THIS is from Chris, and its a great one:
what band should have made it king, but never really took off."
i'll go first with screaming blue messiahs. they were like a cross between the clash and a Jim Thompson novel.
their first albums is an absolute classic (Wild Blue Yonder), and their second one (Bikini Red) kicks ass. you can find live shows on Youtube. Bill Carter is was of the most hypnotic wild-eyed lead singer and guitarist ever.
They had fans as different as Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, and ...me.
Bowie was such a fan he hired them to open for him during the Glass Spider tour.
I've interviewed Carter before. and he's residing in a coastal town in england.
i wish they got bigger, but i love that their my best kept musical secret.
so what are you yours?
the band that should have been bigger than it was -- take it away!

What’s the worst impulse purchase you ever made?
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the families who have carried the unimaginable pain of losing someone they loved.
9/11 reminded us that nowhere feels completely safe and that life can change in an instant. But it also reminded us of courage, compassion, and the strength of people coming together.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
