500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 430 Felt - Me And A Monkey on the Moon

 


Felt number among the greatest underachievers of the Eighties. Frankly, it was a long list and another book I hope someone will get round to writing. I think it's interesting subject matter.

Felt were the masters of self mythology, again in a decade when any number of bands mythologised the fact that they were under apreciated and their chart positions didn't match up to what they saw as their their value.

This is Fekt's farewell statement after ten years, ten albums, ten singles. The record came out in 1989 and got as much attention and sold as many records as pretty much all of their albums. That is, not much. It's a sweet, melodic and elgaic record.
