You can see the list here. As usual some picks are good, some bad. I had to add one of my favorites – The Godfathers:
Before their incarnation as The Godfathers they went by the name The Sid Presley Experience, which lasted from 1983 to 1985. They were signed to Epic Records in 1987. Their guitar-driven alternative rock sound was somewhat out of place in the electronica-driven music scene of the UK at the time. In particular their most famous song the storming rocker ‘Birth, School, Work, Death’ failed to make the charts in the late eighties, despite standing the test of time much better than other music from this era. Its raw lyrics though probably did not endear it to the elderly, middle of the road DJs then dominating Radio 1, then the main youth pop station in the UK.
