    I have an 80's "Metal" CD that my friend gave me and for some reason the last song on it is Who's Behind the Door, I always think, why is this on a "Metal" CD and what the hell ever happened to Zebra. Or hell I used to love Triumph back in the day and they kind of just faded out....


    Triumph was a great band...too bad they emploded so early! Thinking man's metal!

    I used to like Zebra.....saw them open for Cheap Trick way back when!

    They were probably too out of it!

    The perfect prescription by Spacemen 3 is a fantastic record

    Last song: Tell Me What You Want (I'm guessing my favourite tune by these guys!).

    Great guess. But it's not even one of their own. Hint: they are playing a special set of this band at BB King's in NYC later this year. And even then it's not an obvious song.

    As an aside if you can track it down, this is one of the great live albums I have.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Failure

    They released "Fantastic Plant" in '96, which had the single "Stuck on You" which got some airplay, had the Depeche Mode cover "Enjoy the Silence" that was released in '98, and then gone. Ken Andrews (lead singer) did some side projects, but even he kinda fell off the face of the earth. Really too bad because Fantastic Planet is an awesome album, one of my favorites. Think I'll spin it now!

    Someone mentioned Hum, and they too are phenomenal. They play a couple shows a year in the midwest but haven't released an album since '98.

    Another one, although they are back together and touring now, is At The Drive In.

    Blind Melon N Alice in Chains

    These two. Blind melon is such a great summer band. All 3 albums are perfect to listen to outside during a nice bbq.

    Surprised it took 6 pages for someone to mention AiC. Im listening to their last album for the first time in years and really wish Layne could've cleaned himself up for atleast a 4th album. I know they're around now with Duvall but it is not the same at all. Their new album is just a Jerry Cantrell solo record to me. Anyway.....

    Uncle Tupelo, anyone?

    I second Blind Melon, and would add the original (Gram Parsons) lineup of the Flying Burrito Brothers.

    Oh, and Derek and the Dominos...love that one album they did!
