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.

Placebo

Metallica
Blind Melon
Skunk Anansi
Divine Comedy

Definitely showing my age here!

I remember the advert all over tv when the best of Crowded House came out - you know more Crowded House songs than you think you do. Was a bit odd of them to say our songs aren't memorable enough for you to know who we are, but it was true.

Gerry Rafferty. Night Owl in particular. What a tune.

Lucinda Williams, what a woman.

Many years ago I was in San Francisco and came across a band doing on outdoor show.

Recognised the song.

The band was "They might be giants", playing "Birdhouse in your soul"

Simple minds

Deacon Blue. I just heard 'Dignity' on the radio. Sheer perfection.

Sade is great. I love 'Smooth Operator'.

Duran Duran
Talking Heads
Lightening Seeds

Meat is murder 🤣
I'm actually not a vegetarian though

Yy to The Police. Love and Money and Thin Lizzy are ones I've revisited here. Eagles too - but a specific greatest hits album from childhood. I also really love the Brownstone version of I Can't Tell You Why because it's the one I knew as a kid from a compilation tape, Huge Hits 96 maybe. I stand by it, I don't care 😁

5 Star made me laugh because they're my husband's die on a hill band, he loves them. You'd I'd never know to look at him, he fits well into the cool category. I'd never heard of them before I met him but they've definitely got something going for them.

We heard Eye in the Sky by the Alan Parsons Project recently and none of us know how we know it but that's a good one that's emerged from the depths recently.

Love Right Down The Line too! I have Michael Macdonald phases semi regularly. These are all things from childhood. What's really fun is I have a kid brother whose parental influences cross over with mine but are a bit different because of the age gap so we regularly introduce each othet to parent music the other missed out on - me because I was off being in my 20s and him because he didn't exist yet.

Has anyone listened to Kula Shaker lately? I have a feeling some of theirs were belters.

Dam Yankees, some great tunes, never got the chance to see them or Ted Nugent...

On a completely different track, early Bee Gees, Fanny Be tender is going round and round, such great harmonies.

Loved Skid Row, Sebastian had a great voice.
