Also saw the Cult a lot, and that was a similar experience. Mike Peters and Billy Duffy were then in Coloursound, who I thought were decent.

I like Lloyd Cole both coommotioned up and solo.
Saw The Alarm before they were The Alarm under the guise of mod band The Weekend. The following weekend a mod band named The Graduates played the same venue (now the Stadium Of Light metro station) and they became Tears For Fears. Both rubbish by the way.

Wolfgang Press and Clinic.
The latter started off PIL-Metal-Box-alikes but soon sorted themselves out and saw them supporting and being supported by most of the 1980's 4AD label mates.
Clinic - have declined a bit after their first three brilliant LP's.

I was listening to New York Tendaberry this morning and realised how much Laura Nyro's music has woven its way through my life. Her voice, at times just a half note from being harsh or off key, has fascinated me forever. Her music and lyrics with their echoes of Gershwin and Goffin/King were an evocation of New York (mostly) that somehow covered the twenties through the seventies. On stage I found her hypnotic, a large but slightly nervous presence in her floor length black velvet dress and single red rose. Like her voice, in person, she was devastatingly beautiful but also slightly awkward on the verge of clumsy. Janis Ian, who was at school with her, says she was nicknamed Morticia Addams. An immensely talented eccentric loner she always stood out.
Here's her live version of Poverty Train at Monterey. It didn't go down particularly well, she was just 18 but didn't really fit in with "the Love Crowd" as Otis aptly put it. What did they know, both the song, singer and writer were profoundly gorgeous.

- Bath City FC; Porthcawl RFC;Wales in most things.
- Fig roll - deal with it.
I keep forgetting to add my ones -
Fun Loving Criminals (well, the first album, bits of the second anyway and I enjoy them live)
Groove Armada (only as I have never seen any love for them on here)
Also, is there a contingent for early to mid-era Madonna?
This thread also reminds me of Jah Womble's remark when I stated that Groop Dogdrill's second album is one of my favourites that it probably wasn't even there favourite album.

As for Groove Armada - I loved Vertigo and still do. Will happily soundtrack a commute with that.
Anyway. Any love for (and I know WOM loves his singer-songwriters) Brendan Benson or Elliot Smith? Lapalco and Figure 8 respectively are among my favourite albums.
