It's too bad Adrian left to join Whitesnake. Same here...front row. I thought they put on a hell of a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vices is a killer album... Welcome to the Club was alright... And Teaze, they also had a pretty rocking debut, and I still listen to their live album maybe once a month - straight-forward rock, no glam or other nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Dif Juz. They defined what would become the 4AD sound in the 1980s. They had far too short a career and not nearly enough releases. Amazing band: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Semisonic - they went pop and then broke up Living Colour - Such an underrated band Dada - although they have recently reunited full-time Concrete Blonde - Smashing 3rd album - Bloodletting They couldn't keep up the success....

Scars Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Off the top of my head: Tears for Fears (only 3 true albums--excluding the reunion album--in 7 years). I suppose 7 years seems like a long time, it just feels like they could have done so much more. Yes, they're not exactly obscure, but if "The Seeds of Love" is any indication of the direction the band was going in (as in, highly experimental) then I wish there was more material. And I'm talking TFF as a duo, not the solo-Roland TFF. Bruce Hornsby & the Range (3 albums in a 5 year period). While "A Night on the Town" was definitely a disappointment in my eyes, the first two albums are masterpieces I could listen to a million times. It's a shame that Bruce got a little *too* influenced by jazz/bluegrass and hasn't put out anything particularly mind-blowing since The Range. As mentioned, The Dream Academy (3 albums in 6 years). They're definitely far from my favorite group and I would hardly consider their stuff "classic," but they brought about a very unique sound. Their songwriting was very atmospheric and blurred some lines between pop and classical--I definitely don't think "formulaic" for a second when listening to their stuff. Fine Young Cannibals (2 albums in 4 years). While pretty much just the band that sung "She Drives Me Crazy," they did demonstrate a gift for catchy pop hooks. While I don't predict they would have broken any barriers with further albums, it would've have been nice to have a few more CD's of material from them. Just generally upbeat, poppy stuff with some unique vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Artful Dodger (American band from Virginia) Were only popular in Cleveland & Pittsburgh.

Fugazi Secret French Kissing Society Noctournal Zoo Great music too short of a career span. As for Living Colour, yes very underrated but still putting out music even though very infrequent. Last release 2009....http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3c/Living_chair300x300.jpg/220px-Living_chair300x300.jpg Saw that tour at the 9:30 Club ind DC an excellent show only dissappointed once in the 11 times I've seen the band. Vernon had some guiter reverb problems all show long, a very kool guy backstage. Here's a single from the album speaking about New Orleans and the aftermath of Katrina.

TheAccountant Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I agree with many of the groups already mentioned so I won't repeat them. I will however toss in 2 names not already mentioned. They are: 1. GTR ( 1 album - minimal touring) 2. The Firm (2 albums - not much touring) Like a big chunk of GTR's albums and parts of both Firm albums. Wish I could have seen either / both of them in concert. Wish they could have recorded more. Actually, I just thought of another group / artist. Scandel / Patty Smyth - Scandel had 2 good albums (loved The Warrior - still do) and the one solo album that I remember her doing I really like. Interesting story goes with her. I once heard that when VH tossed out David Lee Roth, Eddie VH wanted to bring Patty Smyth in as the new lead singer. The others talked him into Sammy. Don't know if it is true. Anybody else ever about this?? Makes you wonder what might have been....

Cool 80's sound dripping with reverb and chorus, but the song itself (and the video for certain) was pretty boring...But the sound was cool.
