[Theatre of Trees]

Do you think he ever found out who stole his bongos?

 

[The Large One]

The Higsons (well we all know what happened to Charlie)

One to collect for all the 2-Tone completists.

Good call for Propaganda, Mr Trees. I have the Duel on 12" and 7". Angus Deayton took the piss out of them in a book called the Uncyclopedia of Rock & Roll, referring to them as SPRUNT.

Can we also not forget The Frank & Walters, please?

XTC released an absolutely CLASSIC psychedelic album in 1987 under the name of the Dukes of Stratosfear. Check out the lead song called '25 O'Clock'. Absolutely superb for those who appreciate the genre.

Ermm if they were forgotten how come we have remembered them?

Clearly you have forgotten that this question was asked on the first page. Therefore,

The Rah Band

Coincidently, I was playing "The Crunch" by the Rah Band on the way over here this morning. There was also the rather freaky "Clouds Across The Moon" which I came across last month.

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

Page 4 already and no mention of The Ramones!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Ramones have been rightly remembered, this thread is all about those bands that briefly made it then disappeared from view.

 

[dougdeep]

My favourite live band of the 70's were "Man" Did anyone else see the Welsh rockers at the Dome?
