Todd,

I'm pretty interested in the big British bands that never quite took off in
the US. My tastes are pretty mainstream, so I'll make a few recommendations.
Most of these have minor US success so dig deep for some real pop gems. I get
the feeling listening to these artists of what it's like to be part of a
foreign culture.

Give the following a deep listen:

10cc
Nick Lowe
Paul Wellar
Robbie Williams (I know, I know, but there's some real quality here.)
Queen ( dig out the album cuts)

And, while you're at it, try a couple of New Zealanders:
Neil and Tim Finn
Crowded House
Split Enz
Dave Dobbyn

Give' em a spin....Gene

np: McCartney: Press to Play
Bic Runga

Subject: British bands not Big in The U.S.

I have become interested (More so) in British bands
that are very big in Britain but not here. Mainly
1960's groups. Can anyone direct me to some of these
greta bands? I have Creation, The Move, Pretty Things,
Hullabaloos,Liverpool Express and probably a few
others. 

Also I have conflicting information. Is it The Rocking
Horse (Group) or a Jimmy Campbell solo project that
Joey Molland (before Badfinger) and Billy Kinsley
played on? Or did they play on seperate things? I saw
a review that some people are trying to get the
Rocking Horse album re-released. God Bless.
