OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VII ["And his hair was perfect"]

Yep, I know this one ...late 90's were an interesting time for alternative music as most of the best songs were buried on the charts behind boy bands and other junk. This is another example.

She sounds like she should be in Camera Obscura.

Right? They are really, really good.

Holy hell...Geddy playing with Yes (one of the very few that could do Chris Squire proud), and a 72 or 73 year old Jon Anderson singing like it was still 1970.

I'm utterly amazed his voice is still top notch. Amazing performance!

Punk Floyd in all their glory.

(even if towards the very end of them being brilliant. 77-81 or so was their prime. Still moments of genius though until the end of the classic line-up in '90... albeit by ~86-87 seemed jaded already.)

No-one else has ever sounded like them or ever will. No matter how hard some have tried.

One of the best bassists ever, a very gifted keyboardist, a pretty interesting, uniquish guitarist and a rock-steady drummer. Who were very well educated both in music and the wider world and wrote some beautiful as well as fascinating lyrics... and frankly bizarre musical phrases at times that worked amazingly.

I went to a Stranglers concert mid-80s that I hadn't planned on, wearing a white Flyers jersey. Didn't know they were playing (obviously pre-internet) til I walked past the venue. You'll never stand out like a sore thumb more than wearing white to the Stranglers.
And yes, they were great.

Camera Obscura discourse has my enduring respect

Found this great documentary on the origins of Punk in London in 1976. Some great early footage in here.
