Great choices there. I'm a big fan of all four. I even met Lou Reed once in person and got him to sign my copy of "Metal Machine Music". You bet he gave me dirty looks.
Some great choices been made. I'm a little surprised no-one has mentioned Durutti Column, but you can't have everything...
I am going to post that end of year poll I mentioned a few weeks ago this week, so it's good that everyone's thinking about stuff to vote for.
Anyone else like Interpol by the way?
Being from the Antipodies, I really love the Headless Chickens. Their early stuff is $$%%^&& Amazing. Has the same intensity of JD with the technology of NO.
Being able to see them live, for me, almost makes up for not ever seeing JD.
