    "We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"

    Crash Test Dummies had a few good songs did they not?

    Another one i can think of is the one that goes How Bizzare, How Bizzarre, cant remember who did it.

    Simple Minds man....they had a great follow up: Alive and Kicking.

    Plus, Jim Kerr was, at one time, married to Chrissy Hynde.

    their albums from 67-71 are brit psychedelia at its best, if you're into that stuff.
