Just whacking on Tyketto's second album 'Strength in numbers' Brilliant album with Brooke St. James playing excellently. Any bands out there in the forgotten mists of time that you want to pass on?

Just whacking on Tyketto's second album..
I love Tyketto but I wouldn't go so far as "whacking" on them.. :roll: :lol:
My forgotten band = T-Ride
My guilty pleasure = Danger Danger
-
errrm just thinking that I better clarify this...I was putting the album on my CD player...not WHACKING on or off the album.
Let's just leave it t that eh! :?
-
The Seahorses - cracking album
-
I really like the first Tyketto album, but never got any of the others. Was Danny Vaughn still there for the second?
There were a lot of great bands in the late 80s/early 90s who kind of got overlooked because they weren't (a)hair metal or (b)grunge. They're still some of my favourites:
Circle Of Soul
Burning Tree
Nuclear Valdez
Big Chief
Warrior Soul
Galactic Cowboys
Saigon Kick
King's X
Living Colour
... and probably many others I've forgotten for the moment.

Seahorses was a cracking album, blinded by the sun & love is the law (the album version) is brilliant!
Philly the second album had Danny vaughan singing on it & it is a great album, but the thrid is Steve Augri who went on to sing with Journey

Be-Bop Deluxe ( especially "Live In The Air Age" )
Racing Cars
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ( original line up before Alex died ).
Supertramp. (early era, especially "Crime Of The Century" ).
ELO ( the early Jeff Lynn era albums - up to and including "Eldorado")

ELO ( the early Jeff Lynn era albums - up to and including "Eldorado")
I was a big ELO fan when I was about 14, then they released the below-par Discovery and I learned to my horror that the string section didn't actually play on the records anymore (it was all synthesised). Suddenly I went right off them.
Couple of months later I started getting into Deep Purple and its offshoots, and the rest is history....
-
The Standells and Magnum
don't know anybody who listens to them :?
-
Jackyl their first album was just fantastic and featured a chainsaw solo. I've been revisting their stuff again recently, great vibe
-
Ah Fourth Feline-Alex Harvey band eh?Brings back great memories.

Dear 38th Beatle,
Happy memories ( of 'The Sensational Alex Harvey Band' ) indeed ...
The original musicians are touring again this year as "Zalvation". They have a couple of June UK dates, then back in December from Europe etc.
I just feel it would not be the same without the great man ( Alex ) himself.
Wouldn't mind meeting Zal Cleminson while I still have a chance though.
Sadly they are not gigging close enough to Leeds this year :
( nearest is Newcastle or Liverpool ) - even if I felt inspired to go.
Sound clips on their website and a 'Guitar' magazine interview with Zal seem to indicate a "modernising" of their sound, ( EMG pickup through a Marshall 'Mode 4' ) - which does not appeal to me as much as the old days either.
Still, who can forget driving round listening to such great albums as "Next", "Live", "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" and so many others.
Alex was more than just a singer, he was a consummate entertainer and actor. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at the old 'Fforde Green' in Leeds. He was on his last tour with his "New Band" - promoting the album
"The Mafia Stole My Guitar". My lady friend and I had arrived extra early for good seats, and he came outside with a security guard to have a cig. I could have fainted... very charismatic man indeed.
R.I.P.

Hi Philly Q,
I quite agree about E.L.O. For me THE albums were:
"Elderado"
and
"On The Third Day"
The golden era, just after Roy Wood left, and before they went synthesised.
:D
-
Groundhogs
-
Love/Hate! still one of my absolute favourite bands, and Jizzy Pearl's recent solo albums aren't too bad either. I can find time often enough for Faster Pussycat's first album as well.
-
Mott the Hoople
When Oasis have forgotten to rape and pillage the Beatles back catalogue, theyre robbing Mott the Hoople :shock:
Another thought is Nazareth (for a SHAB connection)

Nazareth amuse me no end, maybe just cause they're all from where I live, but I've played with them on stage various times at jam nights and stuff and I speak to folk every so often that seem to be amazed. But they're just old guys that drink in sinky's to me.

Love/Hate! still one of my absolute favourite bands
Absolutely love the first two albums, but Let's Rumble with that Darren Housholder chap on guitar was shitee (even though "technically" :roll: he was much better than Jon E Love). Never got any later stuff.

Let's Rumble grew on me, i really like it now. agree though, the first two albums are stunning! the later stuff was more inconsistent and, frankly, pretty weird, but there were always some good songs.
these days Jizzy basically fronts all the 80s LA bands that have re-formed without a singer! he even did a new album with LA Guns.
