RA Dunk

Ahh Blondie, funny enough I've been listening to her alot lately, absolute sex kitten in her day, there wasn't a straight guy (and probably half the benders as well) in the Uk didn't fancy her.

You've individual artists might pop up, online, perhaps

Otherwise it seems be steady stream manufactured dross

Too many to name really but above all I loved Joy Division and New Order, still do

derek sti

Remember seeing joy division supporting the buzzcocks didn't think much of them at the time nor realised how important they where to become.

We all know he's been around since the second World War.

New Order.

Dingdongler

Depends on what you call a band I suppose, but during my time

1) Specials, Selector, Madness, The Jam

2) Afrika Bam, Mantronix

3) Public Enemy, Run DMC ,Beasty Boys, LL Cool J

4) Happy Mondays

5) Prodigy, Faithless

My other musical 'influences' couldn't possibly be referred to as 'bands'



If I could see any of the above again live it would be Public Enemy boyeeeeeeee

Joy Division - New Order were fantastic, but would have been even more so had Curtis not passed away
