    Artists you like that hardly anyone else on OTF does

    Primal Scream

    (There, I've said it.)

    I like Screamadelica. He’s the worst live performer I’ve ever seen but. At least monkey man Ian Brown has some indefinable charisma, Bobby g is a streak of piss in leather trews.

      Acts that everyone knows of but very few people like?

      That's a tricky one. Ver Scream could be a hard answer to beat.

      If we can stretch it to genre, I'm fond of '80s/'90s Italo and Euro disco, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

        The Wurzels.

          The Wurzels are an odd one. Nobody dislikes them but very few apart from you appreciate what a seminal musical force they were before the high cyanide content of their favoured cloudy ciders dimmed their flame.

            Terrorvision and the Levellers are the best candidates I have.

              Bauhaus.

              Also I guess I'm probably the only person on the board to have the first Paris Hilton album, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of her as an artist (it's got a handful of good tracks though).

                I remember Stars are Blind being alright. Was it definitely her singing though?

                  Before I stopped liking most things, I liked Bauhaus.

                    Stars are Blind is not one of the tracks I meant, it's terrible. The singing is pretty mediocre throughout the album so I assume it's her alright helped by technology and loud backing vocals.

                        I'd expect there to be a bit of support for Bauhaus. Not from me, but their reputation has waxed over the years.

                        Peter Murphy is in the news for seemingly having managed to be thrown out of his own concert in Sweden. I closest I've seen to that before was a lad from my school who got thrown out of Fellows Park while he was selling programmes.

                            No, never did that, although I did dye my hair black once. The problem was that I'm a pasty-faced ginger twat (much more ginger then than now), so instead of looking like Andrew Eldritch or whoever it was I wanted to look like, I looked like a pasty-faced ginger twat who'd dyed his hair black.

                              I could never understand why The Levellers were hated by so many. The music press played a part, I guess.

                                Not their no. 1 fan, but I did willingly accompany Mrs D to a Stereophonics concert. It wasn't the worst gig I've ever been to (I've seen Primal Scream three times), and they have 5 or 6 songs which I will happily sing/hum along to.

                                  Middle class crusties, tie dye, dirt and dreads I guess. (The Levellers)

                                    You looked like Bono?

                                        Actually I don't think he is. It's more that he's been dyeing what's left of his mop for so long that no none really knows what lies beneath any more.

                                          Because they nicked one song from New Model Army and curled out a whole career by flogging it to death? Patchoulioil glugging single trick ponies.

                                            Oh and I love Bauhaus, fussbudget. And Love & Rockets.

                                            My nomination would be Lloyd Cole, both sin and con Commotions.

                                              I like Bauhaus, at least their “hits.”

                                              I have no opinion of Primal Scream. I’ve barely heard them at all.

                                                Can’t see Shanice getting much love round here. I love your smile is a stone classic but.

                                                  You're all playing in the shallow end.

                                                  I like some Dire Straits and some Eagles stuff.
