Bands from your youth that you have recently re-discovered?

[Pogue Mahone]

I don't understand how you can 're-discover' bands from your past... you either still like them or never liked them in the first place? Personal opinion of course, but I did have a flash of someone saying the Only Ones, may sometimes forget such bands genius, but it ain't 're-discovering'.

Well, it depends what you mean by re-discover.

The Only Ones was me...I hadn't listened to, or thought about them for probably more than ten years. Going through my cd collection I came across them, and remembered how much I'd loved them in the past. So, despite always loving their music when I listen to it, it took me to physically find their music to remind myself of this fact. I'd say that this is re-discovering them.

It happens quite often with me - I forget bands then, and I can't think of s better word for it, I re-discover them.

This is making me think, and I've just remembered The Saints. I'm off to re-discover them.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

My fallback band is usually The Inspiral Carpets, great stuff.

good call.

Mine is Long Tall Texans

 

[hans kraay fan club]

The Wonder Stuff Tickets, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London

This should interest a few in this thread - pre Xmas London concerts, featuring The Wonderstuff, PWEI and Jesus Jones...

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I listened to Travelogue by The Human League the other day and had forgotten what a great album it is.

 

[GT49er]

Seriously, The Rolling Stones, hated them in my youth, without really listening to them, probably because I was into soul, jazz funk, lovers rock and ska. But I now realise what a great band they were.

Crap live, though (circa '71 or '72)

 

[GT49er]

Blodwyn Pig - yes, remember them - saw them live; not bad - wouldn't mind another listen. Would like to find early Caravan tracks too...................and Keef Hartley Band, and Jon Hiseman's Coliseum (all pretty elusive on YouTube)

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Some music never goes away...... marillion and fish has always been first choice on my pod.

But recently downloaded ACDC Back in Black and ELO discography + Midnight Oils 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden sometimes soon methinks.

 

[Dawn Korus]

Shed Seven, Selecter and Cast

 

[Silk]

Can't stand the Rezillos.

Gong
Yes
Caravan
King Crimson

I'm listening to nothing much but King Crimson, for the past year! Particularly the 1972-74 version with David Cross on violin. Great stuff.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Listening to non stop ramones stuff at the moment not really rediscovered just playing it more and more!

 

[BadFish]

bed by 5.30 never ceases to amaze me what a great album that is and it never got the recognition it deserved.

 

[StillHateBellotti]

Ocean Colour Scene, Shed 7, Cast, Embrace. Now going to have 20 minutes on work for a you tube moment. Shed 7 chasing rainbows.............

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Didn't really have enough money "in my 60s youth" to buy many records but have recently been catching up on the Move, Procul Harem and the Stones (having been a Beatles fan all my life). Recently bought the Stones "Singles Collection - the London Years" that has 56 tracks of great music.

 

[El Presidente]

I saw The Fields of The Nephilim last night, marvellous scenes.

 

[brighton terra]

3 bands from the great 4AD record label

Colourbox
This Mortal Coil
The Cocteau Twins

 

[boik]

Can and Neu! - was listening to "Reign" by UNKLE and it reminded me of something, and eventually that something turned out to be Hallogallo by Neu! Forgotten just how good those two bands were. Much better than Kraftwerk in my humble opinion.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Last week I went a bit "Madchester" and bought both The Mock Turtles albums, "Sundew" by Paris Angels and Stone Roses second album. "Sundew" is a particular favourite.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Listening to non stop ramones stuff at the moment not really rediscovered just playing it more and more!

tell me a track that don't sound different

 

[Kumquat]

Now this is my kind of thread. Recently been rediscovering the industrial and ambient seam i ploughed in the early 90s. Meat Beat Manifesto, Sheep on Drugs, The Grid and Bandulu to name a few. I would highly recommend the album 99% by Meat Beat Manifesto to the uninitiated. The track Psyche Out is phenomenal and well ahead of its time.

 

[The Modfather]

bed by 5.30 never ceases to amaze me what a great album that is and it never got the recognition it deserved.

Good call. One of those bands that never got the success they deserved
