The Lightning Seeds
Were they really any good?
If there was a thread on here asking that very question then I would probably say, yes, they were quite good.

Re: The Lightning Seeds
In my opinion, yes. Well crafted, inoffensive pop music, accessible to all.
I bet they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they were quite popular, back in the day.

The Pure and Simple song stands out as a classic to this day, surely?

Re: The Lightning Seeds
Yeah 'Lucky You' was the song that came to mind when I read the thread title. Not a band I'd go and see or buy their album, but I liked that tune.Sidney1st wrote:Great for the era and made some songs that will stand the test of time.

Re: The Lightning Seeds
Good band with some top tunes.
I seen them live at Bingley last year. I was a little shocked when a couple of the band appeared to be 20 years old on the big screen though.
