Nothing wrong with Meatloaf or Twisted Sister. I don't know if these two artists have any fans on here but I like Mike Oldfield and also Alan Parsons.  For bad groups does Village People count??
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Mike Oldfield - a one album career. good work if you can get it.
Alan Parsons Project - Turn Of A Friendly Card is a good album.

Is that the same Michael Jackson who has sold millions upon millions or records worldwide?

Three for me, and two for them.

No, pretty much everything since off the wall I've hated.

Off the Wall, and much of the Jackson 5 stuff though... Genius.

Thanks, FM for confirming my suspicion....although the fox could do with a few chicken burgers to add some meat to the frame!

I'm just saying, Chief, that "Wanna be startin' something'" is one of the greatest songs of all time. When that song comes on, and you're not moving, you should check your pulse for signs of life.

When I lived in England I went to Noddy Holder's daughter's wedding. He had shaved off his bugger grips at that stage. I got drunk and told him that Slade were lousy, but thanked him for supplying The Damned with so many musical ideas.

I'm hearing you loud and clear... so many quality songs, so little recognition. Though to truly understand the VP, you have to watch their music vids

In addition:
Europe
A-Ha
and more recently Mando Diao... Swedish group I saw over there a few years back, they're a little unknown in NZ but I have this awful feeling that if they were better known, most would hate them. Most people over 15, anyway.

"I admire Mark Knopfler's guitar ability and appreciate his brand of contemporary MOR white man's rhythm and blues, and all the work he's done for the headband industry, but if he came round my gaff, all lagered up and frightening the missus, I'd say, "Oi! Knopfler, no!" and give 'im a slap!"
