[Thimble Keegan]

The Longpigs.

That is a top shout.

Albion & England forever.

Thimble Keegan
Worthing BHA

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Always thought Death In Vegas should have had more success than they have had.

 

[Withnail]

Blind Melon or Primus.

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Blind Melon or Primus.

When I saw Guns 'n' Roses at Milton Keynes the line up was Blind Melon (who I thought were awful, imo), Soul Asylum fantastic, The Cult who were very poor and GNR who were great. Don't know why just didn't take to Blind Melon (was Axl Roses, brothers group)

 

[The Large One]

The Popguns.

 

[dougdeep]

A Band called O.
Spooky Tooth.
Nazareth.
Man.
String Driven Thing.
Van De Graff Generator.
Stone the Crows.
Vinegar Joe.
Osibisa.
Elephants Memory...............................................

Thought Blind Melon were a great band and Soup still gets a regular play. Saw GNR at Wembley with Nine Inch Nails and Skid Row. In a bizarre twist of fate NIN were crap and went down like a lead balloon and Skid Row stole the show.

Ironic how NIN and GNR ended up. Velvet Revolver were really good at Live 8 my only critisism was that the front man (can't remember his name) didn't seem to have any stage presence, if that makes sense, whilst Slash was soloing the crowd were mesmerised though

 

[El Presidente]

Latin Quarter, saw them live and their first album was superb, then disappeared off the radar


The Red Guitars

 

[simon swagbag]

Passion Fruit & Holy Bread.

Two superb e.p's, then Oasis brought out Supersonic & everyone looked the other way.

 

[Raphael Meade]

The Red Guitars

BLOODY good shout!

singer lives in brighton innit.

 

[El Presidente]

Good Technology is one of the best songs of the 80's

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

Joy Division...if Ian Curtis didn't

Also Leftfield, Cake, Jeff Buckley (read bove), Kula Shaker, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins & The Tea Party

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

Ok, I know they are big-ish and I know they are still around but I reckon The Coral.

I really think they should be HUGE and are one of the most under-rated bands of all time.

 

[DJ Leon]

The Longpigs.

Nooooooooooo! They were f***ing awful. I absolutely hated them and when I found out that the lead singer had shagged my ex-girlfriend I fermented that hatred into the kind of loathing I normally reserve for genocidal dictators.

Seriously though, they were shite. Chris Evans liked them too.

 

[DJ Leon]

That Petrol Emotion.

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

Oh yeah and 'Easyworld' they released a great album and I haven't heard anything of them since.

 

[Raphael Meade]

symposium.

on the brink of mega-stardom when they split up...

 

[GNF on Tour]

The Longpigs were class and I would agree with Latin Quarter. However, the best band ever ever ever were/are the:

House of Love.

House of Love rumoured to be getting back together.

Beatles and The Stones, House of Love, Christine were classics, but sadly the boy Chadwick let the praise go straight up his nostrils.

The Sisters of Mercy
