Bands you severely regret having ever liked
deborah:
chumbawumba, if i'm not mistaken, is comprised of former member(s) of crass, who definitely fit the "anarchist" label. it should also be noted that crass and chumbawumba sound about as similar as the cure and dinosaur jr.s versions of "just like heaven."
i still consider chumbawumba to be legitimate, considering they put out a live album with noam chomsky on the second cd. also (although this is totally hearsay from my standpoint) i heard when they were on the interview circuit of national tv late night shows, they were encouraging watchers/listeners to shoplift the cd rather than give the money to The Man.
none of this, by the way, discounts the fact that "Tubthumping" was responsible for my last radio alarm clock's demise - i threw it against the wall in revulsion after hearing that stupid song EVERY MORNING AT SEVEN AM FOR A MONTH STRAIGHT.

Weird, former members of Crass? That's too bands I can vaugely think of (vaugely as I can't even remember the name of the other band at the moment) with former members of Crass.
deborah:
i'm seeing conflicting crap on the internet about it. apparently that loser punk ex boyfriend of mine didn't know everything after all. either people from crass are in chumbawumba, or the two bands combined on a side project, or chumbawumba was just heavily influenced by the crass. i can't sift through the google crap to get to the truth of the matter, and i don't really care at this point in my work day.
uhh...so a band i hate admitting i used to listen to...
i'm going to go with T'Pau on this one. there was some really enormously bad catchy music in the 80s.
i also had a friend who suckered me into listening to her nitty gritty dirt band cassette tape, but i knew that was crap straight off. "fishin' in the dark" made my ears bleed.
happybirthdaygelatin:
Conflict may have been the band I am thinking of. A not so quick search does. I am calling it good at that, I can't be bothered to go through the slough of information to look up Chumbawumba.
When I was a little kid I'd get on table top in restraunts and sing and dance to Tina Turner and Michael Jackson.
a pack of wolves:
I'm pretty certain Chumbawamba aren't ex-Crass, I've never heard it mentioned anyway and I'm sure it'd have come up somewhere down the line. I know some people who're friends with them (maybe one used to sing for them?), I'll maybe ask next time I see them if I remember.
