The Boo Radleys have always been one of my weaknesses. Formed in Wallasey, England in 1988, with singer/guitarist Sice, guitarist/songwriter Martin Carr, bassist Timothy Brown and now Placebo drummer Steve Hewitt. The band split in 1999. They had their 15 minutes of fame with Wake up Boo!, from their 1995 Wake Up album, but had recorded some excellent work that earned them credit with Indie/Britpop/shoegazing lovers. The songs in that album will always remind me of the great spring of '95 in Liverpool. Stuck on Amber is one of the pop gems it contained (you can download it here)Even if it isn't hit material like Wake up Boo! or Find the Answer Within, it is amazingly beautiful and catches the spirit of the band.
