[['''The Fall]]''' are a [[Post Punk]] band from Manchester, England. The favorite band of legendary [[The BBC|BBC]] DJ [[The Last DJ|John Peel]], The Fall were formed in 1976 by iconoclastic weirdo [[Face of the Band|Mark E. Smith]], and since then the band has had [[Revolving Door Band|more lineup changes than perhaps any band ever]], with Smith being the [[I Am the Band|sole constant member]]. Other than Smith, the band has had a handful of members that are beloved by fans and spent long tenures with the band, but bandmembers often quit or are fired with almost every album (in fact, after the release of ''Fall Heads Roll'' in 2005, the entire band quit on Smith (excluding his keyboardist wife Elena Poulou) in the middle of the night while the band was staying at a hotel in the American Southwest).
