One thing that is unfortunate, is that there are (were) a lot of very talented bands (in all genres) that put out one or maybe two awesome songs, then you never heard from them again for whatever reasons (not enough political pull within the music industry is the biggest, the band broke up or even they achieved their dream of making an album and moved onto something else).





Oh yes, there are so many bands who have had one or two great albums ands then have gone away never to be heard of again. And to take that further, think of the number of really talented mucisians who have never made an record simply because they were not at the right place at the right time.

On that note, a "rock" band that for me are musically brilliant, Toto are one of my favorites. Ive often heard them refered to as "the musicians band". Saw them in London back in the 80's and the audiance was a whos who of the London music sene. Made fore a very strange atmosphere.
