Imaginos Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 After the thread about which US bands are popular in the UK I got thinking about all the great bands from wales. So who's you favourite? I think I'll go with Manic Street Preachers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Budgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0N Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Desecration are probably my favourite Welsh export. From that list it has to be the manics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosy Toes Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There's only Budgie - inspiration for Rush - worth listening to from Wales, now look you boyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The Manics EASILY. The Holy Bible is still a stunning piece of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgeranacoke Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Who are these bands you tally in the poll? I have only heard of Stereophonics and Budgie. CSB: I actually saw Budgie in a club in about 1978 or 9 in a club. First time i ever heard and saw Orange amps. really, an inspiration for Rush?

Tarkus406 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Only one of those I've heard is Manic Street Preachers and they're pretty cool in concert, so I went with em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCFIELDS Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Love budgie.....haven't heard most of the others except Manic Street Preachers, and thought they were terrible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Only one here that I'm familiar with is The Reasoning. I've heard a few of their songs on Youtube and thought they were decent. I haven't really listened to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaginos Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 My favourite Super Furry Animals album is "Mwng". The whole thing is sung in Welsh & I don't understand a word of it but it sounds fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 thank you for a pole that Budgie has a chance to win!! lol one of my favorite bands. Tony Bourge was a riff master. always thought of Burke Shelley as kind of a "second class Geddy" wth his raped goat voice he's awesome though! in for the kill baby!
