named after a road in Raynes Park where they lived and not far from me. loved the brothers Wilson and saw them many many times Julian is a keen cyclist and has done the etape several times, he used to hang out at Pearsons in sutton a lot. their track, "track 40" is about cycling and named after a road sign near Sutton.
they were the best band in britain until they split and then Guillemots took over that title

except their best 2 'albums' (or # 3&4) released in the 90's - fab band though....

Defying the 20 year rule by a decade, I'm chucking in Fields of the Nephilim.
Also, who cares if you'd recognise Muse in the street?! They are vastly overrated.

According to wiki they opened for Eurythmics on their tour. Granted they waited about 8 years and Dave Stewart did help them get a bit of a break but he did then nick the track.
It is so odd that great artists go unnoticed while rubbish makes it to the charts.
I keep playing the album on youtube. It is of its age but really stands up well.

I remember going to see them at Cheltenham Town Hall years ago, the Saturday girl in my mum and dad's shop at the time was a big fan and she must have persuaded me to go along. I can't really remember much about the music but visually it was really good, all those long coats, tons of dry ice and back lighting, it looked uber cool.
Also, as I was browsing Amazon last week, I saw one of those 5 cd box set for about fifteen quid things by them, so I bought it.

Bargain. Got a link? If it's stuff by them I've not already got I will be getting involved.
Happy listening!!
Edited to add that they count on a technicality as they reformed in 1998!

Actually, I take this back, because Joy Division split up in 1980, which is more than 20 years ago. I wish time didn't creep up on us like that!Joy Division!They didn't exactly have mega-success, although New Order subsequently did, but Joy Division was definitely underrated at the time (my own opinion, of course).
