The Walkmen
Thought of another I wish would release more stuff: Circlesquare (sorry squares, not 80s or 90s!)
Geezer went off to do some painting or something, but did some singing on a Mugwump album this year, so maybe, just maybe...
Propellerheads
KLF

Meh, laziest bong-jockies whose gig I have ever been to!
Saw them in Truro about 12 years ago or something, played about 45 minute set and pushed-off with the whole crowd yelling for more. No encore, no interaction, nothin'.
I admit I was also suffering from having a full grown man land on my head while being thrown forward/crowd surfing. No-one was holding their hands up, and he landed directly on my bonce, ass first. Took a week before i could use my neck!
😆 sounds awesome!
We can laugh about it now.
I admit they SOUNDED pretty good, and they also provided the soundtrack to an interesting experience I had in a field in Exeter when the sky split in two and rays of pure condensed energy filled the heavens.
Then I stuck my face in the grass and became one with gaia.
Anyway, I have trouble forgetting them, myself 😆
used to go and watch the Band of Holy Joy at the Leeds Catholic Club back in the eighties
Another +1 for the Music, excellent band especially in the early days.
Queen Adreena.
Jane's Addiction. The biggest and best band on the planet for about a fortnight in 1990 just before they imploded spectacularly.
Reformed since and still touring, but perhaps best remembered for the old stuff..
I can't believe (actually, I can) that no-one's mentioned the mighty, MIGHTY Cardiacs:
And I'm going to give an honourable mention to the mighty Sugar:
Can I add a few........
Doves
Garbage
Death in vegas
Senseless things
Were Super fury animals out in the 90's?
EMF
KLF
Rocket from the crypt
Living colour
Queensrhyche
What a great thread.(deacon blue excepted).
pwei,buffalo tom,mega city four,adorable,wildhearts&golden palaminos+100.
I saw Eat a few times,very very good live band .shame about the substance abuse.
One time they supported the stuffies,miles and bass thing had a fight onstage.
That petrol emotion -one of the best gigs I have ever seen @Newcastle riverside .
My nominations, screaming trees,Sabres of paradise,the aloof ,apparat.
And ride and chapter house ......I'll be up all night thinking of others.:-)
Ride just reformed.
Not sure why I mention that coz I absolutely hated Ride.
The wettest vocals since early Primal Scream.
Sugar (in fact anything that Bob Mould has had a hand in gets a thumbs up from me)
Tilted was a wall of sound
for me, there was no band greater than Fugazi
I went to see ride in May ..brilliant .andy bell wasted soooooo many years with oasis..
I see the vocals as delicate ,like Neil young 🙂
Can I have My bloody valentine as well?
Living Colour! Hell yes!
Vernon Reid was a bloody genius. Cleverly mixing jazz, rock, funk, punk and whatever else he could find. In another world, he'd have been seen as the next George Clinton or Prince, only saner. Much, much saner!
And while were at it
Mazzy Star .... Hope Sandival <3
for me, there was no band greater than Fugazi
Have you seen 'Fugazi: Instrument'?

Some of you lot really can't be missing these bands too much! Do your research and you'll find that Swervedriver, Mazzy Star Etc are still going...
To be fair they had broke up at one point or other and have reformed.
Placebo still around?
Rocket from the Crypt.

Hmm, that sounds like a theme for a different thread to me...
