Those "Just Say [fill in the blank" label samplers that Sire Records released in the late 80s/early 90s were good compilations. They introduced me to a few bands.

Stone Roses, most ignored in US Brit band ever
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:11am

I was so mad that they played out at Coachella and never came around here.
Avatar 1:15am
BadGuyZero:

One of my fave bands when I was in high school was The Godfathers. I flew up to Chicago in 2009 to see their first U.S. show in almost twenty years. It was the first time I'd seen them since they were support on Love & Rockets 1989 U.S. tour.
  1:16am
KP:

The bourgeois prob flew them in for a one off
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16am
Īke:

Stone Roses were not that ignored where I was. A lot of the hype leaked across from the UK, and the other alt fans in my school were into them.
  1:16am
KP:

But over there, parades, tv, posters in stores
  1:17am
JakeGould:

@Meghan: !!! This is pretty much my end of college, working around Gramercy Park playlist of 1991 or so.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:17am
Meghan:

I hadn't seen J&M Chain until this past month. It was one of those- I'll see them next time....
  1:18am
JakeGould:

@Īke: Well, compared to Oasis and Blur the Stone Roses and pretty much the rest of the bands that Meghan is playing didn’t hit the radar of most Americans.
  1:18am
JakeGould:

@Meghan: Never saw Jesus and Mary Chain live but did see My Bloody Valentine live at their peak so… Got my fill of feedback…
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19am
Meghan:

Oh I could go deep in this area. I had people from the UK convinced I was from the UK. They had no clue how I knew of half of these bands
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19am
Meghan:

Me too Jake..... did Pale Saints open for them?
  1:19am
KP:

If you are familiar with the Blog that Celebrates Itself, the latest one is Ride.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20am
Meghan:

oh wait, that was Ride that Pale Saints opened for...... Buffalo Tom opened for MBV
  1:20am
JakeGould:

@Meghan: Nope. This was the somewhat famous show at the Ritz during CMJ in 1992 I think with Superchunk, Pavement and My Blood Valentine.
  1:21am

Hey!

Fun show tonight! The theme is "Filling in for Mary"? Been dancing around in the kitchen. Hope the neighbors have been watching.

@JakeGould: That's the show that Jon Wurster and Tom Scharpling met each other at.
  1:25am
JakeGould:

• 1991-03-21 - Ride - The Marquee
• 1991-04-29 - Lush & Smashing Orange - The Marquee
• 1991-11-23 - The Pixies & Pere Ubu - The Ritz
• 1992-03-27 - Lush & Poster Children - The Ritz
• 1992-06-19 - My Bloody Valentine, Superchunk & Pavement - The Ritz
• 1992-06-20 - Ride - The Academy

Ugh, I never got to see Lush, I kick myself for that..... Love that the Cavedogs opened for Charlatans! I saw the Charlatans at Irving Plaza

Up next after the Del Feguoes will be the Bodeans and then following that will be Charlie Sexton

Seems like the Stone Roses only really toured the U.S. in the mid 1990s? www.songkick.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30am
Meghan:

Oh I could have totally thrown in some Bodeans!
  1:30am
JakeGould:

@Meghan: Yeah, Lush live was amazing in those early days. I know they are playing 2 dates in the U.K. but if they come to the U.S., then jump on that.

JakeGould:

Full confession: I can’t even begin to state how much that “MBV” album disappointed me. To me it’s just “Loveless” and “Isn't Anything” and that’s it. “Soft as Snow But Warm Inside” is great!

Supersuckers used to do a show on Halloween as Thin Lizzy Seance. Lots of Phil Lynott zombie jokes.

One year they opened for The Fastbacks, who had decided to be Supersuckers for Halloween and started their set with a few covers of 'suckers songs.

It's a crap shoot.... some bands are great and some not so much...... I was blown away by a Bowie cover band that could've gone either way......

BadGuyZero:

Dallas has way too many cover/tribute bands. I know other cities have their fair share. But I'm pretty sure Dallas has the most per capita.
  2:38am
JakeGould:

@Meghan: Bringing this to Mary’s show… When she does “Three of a Kind” she sometimes takes suggestions and is pretty clear when the cover songs she finds just stink. Some bands are just a tad… Deluded? But rediscovered Ministry’s cover of “Gimme Shelter” a day or so back… WOW! Great cover.
  2:39am
JakeGould:

@BadGuyZero: Back in the early to mid-ish 1990s there were still TONS of classic rock cover bands playing at bars on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Now it’s just bars and dude-bro drunk food places. I miss those cover bands.

Were Violent Femmes or The Psychedelic Furs part of your high school experience, Meghan? just curious.

@Ken: Kinda scary how many people I meet might not be into alternative music or anything past mainstream but they ALL know “Blister in the Sun.”

of course! Loved Dumb Waiters..... such a great song. And you could never go wrong with Gone Daddy Gone. I totally have a thing for xylophones....
