This isn't going to help my credibility but I really enjoyed streaming "Into the Gap" by the Thompson Twins yesterday. A band the Mrs and I shared a mutual enjoyment of back in the day.
No thats not it. It has changed name a few times. It will probably be on their tour date this time around so will check

Radiohead!
The Jesus and Mary Chain very rarely crop up when having a Youtube music evening, something I'm going to rectify now.
I guess The Wonderstuff and esp their first album should also get a spin, as it was never off my gramophone player back in the day.

I heard the Nazareth version of My White Bicycle last week and it reminded me of the band Tomorrow for whom it didn't do very well on the 60s.

JAMC was one of my favourite gigs of last year. They were quite magnificent.

All the Shoegazing Era Bands of the 1990's seem to have drifted away into obscurity.
You never hear any radio play for Curve, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Lush, Pale Saints or the Boo Radleys, all of whom produced some stonking stuff.

Looked down a 1978 list and had 'oh yeh' moments with
The members - sound of the suburbs
Rezillos - top of the pops
X-Ray spex - identity

I haven't. Saw them in 74 at Brighton Poly, later at the Dome, Reading festival, the theatre opposite Victoria station, then 25 years later, at High Wycombe, up in Diss, in London, and more recently, twice in Canterbury. Richard the drummer ran a pub in Faversham, and sadly died a few years back. Morris the roady lives here also (man about town). Geoff Richardson and new boy (for the last 20 year) Jim Leverton lives in a Caravan (ironically) over Oare way (in the precint). Great bass player and mate of Stevie Marriott. Good lad but he can't remember anything about the 60s or 70s. Dave Sibclaire ran a music shop in Herne Bay, but has retired now. Jan Schelhaas was on keyboards again last time I saw them. Cunning Stunts. Cheers!
There is some great 'new' shoegaze. Check out The Soft Moon. Also, Section 25 are still going (the godfathers of shoegaze to dance). And I have picked up some amazing obscure tracks by Modern Eon recently. They were smashing.

Family - I was reading something the other day about Eric Clapton's earlier years, and it mentioned Blind Faith, for whom the Bass Player was Ric Grech, who had previously been with Family.
Their lead singer was Roger Chapman, who had a tremendous "gravelly" voice.
