Ever heard Tiny Tim? No I won't post the hit... with a bullet.

Tiny Tim was a novelty act and one hit wonder, but yes, he was annoying as well.

Proto-Industrial? Rammstein 15 years before Rammstein?

Sisters of Mercy hits the nail on the head for me.  I had "First and Last and Always" on vinyl way back when. Not sure how I stumbled into them, at the time I was listening to metal almost exclusively but I always thought that album was strong. I'll have to revisit to see if it stands the test of time.

Never heard of this group so I listened to the video. To be honest It didn't do anything for me... just different tastes in music is what it comes down to.

Wow.  Musicians sitting around playing music in a very musical way.

 

How refreshing! 

 

It's hard to find this now, and it's all because of MTV.

 

There are still great musicians out there, but you have to dig around to find them.

HSAS --- Hagar, Schon, Aaronson (Bassist of the year in the 80's), Shrieve (drummer, Santana). Supergroup w/ one great album.

It really is... Oldfield was just 19 when he composed this. Wonder if he's still around, I haven't looked. Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever would be other good ones if someone is looking for pure musicians... or even ELP or Yes if you want something with words.

One more nobody will know, and sadly forgotten...Bay Area band of the year in the early 80's. Somehow they never got a big deal. The Bay loved them back in the day.

That's because they showed the record execs this video.  Dear God, that is about the lamest thing I've ever seen, and I only made it 90 seconds into it.

Thank the Good Lord for drugs. Without them Rock 'n' Roll would have died decades ago.

Alan Parsons or any variation of him (engineer of DSOTM) has hit virtually every kind of modern day music except for cuntry... prog, pop, classical, rock, new wave, psych, ... and probably inspired a **** ton of bands who play today.

I had a cassette tape with about 2 hours of APP.

2 hour cassettes... thin tape and and sound. I liked the 90 min ones, still have a few.

 

Montrose. Not a band we hear about much anymore, good choice.

I'm guessing you weren't around in the early 80's to watch MTV. I'll say not bad for a group w/ no cash on hand to make a video.

Sex Pistols.  Great punk group who really only released one album "Never Mind the Bullocks, Here's the Sex Pistols"

Bollocks is one of the greatest albums of all time. It defined a genre.  Not one that I'll ever forget.

Exactly.  It was ground breaking, as well as an affront to disco, which at the time (1977) was at the height of popularity.

Yes, but it's hardly forgotten.

 

Everyone, even spoiled millennials, knows who the Sex Pistols are.

I'm not so sure about that.  Most of the kids today are more concerned with Taylor Swift, rap/hip-hop, and the like.  I haven't asked any of them if they know who the Sex Pistols are; they may have 'heard' of them just because of the unique name, but I doubt they could identify any of their music or know who Johhny Rotten (Lydon) is.
