Most Underrated Bands Of All Time.

[COYBL25]

Shack

Drugs got in the way.

XTC at the union bar at Manchester Uni in 79 was my first gig. A brilliant band who never really got the recognition they deserved.

 

[Nymzee]

The Mars Volta
Bloc Party

 

[Charro]

Nothing but thieves are a great band at the moment that don't seem to have the credit they deserve.

Their earlier proggy stuff was pretty interesting but their soft rock pomp leaves me cold.

The really early Simple Minds was almost electro punk.

They changed direction with the release of Sons and Fascination in the early 80`s, followed by the sublime - New Gold Dream and the pomp rock of Sparkle in the Rain.

Sadly it all went downhill after that.

This song you hear both Drake and Lennon's influence. I mean who else has ever written a song about struggling with addiction, specifically heroin addiction in this case, and made it sounds so beautiful in such a stark, haunting way.

David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes.

You`re welcome.

Not even the same sport even if the same topic.

Lou Reed.
Mark Linkous
Nick Cave

Off the top of my head.

Please share examples.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Please share examples.

Lou Reed you could have either Heroin or the ubiquitous but still great Perfect Day
Linkous: You'd have Sad and Beautiful World or Sunshine (both released as Sparklehorse)
Cave: You can probably take your pick off The Boatman's Call

 

[JAYMULL]

The Pies

Are they from Wigan?

 

[JAYMULL]

Talk Talk. Sheers class.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Talk Talk. Sheers class.

The Colour of Spring is a work of art

Are they stark and haunting arrangements sounding a bit like Nick Drake and John Lennon had a baby? Soz @COYBL25 that Bowie song wasn't my cuppa.

In fact it might be sinful but I might have to rate him on the other thread. Can't think of a song I like.
