.... and yes.

Robert Gordon was backed by legendary guitar players like Link Wray, Danny Gatton, and I think Chris Spedding too.

Looking back on it, a lot of the 80's alternative bands from America feel underrated - to me they generally feel less out of date than their British counterparts (although this may have been because they became more popular during the 90s, a decade after the British indie scene).

I've never understood why people get excited about the Violent Femmes.

I don't think ELO is exactly underrated but I do think they've been unfairly maligned over the years.

I believe it. The first album sounds like a test run for Hallowed Ground.

That's why Jason and the NASHVILLE Scorchers were only really legit on their first two EPs. After that Jeff Ringenberg kicked out whats-his-name who actually was about country and they became a lamer version of themselves.
