The Fall are an English Post-punk band, formed in Prestwich, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester in 1976. Named after the English translation of Albert Camus' novel, La Chute (1956), they have released twenty-six studio albums and scored three UK Top 40 hit singles. The band's work has been the subject of numerous compilation albums, including a collection of material recorded for the John Peel show between 1978 and 2004. Peel was a staunch supporter of the band, and as of 2007 they have made a record twenty-four sessions for the programme - a feat which has led to the widespread belief that The Fall were one of Peel's favourite bands.
Since their inception, The Fall have been through fifty-eight line-up changes, with leader Mark E. Smith being the only constant member. Smith's enigmatic lyrics and drawling delivery, coupled with the idiosyncratic and innovative music of the band, has resulted in a subtle influence on several generations of musicians.
