How come you didnt hear them at the time? Both bands were massive.

I think this is where Spotify ime is great. I've got into loads of bands and artists by listening to the introduction play list they put at the bottom of each artists page.

Freaked me right out the first time I heard it via headphones + very very stoned.
I did hear them, just not their albums. I was big into metal in the 80s (probably the best decade for it) and was young and stupid and just had a narrow view of what I considered cool at that point. I was 30 before I even conceded I liked The Smiths!
Personally really liked Faith at the time. I can't believe it's that long ago. Primary is a great tune

Bunnymen wise - start with the first album - Crocodiles - by far their best. I was a big fan, saw their second ever London gig in a tiny venue, but really didn't get their later stuff. Cliche I know.
I got into the Fall late - circa 2006. I still haven't heard all of their output. Most of their earlier stuff though. Maybe 50% of their studio albums.

I have never, and will never concede that I liked the Smiths. I really didn't. Saw them once at a GLC free gig. Prick whining on, with a bunch of flowers hanging out of his arse? Fucks sake.
(The tunes were OK)
Yep I should branch out a bit more really. I've got an Apple music sub and it has a similar thing. i'm hoping to have a few friends round for a low key house warming soon so thinking about a playlist. They're not gonna want to listen to my usual go tos of metal or electronic synthy stuff. Well not for the whole night anyway...
Really? One of the best bands to come out of the North West. So original. Give them a proper listen. Genius in places.I have never, and will never concede that I liked the Smiths. I really didn't.

i discovered the stranglers with the 'feline' album which i bought in 1983 and went both back and forwards with their stuff for a bit.
if you're after early 80s post-punk sort of thing, the comsat angels might appeal. (or might not, i won't be offended) - they never quite managed to make it to the charts. i was put on to them by someone i was at school with then.
after the rain and high tide might be good starting points. independence day was the nearest they got to a hit (it got in to the top 75 but only just)

For me in similar circs and bit of a cliche I know was Time by Pink Flloyd. I thought it was the fire alarm. Bastards.
Forget Morrissey and imagine it's all written by Chris Morris.I have never, and will never concede that I liked the Smiths. I really didn't. Saw them once at a GLC free gig. Prick whining on, with a bunch of flowers hanging out of his arse? Fucks sake.

Love this track!

On a "neo soul" trip and listening to Angie Stone, India Arie, Bilal, Omar, D'Angelo, Lynden David Hall.
Also Mogwai. We had the album from that French series some years back but recently got a couple of earlier releases and impressed by them.

Their best is the most obvious about the smack though.

First album and the 'hits'. As I recall the other LPs didn't have much to offer bar the bigger singles. Cutter, Seven Seas, Killing Moon, Bring on the dancing horses. . I do like the hits, though I am generally keen on a lot of 80s pop.

Also Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington and Count John McCormack. All spellbinding in their own particular way. Had listened to them before over the years but not intensely.
Never heard of any of these. Have heard of Mogwai though.

I liked them in the 80s. Never much explored the earlier stuff until the 2000s.
I think to a large extent anything I listened to in the 80s holds a special place in my heart and though I think the early stuff is good, I'm not mad about it.
Get's pretty patchy in the 90s and beyond.
I always found Mogwai to be the poor man's Boards of Canada. They're good though.

BoC are mind-blowing. Mogwai are more droney, noisy, soft then loud in a good way. They remind a bit of God Is an Astronaut.

Would always say that the "old timey" tunes and smiths are worth checking out. But not everyone would be into it. Like listening to artists that influence others. Recently because love Hank Williams, got into Jimmie Rodgers (the father of country, according to some). JR was not just a fine country singer, he was also influenced by the blues and you can really hear it on some of those tracks. The yodelling came from black railway workers, apparently, and not the Swiss or Austrians!
