The Fall:

The Fall have been called "the most prolific band of the British post-punk movement."[2] They have released thirty-two studio albums as of 2017, and more than three times that number when live albums and compilations (often released against Smith's wishes) are taken into account. They were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and described them as his favourite band, famously explaining, "they are always different; they are always the same."[4]

When I'm dead and gone
My vibrations will live on
In vibes on vinyl through the years
People will dance to my waves

That's a damn shame. He put out some great records and deserved a bigger audience. This is one of my favorites, it's about an immigrant rabbit and a serial killer

"66 current and former members of The Fall have vowed to keep the band going after the death of frontman Mark E. Smith. 'Nobody is irreplaceable,' they chorused. 'It's what he would have wanted"

I think MES would have appreciated the humor.
