Not to highjack the thread but I saw the subject line and thought, "Who?"
I am always amazed when people talk about an old band and I have never heard of them and they look at me like I have green horns growing out of my head (I do know Fairport Convention). Lately I found "Deep Tracks" on Sirius and have heard bands I never knew.
There was a newer '80's band coming to town that friends were going to see called Erasure and I said, "Who?" My friend then dug out a dust covered CD saying, "When you hear this you'll remember." Never heard of a single song played from that disc... I wasn't much into the crap during the Disco period and the pop stuff from the '80's but when there's stuff from the '60's I don't recognize, well, I fall back on Robin Williams' favorite saying.
