muldoon74 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I was born int he 70's, grew up in the 80's, found my feet in the 90's and lost the noughties trough drink and shit jobs... I was youtubing tonight while wife caught up with some sky+ crap (we've been away for a few days) and came across a *** brilliant band.. |Started off listening to a bit of Poison, Quiet Riot, Great White etc... Came across a band called "Precious Metal".. never heard of them back in the day.. Absolutely *** loving them now! All female band kicking the ass of the likes of bon jovi and bryan adams fora start.. real good 80's metal. Give them a listem.. awesome stuff so far! Has anyone else stumbled upon a wee gem of a band, singer etc? Another to ad to my list is Brandi Carlile... Beautiful, awesome musician and top class voice..

Tazio Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 One of my favourite bands is The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I'd never heard of them but saw a CD in a shop in the early nineties and as I was listening to a lot of blues at the time bought it due to their name and the fact they looked pretty cool on the cover. Got home and played it. Jesus Christ it was good, not "real" blues though. The best way to describe it was someone trying to force a New York punk band to make a Blues album. 25 years later they remain a favourite and one of the best live bands on the planet.

North Berwick Jambo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I once downloaded an album by accident, it was by a band called syntax and it was called Meccano Minds & I was blown away just how good it was! I recognised one of the songs as the official song from the game "Driver" and after a bit of research online I discovered the band broke up soon after it was released which is a shame when you hear how good each track was.

Unknown user Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I went into john menzies in Dalkeith with one of my first wages, determined to buy something I didn't know from the bargain cd basket The gods looked down with great benevolence and sent me home with Something Else by The Kinks - utterly blew my mind, and to this day they're still my favorite band. Just the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzroy Pointon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I was in Sainsburys years ago and bought a Northern Soul compilation for ?3. Couldn't believe it when I listened to it. Now I spend hours on YouTube discovering new (to me anyway) tracks. Totally changed my taste in music.

crunchy frog Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The missus youtubed me a band called Southern Culture on the Skids the other week. Can't believe I've missed them before. Similar to The Supersuckers. Ace. The female bass player's stage name is Mary Huff which amused me no end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoltan socrates Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Discovered mitch murder on youtube, fantastic foray into the world of 80s synthepop Apparently been about since 2010 ish, discovered a fortnight ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've got tons of random stuff because I spent ages when I was younger going through YouTube and going to hundreds of gigs. Metalhammer helped massively as well. I suppose I could discount bands like Alestorm since they weren't random being Scottish and actually meeting them. My 2 favourite random discoveries would be Hardcore Superstar and Korpiklaani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
