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

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.

"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
