I'm gonna add a british band called
James
. No one has ever talked about this band here.
They achived some level of success in late 80's / early 90's. Some of their songs are amongst the very best of british pop music. I highly recommend a few tracks;
Laid
,
Sit down
and
She's a Star
. If you can get their Best of, buy/steal/download it. It's a great compilation.

Yes, I have to say I'm quite impressed with your taste as well. I thought you were more of a metal fan a while back, but you've proven me wrong with the Pixies and now James!
Still interested in those Frank Black tunes we talked about a month or so ago?

Well i'm mainly cheesy hair metal but i do have other tastes, stoner rock, bit of 60s and bands who just happen to be damn good.
James
are great because they had the ability to write good catchy songs, with quality lyrics without having to lower themselves to sounding like much of the commercial bollocks and managing to also avoid sounding morbid and annoying like most indie bands....

Indeed i am. I've had my cheesy downloads for the month (
Warrant
,
Quiet Riot
etc....) so i feel like something different

The Black Crowes. An amazing band, with three amazing first records. In the late 90's the kinda faded away. Some blame Kate Hudson for the break up. Chris Robinson solo stuff was shit (So I heard).
Now are we talking about successful bands or good successful bands?
Anybody remember The Spin Doctors? they achieved massive success with that hit "if you" in the early nineties. I happened to live in America at the time, and all I'd hear on the radio was that song.

Yeah....
Got this from....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_Doctors
The Spin Doctors is a jam band from New York City, best known for its 1992 hits, "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong". Two Princes has had some continuous popularity since its release, having a brief appearance years later on an episode of Futurama. The album, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, sold poorly until MTV and radio began playing the songs. The album eventually went gold, and then received another boost in sales after the band's appearance on SNL(Saturday Night Live) in October of 1992, ultimately selling five million copies in the in the United States.
The original members are Chris Barron (lead vocals), Eric Schenkman (guitar and vocals), Aaron Comess(drums) and Mark White (bass).
Turn It Upside Down (1994) was relatively unsuccessful, though the second single, "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast", sold well. The follow-up, You've Got to Believe in Something (1996), sold poorly and the band lost its record contract, eventually signing to Uptown/Universal and released Here Comes the Bride in 1999.The band is currently on tour, promoting its new album.
Finally in 2001, the original members of Spin Doctors reunited and have recently recorded a new album, entitled Nice Talking to Me that was released on September 13th 2005.
May have to check out that new album, seems it wasn't released with much publicity, i thought this band were one hit wonders who dissappeared years ago....(reading that they kinda did...still...they're back now)
