That bloke looks nothing like Bob Marley

He didn't have a dog for starters.

That was possibly the least racist GIS for 'bob marley dog'

Just a bit of fun, let's be cool

Still time for Jump Grave Slacks (DJ Top Buzz Mix) to make the top five.

I think you'll find that single was credited to the Soup Dragons and the rumours that Tunes was behind it were apocryphal

History is written by the winners.

GH: It was very pleasing to see Tunes release this heartfelt warning on the dangers of engaging in dancing to rhythm-dominated musics rather than contemplatively smoking a Petterøe's and gazing off into the Northern Lights to the sound of SUB: INSERT NAME OF CLASSICAL MUSICS MAN IN HERE.Why he chose to remix it with a bunch of samples from The Muppet's Christmas Carol I am at a loss to explain for.

this is some britishes thing I can safely ignore, yes?

"These are dem word from my grandaddy! BO! These are dem word from my grandaddy! BO! Don't feel 'shamed to feel pscyh spice ant legs!"

You ingore Tunes at your peril! As a friend of mine found out to his own cost in the Ducie in Levenshulme one night in '94.

Tunes' collaboration with Ian Brown of Barron Knights tribute act The Stoned Roses caused controversy in some quarters when TV Quick's Richard Arnold pronounced it "not strictly for the headstrong". But it proved a huge hit with fans, as it poll placing proves.

MC Tunes is BELGIAN ffs unbelievable

What do you think of when you think of Belgium? Poirrot, Tintin, Front 242 and MC Tunes smoking a Benson and Hedges down an alleyway.

MC stands for mussels & chips.

Tunes Splits The Herring.

Ooh, Ooh! The Clapping Song!

"So many lols" was when he was still Nicky Hodgson, so doesn't count.

ty Spotify for finally allowing me to hear this whole album

TUNES HARDSONS THE ATOM

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I have been contacted today by the Metropolitan Police who have informed me that several of the email accounts used to collate the MC Tunes poll may have been hacked by private investigators employed by a national newspaper. Given the circumstances I have decided to suspend the results thread until these allegations can be fully investigated. It has been suggested to me by the Met that many other ILM polls of the last 5 years may be seriously flawed as well and should not be taken seriously.

Sincere apologies

fair play to him ...

you know i could add that dust junkys album to the current lonely obsessions thread ...

despite my deep, abiding love for Tunes i've never knowingly listened to the Dust Junkys

Reading this and the hardson mix tape thread in the same month has helped me reduce my medication by 25%.

ok, shit got real :
