Artists you don't listen to anymore but reckon you should.

I'm making this thread because I saw it was 21 years since Asian Dub Foundation released Rafi's Revenge and thought 'i've not listened to them in years'. I bought Community Music when I was about 12 and didn't understand what it was going on about (figuratively), but knew it was great. Then I thought about other bands from that era I'd not heard in ages.

Skunk Anansie (have them on right now)
The Eels (beautiful Freak is ace)
Death in Vegas

[Sebastian Cobb]

Cardigans
Mark B and Blade

[ToneLa]

Got absolutely sick of Arcade Fire but I should probably learn to like them again

Even if it feels their lyrics could be summarised by the phrase 'come on, kids!'

Been massively binging Aphex Twin, who I ignored for years and years despite being proper obsessed about fifteen years ago

I never really got Eels at all. The odd nice track but it just never really went anywhere for me. One of those things we're I'm definitely in the minority though, I know loads of people who adore them so maybe it's just me.

I haven't listened to Leonard Cohen for ages, I had a two year binge in my mid-20s and I think I ruined him for myself.

Thin White Rope, now I think about it. Must rectify that soon.

[Absorb the anus burn]

Klaus Schulze.

I used to play him all of the time and now he hardly gets a spin...... Why? I know not.

I never really got Eels at all.

Took me a while but, once I got it, I REALLY got it.

I'm long overdue a Blur binge. They're one of my favourite bands but I probably haven't listened to them in-depth since the harrowing disappointment of Think Tank. I want to buy that Blur 21 boxset with all the deluxe 2CD albums, rarities and DVDs in. Maybe when I get a nice slab of money.

I was thinking Blur but then I remembered playing The Magic Whip a couple of weeks ago so I thought it shouldn't count. Talking of that album, I think it's probably their best after Parklife. Can't think of many bands who've had a comeback album as good as that, if any at all.

I was so far out of a Blur mood when it came out that I listened to it about ten times and got rid of it, but I think I'd probably appreciate it a lot more these days (as I would Damon's solo record). They're definitely on a list of artists who I really need to revisit soon.

I thought it was a gem from the first listen But then again I was just really happy to have new material. I think I like it more now than I did then though, so it must be alright.
I think the only thing Damon Albarn has done that I've absolutely fucking hated was his solo album, I just thought it was so slow and tedious that it was almost a pisstake. I listened to it about 6 times and never bothered again, I've tried to put it on a few times since and I just can't face it!

Cardigans

I got a couple of the recent reissues and they're fucking dreadful. I loved them back in the day and thought Life was such a good record. As it is, I have no desire to ever hear it again. Even Carnival sounded a bit shit, although I did hear it almost every Saturday night for several years.

I listened to some Sonic Youth that wasn't Daydream Nation for the first time in about 20 years today. It was good!
