Young Marble Giants

I think, considering the wealth and diversity of musical taste and knowledge on this site, the lack of a Young Marble Giants thread is quite bewildering.

YMG created a sound unlike anything else at the time, minimal to the extreme at times, employing just a bass, ryhtmn guitar and electric organ over a simple drum machine to compliment the sweet, naive voice of Allison Statton. I think they are one of the best, most innovative post-punk bands to emerge from the UK.

I'd strongly recommend Colossal Youth to anybody who hasnt become acquainted with them yet, its an exceptional album and one any true music fan should own
