Best underated Brit group of the last 20 years

[Roadrider48]

formed in 81 ... came to light in 82 83 (Scottish band)
Still roaming around some where... I believe

Except for Stuart Adamson who sadly passed away.

Venom.

Not terribly good in themselves but arguably they inspired a whole sub-genre.

Watch some of their shows on YouTube, it's hilarious

 

[zimzum42]

Oh, and Therapy?

 

[Melonfish]

any band that writes their own music and isn't backed by a huge label.

Now I know I am slightly older then you... so can tell you that way back in the midst of metal time i went to see the bands very first Hammersmith show in 1984. Bloody brilliant it was too. (Check out The Seven Gates Of Hell on You Tube)

Their first trio of albums Welcome To Hell, Black Metal (this one especially) and At War With Satan are genre defining and influenced a whole slew of imitators. Hey Zimzum I don't need to tell you this, so it's for the general CC populace who will not be interested in this waffle anway.

Any band that inspired Max Cavalera deserve their place in a hall of fame

I agree completely....Mutley, Worzel the bast### and the Beater. I have a cd somewhere. "Sweaty Betty" and the rest.

[Over The Hill]

The Lover Speaks

They were a duo around in the mid 80s but somehow never took off. This is their original version of "No more I love yous" I think it is far better than the Annie Lennox version. Their album is in my loft and had some strong tracks on it. Perhaps just an odd name?

Can't help feeling that the Scandi's got the wrong end of the stick and ended up taking it all a bit too seriously.
