1 of my favorite bands of all time were THE SOUND, with adrian borland, im always amazed how litte they are known.

and as much as i hate the 90's, the band SMOKE amazed me.

to me 2 very desserving bands.

Newwavepop,Sound was a terrific dark rock band!Sure,they had some elements of epic rock like Big Country and U2,but their darkness and pain were what separated from them! All of their albums are wonderfull,but especially the first two ones(jeopardy and fr

Dif Juz and A Certain Ratio: I really dug those two bands when I first got a compilation disc. I can't afford to pay high import prices, so it's a shame since I wanna listen to more of what they have available.

Hands down it's gotta be Charlie Fawn... one album, a couple of singles - it all went nowhere. But I'll bet anyone who was lucky enough to hear these would have a difficult time disagreeing.

Doctors of Madness anyone?Totally ignored in native country England,were too glam for punks,too punk for glamsters. Tremendous musicanship,dark lou reed influenced songs and out of time attitude!A really GREAT band!!!

Off the top of my head, I'd recommend MX80 Sound's "Out of the Tunnel"....

XXX's post prompted me to pull out my copy of 'The Return of the Duritti Column' this morning. This is a gorgeous record. Early 80's electronic drum with the nice guitar over

"The Rubbeets" is a seriously obscure band. In fact, I would bet no one else around here had ever heard of them. They sound a lot like The Go-go's but the vocalist is way much prettier than Carlisle (although she wouldn't pose for playboy. She says she'

Two bands,i just remembered;Pet Clams-obscure NY band,some classic roots here and there,but the result is a spectacular piece of street folky power pop!Something between Lou Reed and Jimi Carrol with Dictators like singing.Second one,Bottles,goofy funny l

XXX, I like your taste…

I too wish I had more money to buy imported stuff by A Certain Ratio, Dif Juz, and Durutti Column. I think they're all wonderful, at least from the few bits and pieces I've heard. I actually got Durutti Column's [i]The Guitar an

Okay, okay. I must say one thing: "You peeps rule" [8D] Even if I don't know more than half the bands you're all talkin about, I just know I'd dig 'em anyway.

I assume y'all have heard and have albums by Anne Clark? "Our Darkness," behby. I wish to ent
