The Jesus And Mary Chain - Happy When It Rains

Once again, I am very late to the party for discovering this band.  I don't remember hearing them here in Fossil Bed.

It was about three years ago I heard them on the radio.  They are great!
 

The Tourists Blind Among the Flowers On the Old Grey Whistle Test

I knew that Dave and Annie had been in the Tourists, but I had only seen their cover of "I Only Wanna be With You" before.

Jon Astley - Jane's Getting Serious (1987)

"And I could get serious, too..." Jon Astley is an amazing songwriter.  This song got used in a... ketchup commercial, I think.

Adrian Belew - intro + Oh Daddy

This fun song is from 1989, so Audie- Adrians's daugher- is now probably in her 40s.

The Smithereens - "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" - Saturday Live (21-03-1987)

I liked this band in the 80s, but in the last 15 years that has turned to love.  What a great band!

Yazoo- Nobody's Diary

I do like SOME synth-pop.  This duo is one of them.  Great hooks and a great voice.

Whale of a Tale- 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

A nice bit of whimsey in a Disney?  Say it ain't so!

Big Pig- Breakaway 1988

I remember hearing this song and perhaps "Hungry Town" on KBCO when it was released.  It wasn't a huge hit in the US.  However...

Bruce and John- Fortunate Son live!

Almost caught up!  This is still a powerful song to this day!

THE PROFESSIONALS - Join The Professionals (1981)

One thing The Fabulous Stains did was introduce me to this great band via the soundtrack.

The Communards – Don’t Leave Me This Way (Top Of The Pops 1986)

I am not usually a fan of this kind of music, but  makes the whole thing for me.  It isn't for the obvious reason ONLY, though.

Shock Treatment from Shock Treatment (1981)

Since I reviewed this movie earlier this year (episode 755) I have grown to love it.

Broken Peach - F*dge You

Broken Peach is a Spanish group from Spain, and they are a lot of fun.

I Useta Love Her- The Saw Doctors (live)

I discovered this song about 14 years ago, one of the nice things about YouTube, right?

XTC- Fireball XL5

Who knew XTC would be cool enough to cover this great theme song?

Hellflowers- Girl U Want

Another great song by the Hellflowers- yes, it is a cover of a great Devo song!

Ming Tea- BBC

This was the song and band that actually inspired The Austin Powers franchise of movies.

The Vapors- Waiting for the Weekend

I really do love this band, and they should have been more than a "one hit wonder" in this country.

The Sonics- The Witch (1964)

I just heard of this song about five days ago, then the band Soraia recently posted them doing a cover of it.

Garden Party by Ricky Nelson 1972

This song was a huge hit for Ricky Nelson, but at the time it came out I had no idea who he was.  It was overplayed, and I didn't have a clue what he was singing about at the time.
