Beverley Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 surprised you've not mentioned this shower yet seriously though i thought these were terrific songs, both from bands who never really lived up to their original promise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPQwCrJ7LmE and another 80s classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My personal favourites would be the Beta Band Sadly no longer together, although the Aliens have sorted have carried on the torch, in producing genre crossing alternative indie music.

The Doctor Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 My first thought was for Primal Scream, but I'd probably go for The Jesus and Mary Chain, big influence on me in my late teens. No mention for The View from the kids who don't remember The Average White Band or the glut of top Scottish talent from the late 80's? No I've changed my mind...
