Musical Groups/Artists/Bands you like, but know one else seems to.

[The Preacher]

The Blue Aeroplanes

A Bristol-based loose collective formed in ‘81 and still going, the mainstays of which have been singer/poet/songwriter Gerard Langley and brother John (drums). In the early formative days when he was trying to get other band members to take things more seriously, a frustrated Langley famously lamented that too many Bristol musicians ‘just want to get pissed!’.

The Blue Nile

They were darlings of the muso chin strokers, from their inception in the eighties, to their last album, 14 years ago.
Yet I only know of a couple of people who've heard them.

A walk across the rooftops is an absolute masterpiece, but all of their stuff is great

Straight Outta The Grove - well that's where I saw them anyway. Manchester's finest NWOBHM legends, I give you, A II Z. Superb album

 

[MillisleBlue]

Killing Joke

 

[BimboBob]

Still love a bit of B-Movie.

For some reason, I've never really "got on" with AWATR, even if Tinseltown in the Rain is brilliant.
Hats, however, is music gold. Headlights on the Parade and The Downtown Lights just ooze class.

Beautiful music

Brummie accents and singing don’t really work well but I like the music

Great stuff. The track’s originally from their album ‘Jacket Hangs’. Some of their early stuff was a bit experimental and ‘avant-garde arty’. Check out ‘FriendLoverPlane’.
