Status Quo - Best song, Big Fat Mama from the Piledriver Album, but the best version is this one........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pC3Cy2nVpo

British Sea Power, Sonic Youth, The Wedding Present, Wire, The Membranes, are wonderful bands.

Look that's not enya wrote:

The Wedding Present

Totally with you on that - they're an absolute joy; I don't think they've ever done anything that I haven't instantly loved.

In more modern terms - The Fleet Foxes are a band I fell in love with when I first heard them; the sound, the vocals, the lyrics - totally does it for me. I saw them live twice and can happily say that they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen - much better live than recorded in fact. Much joy to hear today therefore, that they're back from self-imposed exile, sans Father John Misty, with a new album and British tour dates upcoming for the end of 2017.

Not a mention of The Disturbed"!

Certainly put the soppy "Sound Of Silence" to rights!

Saw them at ozzfest years back (2001 if i remember correctly), awesome band

However, not a patch on the mighty METALLICA

This week I am still listening to Phish. If you have never come across them they are probably the biggest English language band that you have never heard of. My wife hates them with a passion. If you like the whole jam band scene try Moe. Possibly try Govt Mule. This is where you find the followers of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. If you are the type of person who is buying the Rainbow live releases you might appreciate the length of the tracks.

Not only have they had an ice cream named after them but they also starred in an episode of the Simpsons.

Yo La Tengo - excellent band to watch live.
Darren Hayman (former Hefner frontman) has done a load of classy lp's
