In reply to Gary's query about bands that need to be knocked off their
perch ....

>Matthew Sweet
Good songwriter, but I find his voice bland and whiney over a whole album's
worth.
>Squeeze
Great singles band, but their albums are way overrated.
>XTC
Again, never could see what all the fuss was about....apart from the
singles compilation, I don't feel any great need to have any of their other
stuff.
>Myracle Brah
I dug the first 3 albums, but does anyone else out there think that Bleeder
is a bit of a turkey in comparison?
>Teenage Fanclub
Schizo band: The Blake/Love songs are great. The McGinley songs are not.
And he cannot sing either. A good argument against democratic song sharing
in a band.
>The Vandalias
>The Shazam
Two of my faves, they deserve their place on their perch!
