Too many to name but favourites possibly Pantera, old Metallica and Megadeath. But also listen to Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Stone Roses and Bob Marley. Many others.

I have a few favs - London Calling, The Call up, Bank Robber. Still can't fathom the fact Joe Strummer died of a heart attack at 50. Dying's meant to be for old peopleKOJOE90 wrote:Rudi can't fail is my favourite Clash track.bollox wrote:Get some of The Clash into ya

Most of that stuff is alt-country or folk-tinged acoustic stuff.Riddick Blowe wrote:Nor I!jamesmcdonnell wrote:i can honestly say I haven't heard of a single one of those bands.Hellephant wrote:16 Horsepower, 22 Pistepirkko, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Calexico, Cat Power, Dipper, Johnny Dowd, Holly Golightly, The Handsome Family, David McComb, Smog, Terrell, Tindersticks, Laura Veirs and Jim White
I've got albums by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (also known as Will Oldham) Cat Power and Jim White.

Stujones has the most eclectic tastes so far...
My favorite all-time bands are probably The Kinks and DEVO
but I also like...
country: Hank Williams, Sr., Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard
rap: Ice T, Run DMC, Geto Boys, Public Enemy
surf/garage: The Sonics, Dick Dale, Link Wray, Man Or Astro-Man, Jack O Fire
punk: Misfits, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Angry Samoans, Fear
metal: Motorhead, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath (only with Ozzy), Iron Maiden.
The two bands I'm embarassed to admit that I like are ABBA and Sweet.
I'm surprised - this being the British Forum - that The Buzzcocks and 999 haven't been mentioned. Hardly anyone in the US is familiar with 999, but they've always been one of my favorites.

Devo - besides the catchy Crack That Whip, Beautiful World was a good one. Very synical song
Anyone know much of The Ruts?

One of the best live acts I have ever seen, absolutley awsome.El Brujo wrote:Man Or Astro-Man
The support act was an episode of the Twiglight Zone shown on a big screen.

Yeah, I got to see them live at Emo's in Austin, TX - and it was a helluva show. They were wearing "helmets" made out of gutted TV's and for their encore, they brought out a Tesla coil onstage.KOJOE90 wrote:One of the best live acts I have ever seen, absolutley awsome.El Brujo wrote:Man Or Astro-Man

A few years ago, they toured the US with their "Clone Project" (for those of you who don't know, Man Or Astro-Man claim to be be holographic images beamed from outer space) - it was three different Man Or Astro-Man bands, so the band could be in three cities at once - one of them was all-girl incarnation...

Prompted by this discussion, I revisited my old Uncle Tupelo albums ( if you have the Rough Guide to Rock, I wrote their entry in it )
Still spot on and so much better than anything Wilco or Son Volt came up with
Also, today
MC5
Golden Smog
Big Star
and, John Cale's Music For A New Society ( by far the most talented member of VU )
