I was going to say The Smiths, but I looked them up and they weren't together past the late 80s. So, The Pixies it is :awesome: Local band, by the way :awesome:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Local to Boston, Massachussetts. Not to Portree - unlike both Runrig and Cliar.

Blah blah blah blah blah!

I saw them at Stonehenge once.

A bit disconcerting to happen upon.

My search for vinyl was hampered by mishearing them as The Car Mechanics.

I liked them a lot. I saw kristin hersh solo, and that was the day I decided I had to have a pug (she had one with her on stage that sat under her chair).

4AD in the late 80s/early 90s was putting out the best, most original music to be found. Pixies, Catherine Wheel, Breeders, Dead Can Dance, Belly, Red House Painters, His Name is Alive, Throwing Muses, Cocteau Twins, Lush, GusGus, and lots of others I'm forgetting at the moment!

Yep. And the Smiths would definitely be on my top 10 list for 80s :biggrin:

I liked Throwing Muses a lot too. The Real Ramona is still one of my favourite albums.

Yeah, not sure what's up with that. Pretty sure soundgarden were around before nirvana and smashing pumpkins.
By almost ten years. Those guys are older than balls.
They formed 4 years before (1984) The Smashing Pumpkins (1988) and sounded very samey in the grunge rock mode. Never liked their music. Chris Cornell is very talented though.

Smashing Pumpkins are definitely top 50.

As much as I like grunge, and fill out the top of my list from that timeframe with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Temple of the Dog, I'm going to go with:

#1 from the early '90s: Dream Theater

Images and Words was an explosion of awesome on the music scene.

That must have been an unique experience. I tragically never saw them live and now sadly am never likely to.
