I like some Siouxsie. The side project The Creatures is even better. Stuff by both groups should be easy to come by as well. Budgie does good things with percussion.

Tony,
I could see you in your eco-house, cooking some health food for the kids, rocking Fugazi top volume. I think you and they have much in common.


Check your PM. I got you some other stuff. . . But here's a list of groups I think you might like, with a key comparing them to groups you're likely more familiar with:

• Breeders (Birtha - breaks and all)
• Echo & The Bunnymen (If the Mizzell brothers arranged for Elton John with a drum machine)
• PJ Harvey (English Lotti Golden)
• Sigur Ros (Linda Perhacs meets Bo Hansson)--other, less popular acts--
• Black Heart Procession (Pink Mooning Nick Drake, with spooky orchestration)
• Slint (McNeal & Niles; think Kentucky not Ohio)
• Judith & Holofernes (Woody Guthrie)
• Breathless (homosexual Paul Simon)
• Shannon Wright (you decide)
• My Dad is Dead (Interpol)
• Downer Trio (Van Morrison)
• Drive Like Jehu (Allman Brothers at their noisiest)
• Gang of Four (Gentle Giant)
• Grandaddy (Neil Young)

I celebrate Curve's catalog.

i recently copped "connection" by elastica on wax, i was happy...

DocMcCoy

Stone Roses

"Begging You" from "The Second Coming" is

Fatback

James "Laid".

Seen people get flat out retarded over this song. I have the LP. Never really got into it though--even though I ride for Eno productions.

LOL at DLJ Allman Bros. reference.

karlophone

unfuckwithable, my fave 'modern rock' album by far. one of the best 5 albums of the 90's IMO.

Mjukis

A song that ALWAYS does it for me: "Break up your band" by Chavez. The video is hilarity, check for it on Youtube.

The_Hook_Up

Rollerskate Skinny "Shoulder Voices" the most underrated LP of the decade, next level pop music (This is Jimi Shields' band, brother of Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine...and speaking of MBV...)

I would stick with the original releases by My Bloody Valentine, I hate the remixes...I mean I never understood the reasoning behind listening to a song remixed by someone who isnt even remotely as talented and creative as the creator of the original song, but thats just me....

Mercury Rev "Youself is Steam" and "Boces" are genius..but after David Baker was kicked out they turned to crap

Spiritualized...everything through the Live LP (after that it is downhill)

Pre-Creation Telescopes...the LP "Taste" and the EPs(to kill a slow girl walking and 7# Disaster) are awesome, then they signed to Creation and got wimpy...

not club fodder and kinda tough to turn up but Light Bright Highway's LP is phenomenal, think Ash-Ra Tempel if they came from Denton, TX rather than Germany...

Oblivians play 9 songs with Mr. Quintron...the Oblivians best stuff, raw assed garage rock with 60s black gospel moves (for my money better than all the other "celebrated" neo-garage records of the 90s)

[*]Drive Like Jehu (Allman Brothers at their noisiest)

YES to these three.

And The Chrome Cranks, too. This 7 is a favourite - Some Kind of Crime is fire.(sorry for the teeny weeny picture)




There's been some talk of The Gories on the board lately and with reason, you should check them too for that fine Detroit soul garage sound.

THANK YOU for saving this otherwise very depressing thread! Chrome Cranks were one of my favorite bands of the 90s - a perfect cocktail of dirty bluesy garage insanity... with great songs to boot. In fact it was their singer Peter Aaron who introduced me to the Vampyros Lesbos club in NYC around 1997-1998. It was then that I met the main Vampyros DJ, DJ Franc O. - now better known to strutters as our man in Conakry: Frank!

I actually talked to Peter last month and he's doing well... despite a harrowing car accident earlier this year:
