.

@frank4034 If somebody told me that actually happened... I wouldn't disbelive them.

@ninatje100 im 20 and feel the same way

@suretie maybe you forgot about the smiths

@ninatje100 it had even more fake morals and hypocrites, but at least they were real about it, nothing was hid. i am 22 years old, and all i want in this world is to go back in time and be in my 20's on the 80's.. all i want is good music, i was happier before the hanna montana's, lady gaga's, bruno mars, rihana's and shit. this "pop" music actually got me to realise i miss the backstreet boys, blue (and so on), and i NEVER liked them.

@throbasonic1982 you could start a fight in a phone box !!
