Monkeys still get airplay for a couple of popular tunes, not bad for a fake band.

Talk Talk.

Initially written off as being Duran Duran wannabes but evolved into a majestic band who did their own thing by the time they released Spirit of Eden were a world apart.

Dismissed as...well just a lot of old fashioned shitey bollocks (the radio 1 single releases programme 1986), one of the most enduring and surprising bands of . . . .ever.

This is an absolutely majestic track. How many of us are living inside a termite mound?

You could say Beastie Boys. Whilst they were not particularly unoriginal or shite the band were dismissed in my corners as a fratty cartoon band at the start. They later became very respected musicians/artists. Talk Talk is an excellent call though.
