I have a soft spot for the Beautiful South and Paul Heaton's solo stuff. In terms of my record collection they stick out like a sore thumb when compared to the hardcore punk, electronica and hip-hop that dominates. If you constructed a Venn diagram of liking then and Laibach I would be the only point of intersection.

The Housemartins and TBS were two bands that I liked a lot of their stuff but never went out and bought any of it, I have TBS greatest hits on CD somewhere but I haven't played it in years, might dig it out later.

Great programme on Channel 4 this week about Paul Heaton - From Hull to Heatongrad. Well worth an hour or so of your time if you like his stuff.
Norman Cook is good value on it too.

Unfortunately, I’ve only seen them live once, but it was at 930 in DC and it was spectacular.

I liked Chicago Transit Authority a lot, and still play it a fair amount. I even put Someday on my Christmas CD this year. I was lucky enough to see their UK debut at the Albert Hall and it was jawdropping. But after Terry Kath died they became kinda pobsy I think.

I have most of the Thousand Yard Stare back catalogue. I put Mappamundi on in the kitchen just the other day.
I suspect I’m not alone in this, but mentioning The Alarm reminded me of Big Country, who were resolutely unfashionable with the cool kids back in the day - but quite brilliant live. 17 years tomorrow since we lost Stuart Adamson, where does the time go?
My two oddball choices - Transvision Vamp and Then Jericho. Don’t listen to them now, but loved them when they were current.

I really like a lot of shoegaze music and it's really only a dogmatic and short-sighted music press of the 90s that gave it a bad name.
My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Flying Saucer Attack, all seriously influential bands in the UK and especially abroad, FSA is the US underground notably. And you'd struggle to find a more original band than Seefeel, whose work sounds fresher with every passing year, who came directly out of that lineage.
