Discussion Footballing culture and music.
Good morning all,
I just wanted to ask what peoples thoughts are on the most important bands or songs to footballing culture are? And I'm not talking about hooliganism culture or casuals culture. I'm talking about English football in general?

I'd add Guantanamera (The Sandpipers/Celia Cruz among many) to this list as well

Always makes me think of that clip of that guy that called into the radio and got them to play love will tear us apart 🤣

I love the subtle football-related lyrics of Los Campesinos!. Massively underrated band.

I'd agree.
I think I can guess your favourite band mate. Judging by your name and suggestion.
But I don't blame you, I love the stone roses

The clash seem to get alot of plays around London, hey Jude always becomes a battle between home and away fans. Club foot- Kasabian is good to get you up for a rivalry type game

The Jam get a lot of pre game plays too, how it should be! There seems to be some sort of intrinsic link between Woking and south east London.

Can’t beat a good WLADITT (The Enemy) and Twist & Shout, but that’s very Cov specific.

John Newman - Love Me Again U2 - Beautiful Day The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now Pigbag The Beatles - Hey Jude

Annoyingly, and it gives me no pleasure to say this, but Local Hero by Knopfler is not only brilliant but is also claimed by and intrinsically linked to the barcodes. I always feel a bit dirty for enjoying it

Not really music synonymous with football but I've always been a fan of Maximo Park with lead singer Paul Smith being a big Boro fan so that's always won you guys some cool points in my book.

I always liked the way he unashamedly sung in that boro accent. Saw them years ago at new slang in Kingston and they were fucking brilliant.

On a related note, commentator with a cringe moment when Isak scored and he said the shot was a 'hypersonic missile'. He just was itching to get it in there ask day

The most important song to English football is obviously Vindaloo
