Err no. You answered it all in the same sentence. Many great albums get lost in the dense fog of history but they were big at that particular time. Gorillaz have just released d-sides after they have split and they are still selling ecords.

Vashti Bunyan, seriously Just Another Diamond Day is one of the greatest folk albums of the 70s and one of the greatest British folk albums ever and she's never received much attention. She's recently released an album in 05 and a compilation this year as well as an EP with Animal Collective and she's worked with other artists like Devendra Banhart and so on but it still hasn't amounted to much.

Not entirely overlooked: Travis. If 'Invisable Band' had'nt been so bad, they would have done better. Coldplay's 'Parachutes' was a better album released the same year. But 'The Man Who' is better than the bulk of Coldplay's output to date.

The search for: "A kinder, gentler, Radiohead" (RS) continues...

Grant Lee Buffalo...

especially their first three albums (they attempted to appease WB when they bought out their label with their fourth album & they got canned anyway).

Circulus

also Therapy? and Bill ****ens, also Neuroticfish they did the soundtrack to that film, er it was kind of like the matrix but it was after the third world war the human race got rid of all emotions and there were some pretty cool fight scenes in it too with that gun Kata stuff. So if you know what film I'm talking about....yeah them.
