    Live
    There's some pretty cool bands on that list. I'd forgotten all about Paw, I used to play Dragline to death when I was a kid.

    The last Living Colour album (The Chair In The Doorway) is outstanding! I'd completely forgotten about them until I stumbled across it in a record store one day.

    Every now and then I 'rediscover' dEUS. I forget all about them for years then can't stop listening to them.

    Another Ben Folds Five fan, awesome! I really love their music.


    I'd add Toad the Wet Sprocket to the list. Heard them on Sirius the other day and had forgotten how much I liked their sound.

    Awesome band! They are still touring actually. They kind of got lumped in with a lot of mediocre alternative music, unfairly.

    BIG STAR...........from the the 70 s


    I think they are the great 'Lost Band' of that era - but at least they now have been found, and seem pretty well known these days. Amazing amazing stuff.

    Between your 19k posts and the fact you like Creed I think you have a split personality.

    THE VINES. Not that old of a band, but I completely forgot about the until a few months back when I had my Ipod on shuffle and had no clue I had a couple of their albums on there and I listened to them and they both have some kick ass tracks on there. I'm not sure what happened to them though.

    I was just listening to 'Vision Valley' this morning, they are a band that really should have been bigger. Their fifth album 'Future Primitive' is out this month so I'll probably be getting that soon.

    Actually Future Primitive is "out" now. It's very good. Way better than their previous two albums. :thumbup:
