  • Friends Again came up with a great run of singles, but their very first, Honey at the Core, which they sadly rerecorded in an epigonic way for their disappointing first - and only - album (I think it's the way with Scottish bands to promise a great deal with their singles and then let us down with their first albums), is my very favourite by anybody.
