You have immaculate tase and impeccable decorum. I remember when Mick was trying to get help to pay for his medication. Very sad :down:

Wow. Thanks for that :thumbsup: They were played a lot on CITR, the university radio station in Vancouver, 83-86 when i was there doing my PhD. I absolutely loved them immediately. But they were not at all popular. I would never have called them Goth. One album was produced by Connie Planc...

They don't fit my criteria as I always thought they were great. But they didn't sell. Shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmfd2x1k80U

I was in Canada when they hit pay dirt and all I got was the dirty videos on a late night on Friday so I can't comment on their finer motives. :lolol:

Just discovered this. Fits all the criteria. Cracking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tJ_eddKzqA

Sorry but just have to post some more Paralysed Age. When you have stopped laughing, and confessing that anyone admitting to liking this would have been slapped around in the school playground until they begged for mercy back in the day (actually, on any day), I dare to you say this isn't the...

Snob. :lolol: :bowdown: (very true regarding imitation and inspiration to others)

Indeed. Check out the Belouis Some 'Imagination' (long version) video too, for some 80s tastic artistry :blush:

This lot would have been laughed out of town. Right now this is completely up my street. English sung by a non English speaker? Jangly guitar? Melody? Extreme earnestness? Mts Tackle shaking her head sadly, but with an indulgent smile? I'm IN!!! :lolol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haf0G11749M

Got to repost a track by these lovely boys. I am not sure why they dissapeared down the plug hole, but there it is. I would have laughed out loud at the vocals in 1987 - Kirk Brandon crossed with Ian Astbury - ha ha (wanker) etc. Now I think - brilliant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFR6IefzZGk

Nah. This is 110% pure gold. Channel your inner **** and all will be revealed :lolol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQTTA9raJU

Sorry studio150, these are sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_6Kr5e2dYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8jx1vNu1as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0aDOEvldMk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xmrv5T_HgQ That said, I have always been a fan....especially after I saw the series of smutty...

This would have had me running for the hills back in the day, and it was easy for me to dismiss them as right wing wankers. Pomp rock. Don't watch the vid as they do look a ****ing sight. The track though is bloody brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auLBLk4ibAk

Here is a band who had a few minutes of positive reviews in the late 80s then slowly disintegrated over the next 5 years. I had never heard of them till recently. I bought all their stuff and it all stands up. R.I.P Craig :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC4M_DUx4to

Fot those complaining I post stuff nobody has heard of....For a music snob like me I would have dismissed this as cheesy pop shite back in the day. Bloody love it now. Had the pleasure of seeing them in London 10 years ago (feels like yesterday). The singer is a very camp and sweary scouser...

:lolol: I find out of control auteurs a bit disturbing, to be honest. I thought the guy was struggling and my 15 year old self backed off..... Then I heard Peter Hammill and all bets on nutters were off :lolol: Saw him do this actually live ten or so years ago (May have mentioned this on...

:lolol: "I know an awful lot about music, but I don't know how to describe what I like" :rolleyes::cheers:

Agree with all that except MBV (I still find them messy and muddled) and Cocteau Twins (their early stuff is all exceptional, but they got a bit meh later on). Not sure that either were particularly successful, or even particularly well regarded (I appreciate somke people, like Mrs T, think MVB...

Yes, you're right about TP's time at NME, but Wiki states 'he wrote the first NME cover story about.....Bruce Springsteen'. My recollection was, I'd never heard of Springsteen till I read that article. And I was an avid muso. You are right that BS was a 'critics favourite' before then (this...

Hmmmm.....they were another group who were never dismissed at the time....and their sudden rise at Creation records meant the end of the brilliant Adorable Another group who got squeezed due to the company focusing on a 'better prospect' was Readbeat, who lost out to Killing Joke. Redbeat were...
