I got off me me Tits with Andy Bowen

For a moment there I thought that was the name of the band.

Thanks to Brakn for mentioning the Hatfields, and let's not forget National Health. As for Family, Entertainment is permanently etched on my aural memory, but for my money Bandstand is the only good album they made after that. Some bands hit on a sound without choosing to or even wanting to - what goes down as their 'classic' sound may not be what they wanted to sound like at all. The members of Family thought Entertainment was over-produced, and re-recorded several tracks off it later. But then, Joy Division apparently hated the sound of Unknown Pleasures - it's still a great album.
