I never thought Doves got as much credit as they deserved. Some great material. The Last Broadcast is a tremendous album.


Yes one of my favourite albums

Chic. The musicianship of Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson is stunning.

That all three went on to work with Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry and a host of other “credible acts” shows the6 were more than just a disco band.

And that’s before you even consider their songwriting.

I don't mind the Charlatans but their longevity was more to do with the fact that they were savvy enough to hang on the coattails of whatever musical genre was fashionable at the time.

Good call. Not a bad track on Infected. Dusk is also an absolutely stunning piece of work.

Not so keen on his Hank Williams album.

I saw them at MK Bowl backing up Simple Minds around 1990 I reckon


Weren't they the warm up act for Bowie at the MKB? Or was that the Men they Couldn't hang?

It was very hot and AAI was pissed.

Runrig hugely underrated and I only really came across them two or three years ago which was thirty odd years too late.
They have now finished but at least I did get to see them once.

Yes. There are a few bits and pieces from Hanky Panky onwards but not much.

But those 4 albums at his height (Soul Mining, Infected, Mindbomb and Dusk) are as good and strong a series of albums as I can think of.

Thought of another great band who should have been massive ... Echo and the Bunnymen.
I don't think Ian McCulloch wanted it though!

Ah you could be right because I saw Bowie around the same time at MKB.

Yes, I must have got muddled up. The Stranglers supported Simple Minds..........which give me a chance to post this belter!

Although I dunno what Jim Kerr was playing at.

They were on the arse end of Baggy and as soon as Oasis went massive they came over all “North Country Boy” which was the sort of song Noel was knocking out in his sleep.

Simple minds are a good addition to most underrated bands list.

In the mid 80's they were neck and neck with U2 as the dominant stadium band but fell way ion the 90's whereas U2 kicked on with Actung Baby.

Listening back to those early simple minds records and I appreciate them far more.

As is Reward, JC got off to a good start with The Greatness And Perfection Of Love and World Shut Your Mouth, but I think the drugs did for him in the end.

Astonishingly he is still alive at 61 and just four years ago had a novel published by Faber and Faber.

But I used to work for someone who had engineered for both Cope and The Stranglers, Cope did in a weekend what all four Stranglers put together did in a fortnight.
