    And for a completely useless bit of trivia, it was featured in an Edexcel AS level Music Technology exam question paper this year, so they obviously appreciated it too..

    Yep, Massive Attack are living legends, and Tear Drop is an absolute classic. One of the best 'dance' records ever made. As is Inertia Creeps, Unfinished Sympathy. Pure class, over and over. I am suprrised Blue Lines was not on this 'Best Of', but then that's probably because there are so many great tunes to choose from.

    Unlike most 'dance' acts, thier music always sounds as good as it did when you first heard it. They are very intelligent people.

    If you get the chance, see them live. They don't quite have the same edge as they did many years ago, but when they play thier classics it's just magic.

    Massive Attack are just amazing. Managed to see them live this year at the o2 wireless festival in hyde park. They definately put on one of the best shows of the night. Just a shame they didn't play "I Against I" which has become one of my favourites of theirs lately.

    I bought the collected album when it came out, and of course tear drop is a classic track. Amazing band with some outstanding songs.
