If The Beatles Had Read Hunter... The Singles - The Wonder S ...

Way back in 1993, when The Wonder Stuff released construction for the modern idiot, they were winning accolades from even the strongest, stone headed reviewers. The NME were even running comparisons between them and bands the like of Madness, Squeeze, Slade and the Jam, describing them as "shaping up to be one of Englands greatest bands of the 90 s". Then with no warning and with no real reason other than "for the fk of it" they decided to split.

Construction For The Modern Idiot - The Wonder Stuff

The wonderstuff formed in The mid-eighties, and were one of the biggest influences to my music listening there has ever been.
