Inspired by the song Late Greats (You can listen to the entire song by clicking on the image and scrolling down to Late Greats) by Wilco, I started digging around in all of my old music. I found some really great stuff that I forgot I had. So this thread is dedicated to the bands that time forgot... or just really good bands that nobody else knows of. Here is my list:

Face to Face

Fugazi

The Lillingtons

The Long Winters Just found these guys... pretty good.

The Mighty Might Bosstones

The Circle Jerks

Descendents

Black Flag

Minor Threat

Milk: The Knife Song

The Mr T Experience

Naked Raygun

Pegboy (the Strong Reaction cd)

Screeching Weasel

Seam

Sludgeworth

Good stuff... I can't believe I forgot Suicidal Tendencies, Sex Pistols and the Smithereens.

Swimpy, Apples in Stereo and Stereophonics are pretty good... nice choices. The stereophonics website is pretty cool too.

REVIEW

This is a great debut from one of LA's classic psychedelic-experimental bands. Mehcanical World and Fresh-Garbage appear to be the standouts to these ears. Both of these songs have those nasty, snaking fuzz guitar solos that Randy California enjoyed playing. Uncle Jack, sounds like a British psychedelic number while the other songs are not to far behind in terms of quality. California's guitar playing is excellent!
The rest of the band performs tightly as well. Spirit is one of those lost bands from the 1960's that deserve much more credit and praise today. They were always trying something new, diving off in all kinds of genre exercises. Spirit was always ahead of their time and will be fondly remembered. Also recommended are The 12 Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus and The Family That Plays Together As Spirit (Both are classics of the era!!!!!!!).
