Whoever said The Cure deserves a bitch slap.
As much as we talk about them on the org, someone still has the nerve to label them "obscure". 
I've got a few more: Ned's Atomic Dustbin The Pop Group (even though I talk about them a lot here) The Delta 5 Foster Sylvers Tones on Tail Sam Brothers 5 Japan The Pursuit of Happiness The Merton Parkas Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine Imagination Chubb Rock Killer Pussy Fairground Attraction NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

NWF said: Tones on Tail Really just a side project from Daniel Ash while he was in Bauhaus. His last solo album was I think back in 2002. The entire Tones On Tail output can of course be found on the excellent 'Everything' double CD. | |

Still, Astbury has always been a wannabe and Duffy is way over rated. OK, they aren't "obscure" per se, but they have really fallen off the map lately. | |

Whatever happened to Sly Fox I find it funny when people name dead musicians. I think it's obvious why we haven't heard from them in a long time. script edit [Edited 4/10/05 11:38am] | |

If you look back at a lot of the imagery of the Cult and a lot of what Astbury has said over the years, he has always SO wanted to be Jim Morrisson it's untrue. It seems that he has finally found his dream job
Still, I agree that The Cult definitely had some great tracks  and yes, their last one, Beyond Good and Evil (feat. ex-GNR/ current Velvet Revolver drummer Mat Sorum) was pretty good too. | |

JediMaster said: Christian Death
Rozz is dead, but I'm sure Valor is still releasing albums. Not that anyone cares. Alien Sex Fiend
I saw them live maybe six years ago. 25 years in the biz, it's about time they called it quits, but noooo, a new album was released last year and they are on tour in Europe this year. Anyone say Sisters of Mercy? I'm too lazy to scroll back down.
Andrew Eldritch is holding out for a recording contract that he thinks is worthy of the Sisters. Which means we'll never see another Sisters Of Mercy album. | |

Holy shit! I had no idea! About Rozz or Valor? Rozz committed suicide a few years back. I remember at the time it was worth a mention on MTV News--probably the closest Christian Death have ever come to being on MTV. I love those first two albums, 'Only Theater Of Pain' and 'Catastrophe Ballet'--the latter being one of the best goth albums of all time I think.
