After hearing their new (not particularly good) single, I've started listening to all my older Depeche Mode stuff. Gotta say thet their singles album 86-98 is crammed full of absolute belters. Can't believe that they're still around (and huge in America) after all these years. Not bad for a bunch of lads from Basildon.
Only really like black celebration & construction time again, hardly from my youth though
Leftfield for me
Kraftwerk, Echo & The Bunneymen and Aerosmith have had a revival in my car
The Cult and Echo & The Bunnymen on my ipod.
The Farm, Happy Mondays & Charlatans.
Pele, Mock Turtles, Senser and the Wonderstuff are amongst the ones that I've been enjoying as a result of a combination of a major CD to PC session and a head unit with a hard drive in the van. Along with the stuff I never stopped listening to like Therapy, Carter, PWEI and Ned's Atomic Dustbin it's like being in the indie disco I used to frequent in Walsall. Anyone else remember Ugly Mug Joes?....
Dug out the old Yes albums a couple of months ago after hearing the last offering... 😳 had all the "early/good" stuff until Tormato.
The Mighty Lemon Drops and Billy Bragg.
wierd video but I love the song.
Very early Human League (pre girls), still sounds pretty good. Early Depeche Mode - not so good.
Spotify is brilliant for digging up the memories.
I am old 🙁
Leftfield for me
Always good for me
Bought the new Ugly Kid Joe EP on a nostaglic whim last year, which has turned out to be 'a bit of a grower'
Listening to Blondie at the moment. She was lovely!!!
Also really liking James
Leftism by Leftfield is one of the best albums ever made
+1 for the Cult, great new album.
Also Soundgarden and weirdly Whitesnake. I just cant help it.
Altho my headphones have Godsmack playing currently.
Jesus Jones came on my phone the other day on random and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was actually glad I bought most of their albums back in the day, but sad because I could only find two of them when I went to look.
I'm very impressed at the quality being shown here. Jesus Jones, PWEI (without Clint) and the Wonderstuff are doing a gig together in December. One for the indie crowd.
Tune In radio app has a few stations which play Depeche Mode 24 hours a day..Like most of it apart from when they lost their way a bit around playing the Angel..bit to harsh for me...
My long time got everything and listen to most days is David Sylvian...
Pele, bloody hell. FOrgot about them. They were alright
The Cure
The Bunnymen
EGBTG
The Lemonheads
The The
XTC

Aren't the Wonderstuff just Miles + some people who never used to be in the Wonderstuff these days?
EDIT: Been listening to lots of Adam and the Ants recently.

Will have to check that out.. ah, memories of pogoing to that on student night at Portsmouth Pyramids!
The 'new' Bush album is really rather good.. just downloading the new Soundgarden one too..
This thread needs more style 8)
Def Leppards album Hysteria - What an awesome album. Not heard if for about 15 years until recently.
James - Best of - Although I have always listened to this album, never got bored of it
Kasabian - Kasabian - Best album in the world.
Kasabian is in my very unbiased view possibly the best debut album ever. Cue the haters.
Black Sabbath
There's plenty of Kasabian "haters" who would accept that the first couple of albums were pretty bloody good. Shame about the more recent stuff though...

It's up there in my list ,but it was also one of the first I thought about when that 'Bands that have gone downhill' thread came up the other day 🙂
Kasabian have definately gone downhill. When they were lesser known they were better but now they just appeal to the masses and i think their music suffers for it. Also they got rid of one of the music artists after their 1st album which is why no other album sounds like it.
you wont be disappointed.just downloading the new Soundgarden one too
Been listening to a fair bit of Gomez lately
Randomly started listening to the Jesus and Mary Chain again recently
Carter USM - just bought the deluxe version of '30 Something' & it still sounds great.
This thread needs more style
Me too 😀
Although would have probably gone for [url=
Loop[/url]
Van Halen.
[b]Faith no more[/b] for me...had to dig out an old VHS player to watch a 'live @ Brixton Academy' video...quality!!

Glow by Reef falls into this category for me. One of the first CDs I bought for myself, not bought anything by then before or since, on an old mp3 player I transferred the contents of to my phone and it really is a belting album that I'd almost completely forgotten about.
Hello Nasty by The Beastie boys has been on damn near every time I've got in the car since MCA passing away, after many years absence.
Thousand Yard Stare...... especially Seasonstream from the first album Hands On
Anyone remember The Darling Buds?
Still listen to all this stuff regularly. It's not like the old days. All this were fields etc...

Effin' love that album.
Rediscovered Sound Garden and Smashing Pumpkins not long ago (and saw both live). Also started listening to Bush again.
The Waterboys (first three albums) have recently been added to my in-car collection. Big music. Nice (but a bit depressing at times - Red Army Blues etc.)
Slayer
Ministry
Storm troopers of death
Black Sabbath
Arrested development
Run dmc
Public enemy
All back with a big grin.
S'funny, reading the sort of bands that people on here are 're-discovering'! Apart from the 'Baggie' crowd, the 'Stuffies, The Farm, Soup Dragons, and James, Reef, and a couple of others, who I was never really taken with, pretty much all of those listed are on my iPod, and get a regular airing, and whatever doesn't I hear on 6Music. 😀
I've recently re-discovered Gentle Giant, a band I hadn't listened to for probably twenty or more years, and what's remarkable is just how contemporary they sound, and several new bands owe an awful lot to GG for their sound, like Alt-J.
I'm also rediscovering Renaissance, who I saw a few times, and always loved Annie Haslam's voice, and their music, although the lyrics could be a bit 'flowery', because they started a Kickstarter project last year to fund a new album. It's their first in nearly a decade, which I supported, and I've just received notification about, which pleases me immensely, as the CD will be signed by the band, although, sadly, Michael Dunsford, their original guitarist, died several weeks ago, which is a real shame.
Don't think I ever stopped listening to the music of my youth tbh!
But now listening to Bagsy Me by the Wannadies because of this thread. Which isn't actually from my youth, but close enough. Soon I shall start skipping the bad songs to get to Hit, just like 1997
Recently rediscovered Squeeze. Man their back catalogue is brim full of songs with some of the most superb lyrics ever written.
Plus some of the melodies are stunning.
Blondie, another good shout. Just got tickets for their July show in Edinburgh. Hoping I can conceal my Debbie Harry crush from missus TMS.
Not forgetting Graham Parker & the Rumour. Haven't really started re-listeneing as I been a life-long fan, although some of his most recent stuff is a bit to C&W for my taste. But listen again to Howlin' Wind, Stick to Me & Squeezing Out Sparks brings back some awesome mems.
Enjoy

Have been listening to LFO's "Frequencies" a fair bit of late. Along with NoW, Forgemasters and so on, a fine time to be Northern!
