  • Bad Habits is an album by The Monks, released in 1979. It is a spoof of punk rock led by the former rhythm section of the trad rockers, Strawbs. The songs are composed by Richard Hudson, John Ford and Terry Cassidy. The album was surprisingly, and nearly exclusively, very popular in Canada, but made no impact in the United States, and very little in the band's native United Kingdom. "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face" was a number 19 hit single in the UK Singles Chart. While the album failed to produce further UK chart success, the band were very popular in Canada. "Drugs in My Pocket" was a Top 20 single in Canada in the fall of 1980, and Bad Habits earned double platinum certification in 1982. In 2004, Ford rerecorded "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face" on his solo album Backtracking, released on Whole Shot Records. In 2012, the Canadian musician Thomas D'Arcy organized The Monks Bad Habits Tribute show at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, which featured Ford and members of Sloan, The New Pornographers, Change of Heart, and released a track-by-track cover album. In addition to Canadian musicians such as Chris Colohan, John Kastner, Ian Blurton, and Chris Murphy, Ford contributed to the album. Ford was presented with a double-platinum award for Bad Habits from EMI at the concert. (en)
  • Bad Habits is het debuutalbum van The Monks, opgericht door twee ex-leden van Strawbs, John Ford en Richard Hudson. Het is een album dat ingedeeld wordt bij punk, maar daar veel te zoetsappig voor is. De single Nice legs... haalt de 19e plaats in de Britse hitlijsten. (nl)
