were underrated in your opinion.
I remember seeing The Motors live in the late 70s and when I saw there videos on youtube it brought back some very fond memories:
Everybody will remember their hit single Airport

And who can forget their legendary appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test performing Dancing The Night Away

Years ago I saw The Beatstalkers live and at the time wondered why they didn't make it big.
Your thread made me look them up on youtube and I got my answer, they were chyte.  |

Loads probably
60ft Dolls - like Oasis, but really good Bomb Disneyland - Deeside thrash/hardcore band at the height of the period. Should have been huge, or at least medium. Brakes - Debut album got Rough Trade's LP of the year. Ridiculously good. Think a British Pixies. Just pooted along and then gave up. Cathy Davey - another one who's debut LP was sensational. Now stays at home minding the farm while Neil Hannon goes out getting paid for arching his eyebrows. Cotton Mather - their Kontiki album is one of those almost flawless albums. Ridiculously strong song writing. Death Angel - another thrash band from back in the day. Act III remains the greatest thrash album of all time in my opinion. Never reached the heights of less talented peers. dEUS - Their 1999 album The Ideal Crash is - imo - the single greatest LP of all time. Heroes back in Belgium but have enough talent, style and imagination that they should be international stars. Future of the Left - like a re-incarnated Nirvana. Falco is one of the best lyricists around. |

"You've got a smiling face' Brilliant keyboard player in the video. Standing up and for four minutes hardly looked down at the keyboards once. |

Great band but 'Forget About You' does sound uncannily like the Grandstand theme tune.

One for the oldies - Savoy Brown (Blues Band)
Dome in Brighton (1970?) warm up act for Jethro Tull - they couldn't get them off the stage to get Tull on Mac - we should do a fred on bands we saw live 40 years apart - saw Curved Air a few weeks ago, 40 odd years on - they're still not very good  |

Cecil - Supported Skunk Anansie and headined a few gigs in and around their native Liverpool back in the late 90's. Try and get a hold of 'No Excuses and 'Fishes', the latter boasting the immortal line 'I've been unwillingly screwing rabbits'
Also Flowered Up, Diamond Head, New Model Army and Callow Saints |
