Might as well stay away from footie for the time being,so for some light relief,how about some musical greats that many people may never have heard of/forgotton about.
1.The Blue Nile....Scottish band who only ever released 3 albums,one of my favourite bands of the 80`s who at the time rarely got played on the radio,but for me should have been huge.
Have a listen to the album "Hats",what a singer.
2.The Sundays....imagine if when the Smiths broke up,Johnny Marr formed a pop band with a brilliant female singer,this is pretty much The Sundays.
Again,only ever released 3 albums,but perfect Jangly Pop all of them,with Harriet Wheeler`s sublime vocals.
3.Porcupine Tree....if you`re into rock music,of pretty much any type then PT are the band for you.
Have been making albums since the 90`s,their music covers most genres,Metal,Prog,Jazz Rock,Pop Rock,Hard Rock,fronted by the genius that is Steven Wilson.
Have a listen to the albums Signify or Fear Of A Blank Planet for starters,you`ll be glad you did.
Ok...over to you,what have I been missing ?
