Re: When did you get in touch with Julian Cope music?

I bought the Treason single and the first album and I liked the whole Scot Walker in a flying jacket thing but nothing really connected with me beyond a single here and an album track there until Peggy Suicide came out. I hated the Madchester scene and all that Second Summer of Love stuff. And Grunge was even worse in many ways. Peggy seemed like an amazing, radical and timeless reinvention of mainstream guitar rock and what you could say in a rock song. Clever and poetic without being pompous or pretentious and straight forwardly rocking without doing the Geffen era Aerosmith thing of ladling the guitars on with a trowel.
