Criminally overlooked


Any more?

 

[KZNSeagull]

The Chameleons

 

[Pevenseagull]

And they did a cover of a Mazzy Star song

[Pevenseagull]

The Chameleons

Hell yeah. Magnificent call

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

The Rubettes

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Triffids

 

[Pevenseagull]

Reason for choosing Pale Saints ...... Ride, Slowdive and Lush and MBV have all been subject to massively successful returns
And apart from MBV they were not as good
And never will be

Tony Wilson's favourite Band on the Factory Roster, probably wouldn't have got a record deal with anyone else due to Vini Reilly's somewhat eccentric approach to making music.

Sadly unlikely to play again, has had a stroke & looks like death warmed up, a lifetime of drug use has caught up with him.

 

[darkwolf666]

The Chameleons

You beat me to it...

 

[maffew]

The ****ing Zutons

Whilst I am of course very sorry to hear this ... When he played at the Komedia a few years ago the first 1/2hour or so of new material written with his new girlfriend was ****ing terrible so much so that I can't be arsed to punctuate this sentence or indeed paragraph fortunately a drummer turned up at it was all OK into he final alanysis.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Adverts.

And in second place The Mekons.

Still on my all time list. Great band.

 

[Bob'n'weave]

This lot do it for me. Don't seem to get a lot of air play though.

My new theme tune by the way. I want it played when I go in for meetings etc.

 

[Pevenseagull]

And in second place The Mekons.

The Mekons are not underated at Pevenseagull towers, they are fully appreciated

[El Presidente]

The Chameleons

This squared, followed by Talk Talk and The Damned.

Mark Burgess’s autobiography is the most underrated musical memoir too.

Excellent to hear






Little known Mekon fact: NSC's very own HB&B was the model posing for the debut album cover...

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Retreat From Memphis record has a side that is supposed to be played at 45 ..... I didn't know this .... I spent a decade or more thinking they'd done shit loads of heroin and tried to sound like my bloody valentine.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

If by underrated you mean criminally overlooked then Mclusky/Future Of The Left are one such band.
