I just don't know them. I can't know EVERYTHING now can I? I'm sure I could mention some bands that I know, and those guys would have no clue about them, and therefore I could give them this look as well ----> But anyway..... Ok, so I just looked them up, and they still don't ring a bell. But reading their bio, I came across this: "The follow-up album Another Mother Further lived up to its title. The opening track was a cover of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team's "Mickey's Monkey," made popular by Smokey Robinson. But the guitar riff was a blatant copy of Jimmy Page's from the Led Zeppelin song "Custard Pie," released two years earlier. Perhaps because the song was a cover, or the fact that they stole from blues legends early in their career, Led Zeppelin never sued and the track (along with others like "Piece of the Rock" and "Hard Rock Lover") helped make Another Mother Further the group's springboard." hehehe... Yeah, Zeppelin knew they couldn't even try to sue anyone for stealing their songs. But I still love 'em of course.

U forgot the family stand!
Their "chain" album had some radio friendly rock on it (ala Byran Adams type stuff which was quite cool like "the last temptation") but a track like "shades of blue" off their "moon in scorpio" album is rockin'! | |

of course you can't, no one can. I was just teasing chartwise they didn't have that big of an impact, but hey... the voice of Joyce Kennedy is defintely worth checking out Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

Public Enemy was nominated for a grammy for "Bring the Noize" ??? Well they were placed in the "rap music" catagory...when CLEARLY that song should have been placed in "heavy metal", since the music they rapped over was provided by Anthrax !! And if I mentioned someone that someone else posted....sorry | |
