That was my point - they produced a critically acclaimed album that deserved to stand alongside the Roses, Mondays et al, yet they never caught on...

Each to their own but I thought it wasn't very good, especially up against the competition.User482 said:
At the time the Inspirals debut was my favourite but over the years its definately the Roses first album which sounds every bit as good today.

sonic youth, probably the most influential alternative music band ever. without whom, no pixies, without whom no nirvana etc.
the pixies are similarly under-rated.

Before you hurl abuse at me just have a look at these two vids - one for each. In each case it is not serious rock or anything but they do Pop very very well.

Oh dear. I'm being forced to agree with a Dave...
The Paris Hilton single was indeed a classy piece of pop. Thin vocals, Pro-Tuned to within an inch and as artificial as a spam sandwich on sliced white.
But I liked it. Infinitely more honest than any number of novelty haired pillocks 'being real'. I'd rather have one Paris Hilton single than an infinite number of Arctic bleedin' Monkeys albums

Ladles and gentlemice, I give you:
THE BANGLES.
I'm listening to their comeback album, 2003's Doll Revolution, and it's fantastic. Great songs, immaculate sunny Californian girly harmonies (I'm a sucker for that, see also Voice of the Beehive) and jangly guitar. Perfect.
Can you walk like an Egyptian: I can't? might have to go out and replace that vinyl album of their's now you've said that.
Comeback you say. I presume that means they split up. Well up on the music scene me.

No-one tell him that the Hairy Cornflake isn't on Radio 1 anymore. He might drop his dust encrusted can of Quattro in shock...Crackle said:
Seriously, get Doll Revolution. In fact, PM me and I'll make you a copy.
