But I wasn't, I was mentioning a band I liked. I just wanted to make it clear I didn't like the others.

 

[twistedAM]

mmm...two votes for Counting Crows - probably wouldn't get into my top 30 BUT in Mr Jones, Omaha and Round Here I can't think of a better trio of songs which opened a debut album

one of the best choices I made live-wise in recent years was to leave John Prine at the Fleadh and watch them

i'm off to play those 3 tracks now

ps don't mean to derail the thread in any way but it was interesting to see their name crop up

Ah ok.
Just get a bit fed up that every time i mention Big Country there is always someone to say something derogatory about them. Cant help it if i like them.
As for The The, you not like Mind Bomb or Dusk, ok Naked Self wasnt that great but the other 2.

I saw them support David Bowie once - and they were much better than he was.

Big Country were OK, but the Skids were better. IMO.

I personally gave up on The The after 'Infected', probably because I had started having sex and so didn't need Matt Johnson (or Morrisey etc) in my life anymore.

I got into Ministry instead.

 

[felixthecat]

in no particular order:

the Clash
Velvet Underground
The Pixies
The Wailing Souls
