ZRod Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The only song from The Cult that I know of is "Edie" You now have to go listen to Wild Flower, She Sells Sanctuary, and Fire Woman. Those are my go to, old school rocking songs. I love Sanctuary it always puts me in a good mood even if I don't know half the words to this day. Quote Link to comment

OH HSKR FAN Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Toto had a few hits back in the 80s but I think they were pressured to play a style that was MTV friendly. They were left for dead here in the US but have been able to keep playing over in Europe. Still have a solid following over there. Here is a clip from a show back in 2007 . . . 1 Quote Link to comment

NUinID Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Toto is another great example of what I am talking about. They were on there way up when MTV started they wern't real video frendly. Good Call OH. Fire Woman is my go to Cult song. GSG I bet you have heard by The Call. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 I bet you heard this by The Smithereens. Quote Link to comment

The song from The Call sounds vaguely familiar, but the one from The Smithereens does not. I'll have to give them a better listen when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd add in Social Distortion. Always thought they had that "it" sound, and they didn't seem to get the credit they deserved. Corrosion of Conformity I'd like to add Clutch. They're probably the best example of a band that should be much bigger than they are. Also, I always thought Pearl Jam and Nirvana got the credit Soundgarden and Alice in Chains deserved. 4 Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Gary Numan, The Smiths, The Faint, to name a few. Quote Link to comment

Side note, AiC has a new album out soon! I could list several bands that no one ever heard of at all, but that's probably a different thread. That said a couple I think should have more notoriety than they do are Machine Head and Mastodon. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Machine Head and Mastodon. I get to see them both in July! Quote Link to comment
