Back in the day eh?
How long ago was that? P.Tree are a pretty big band now, and have been smart about how they sell their material and merchandise. No mega-lable ripping them off, selling through their website etc.

Eh?

 

[NMH]

Eh?

You quoted my post so I responded. Are we talking about the same band?
i.e. Porcupine Tree?

Edit; no I think you meant Japan were tight mofos, I just went back and looked at the quotes and saw how that got interpreted.

 

[daveinprague]

Yeah, I was talking about Japan

Good band live, I saw them at The Electric in Camden in 1980 or 81.
Shriekback were exceptional - spawned from XTC, and when I saw them they had Lu Edmonds on guitar - now with PIL again. Brilliant gig, one of the best I ever attended.

Wow Shriekback. Still play "My spine is the bassline" at every party we have. Classic!

You can only answer this if you are an 80's teen.

What was the best 80's band?

For me: Depeche Mode (Big Time) and I still kind of like The Thompson Twins.

What was the Worst?

Tend to agree, saw them live a few times and they were the business. Mark unpronounceable on drums was one of the best I have seen live.
