What band had you forgotten were/are really good.

[CuriousMama]

Crowded House for me. DH is cooking and put them on. Amazing voice and lyrics. I haven't heard them for ages.

The wombats and London grammar, not particularly old bands but just hadn’t listened to them for ages!

Skid Row. They're touring and we're absolutely fricking awesome

Been listening to The Waterboys again. Forgotten how good they were.

@MadMadMadamMim I saw the water boys at a festival this summer and they were great!

This is not the point at all, but it’s a music thread !!, so I’m really loving The Killers and their covers. Keep listening to Whole of the Moon and This Charming Man live.

The KLF!!

Chumbawumba. English Rebel Songs 👌

James! I saw them live at a festival a few years back and they were soooo good! Have been relistening to their greatest hits. Also Savage Garden. Much less cheesy than I remember from my teenage years.

Catatonia - as it turns out, I still know all the words in International Velvet

I'm a massive Squeeze fan

We saw Pop Will Eat Itself in the summer for the first time. I really enjoyed their set.

One to listen to - The Cranberries

Human League. Saw them
at a festival and they were amazing. I'd forgotten how many great songs they've written!

sorry, The Human League 🤣

Disturbed.

I'm currently listening to the download 23 lineup and I forgot how much I loved them

Yes! I always liked them, but other groups took my interest more when they were at their most popular. But after seeing them on one of those 80’s throwback music shows recently, I realised how good they actually are.

Yes! I listened to Version 2.0 a couple of weeks ago, I forgot how good it was.

My BIL reminded me that New Found Glory exist again recently and I spent a happy few days decorating to their older albums.

I listen to some proper weird music anyway but ones that I love to listen to now that maybe I didn’t appreciate at the time are
Ace of Base
The Shamen
Morcheeba
Sneaker Pimps
Nizlopi

and bizarrely, Simply Red

I was a huge PSB fan back in the day but they had sort of dropped off my music radar. They played Glastonbury this year and were amazing, so they're back.

DS2 has discovered Simple Minds, and that reminded me how good they were too.

Just this week I rediscovered the Lightning Seeds!

I forgot about Depeche Mode for many years before rediscovering them, awesome band.

Prefab Sprout
Paddy McAloon is a brilliant songwriter

The Boo Radleys. Ignore the awful ‘Wake Up Boo’ and the rest is brilliant.

Jesus and Mary Chain have been hitting the spot lately too

@NooNakedJacuzziness OH is a life long OMD fan, so we've seen them many times - can't believe Andy McCluskey still has the energy to do all that mad dancing at his age!! Was amazed 13 year old DD was willing to go with DH to see them in Edinburgh last year (they didn't come to NI 🙁) but she's now quite keen on them, The Human League and the Lightning Seeds!

Franz Ferdinand
Sleeper
Eternal

@Floralnomad we saw Crowded House a few weeks before Glastonbury. They were very lacklustre and I've been a life long fan. Very disappointing.
