Bands that have come and gone that you miss

Recommended Posts

I saw a video at the gym last night for Living Colour's "Glamour Boys". I LOVED that band in HS. Will Calhoun was my favorite drummer until I got into Danny Carey (Tool). My cover band in HS did almost that entire album as part of our set:

 

Desperate People

Open Letter (to a landlord)

Cult of Personality

Middle Man

Broken Hearts

Memories Can't Wait

 

What a great album

 

Then they came along with Time's Up, which also was peppered with killer tracks.

Biscuits was good in it's own right for a live/short album

 

Bought Stain, it was ok I guess

heard a horrendous cover tune on Collideoscope and decided to pass

 

but man, I do miss the hey-day of that band

Faith No More

 

I was going to put them as well - but after Angel Dust (one of my favorite albums of all time) they went down hill for me.

I'll probably repost this in the other thread too...

 

Faith No More never sold out. They hit it big with their The Real Thing album and their hit single "Epic". For the next 3 albums, they churned out a different sound everytime, continuing an evolution of their music, and an erosion of the fan base they had built up. I respected them for it, and I throughly enjoyed everything they put out. Angel Dust; King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime; and Album of the Year are all solid through and through. That is why they are my favorite band of all time.

:banana: King for a Day is their best album and I would call it (along with Weezer's Pinkerton) the most underrated of album of all time. I count FNM among my all time favorites becuase every album was great (they even kicked @$$ with Chuck Mosley on vocals :o ).

 

My list:

Athiest

Death (RIP - Chuck Schuldiner)

FNM

Kyuss

Morphine (RIP - Mark Sandman)

RATM

You don't know Faith No More or Rage Against the Machine?

My apologies. The acronym I am not familiar with. I must not be as hip/cool as I thought! :banana:

No worries. I thought they were well known but, who knows...I may have just made them up :banana:

 

You may want to be thank ful that you don't know some on the list but you should at least give Morphine a chance. Drumer, bassist, and sax player...not metal in the least.

I will bend an ear and see if I like 'em. I'll let you know, thanks! :banana:
