Add to my list: DFA 1979

I think I'd actually heard "Blood on our Hands" when the single came out, but I didn't really pay attention.

Wait so you're letting something that happened 10 years ago ruin your quality of life? What are you, America? :psyduck:

You are so right about this.  I was lucky enough to see them 3 times between '91 and '93, so I made it just under the wire.  Easily among my top three favorite bands ever.

On the other hand, how many Fugazis are there for every Twilight Singers or Zwan?

Yeah, or Wings?  God, Wings...

Or whatever it is that Robert Plant is doing nowadays.  I think he was tapping on a beaded gourd when I last saw his concert.

Independently, the music was okay, but when you're watching it, you're constantly reminded that it's Robert Fucking Plant.  It's like Jesus got a segment talking about agriculture on Martha Stewart's morning talk show.

It's hard to follow up a past band/act with something completely different, and it's just as hard for the fans of the old stuff.  I can want another NMH album, but it won't happen, even if the band Magner made after NMH was steller.

Twilight Singers are fucking godly. Powder Burns was my album of the year for 2006.

I definitely regret missing out on Pavement, then there's Five Iron Frenzy/Catch 22/The Aquabats. (The Aquabats do not count as still together, they don't even have a brass section anymore. And yes, I know about Streetlight, but aside from Kalnoky, they are actually a very different band.) I also wish I'd been there for some of the hip-hop groups that were actually hip-hop, i.e. De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Redman, Jungle Brothers, so on and so forth. Oh, and Mr. Bungle.

Mansun were pretty good, but because of the NME (somehow the definitive UK authority on music nowadays) calling them too gimmicky they were virtually ignored at a time when Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Blur and the Manics ruled the charts.

Mansun were more than pretty good. Their first two records are brilliant. Blows the shit out of Ocean Colour Scene, for sure.

I believe Conception is the only band I listen to that I wish I had heard of before they broke up. Of course, I don't think they ever managed to get a North American tour while they were active and even their reunion a few years back consisted of a few shows in Norway.
