I’ve been a huge fan since ‘84. Been to a fair few gigs. The best live band by far.

My nomination for the most under appreciated band:
Manic Street Preachers
Any opinions?

Yeah I like them, probably spearheaded the import of US grunge into the UK. I didnt think they could hold plateau long enough and I guess the guy that disappeared took a lot of their creative mojo with him. They lost the dualistic energy most great bands crave, unless of course you are Bowie or Dylan anomalies.

Great points. I actually think they improved after Edwards disappearance. They grew up and sharpened up their songwriting.

Sometimes I think this is the best track on the album, and at other times, I know it is!

Seeing the Sisters Of Mercy earlier in the thread has made me go old school:
Fucking brilliant.

Should have said earlier, easily one of the best band names ever, BTW.

I’ve been a huge fan too. My first album was “The Unforgettable Fire” 84 
my first gig was ZOO TV in Denmark.
And I still love the music
