I might be the only fan of The Buckinghams here. Which is funny if true, 'cause they were actually really popular at one time, whereas in the past whenever I've mentioned being the only fan here of someone obscure - say, Norma Tanega, or The Medical Mission Sisters - someone has always come along to contradict me! It'll probably happen this time, too.

The only member of Fly Ashtray, I think you mean.

They don't have any fans.


Ahem.
Sort of. (see abov

I've been thinking about this, and apart from people from the 1930s or 1940s like Mildred Bailey, Jo Stafford, the Ravens or the Four I can't come up with anyone I know someone else on the board at least tolerates. Copehead likes the Libertines, otherwise I'd try Babtyshambles. All the weird noises stuff I like from the ninties and later I was introduced to by Driftin and Fish on the Refuge
How about King Missile Mark III, Selfish Cunt, When People Were Shorter And Lived Near the Water?


I like The Libertines, but I wouldn't call myself a fan.

I may be the only fan of the Manics on here as opposed to someone who likes them.

Also The Shop Assistants, they may be one of my favourite bands of all time, I imagine I am alone in feeling that strongly about them, they themselves may not feel that strongly about the band.

That brings to mind Bis as well, I absolutely love them, Social dancing is one of my all time favourite albums.

Is Carlsson not a fan? I'm not I must admit and I like most Gentle Giant.


Nah! Don't think so!
I'm sure he was there though!

I worry this is a joke but I think they're great. The first album is one of my most played records in part because my children like it too.

Paavoharju? They're great

I bang on about how good Yhä hämärää is about once a fortnight on here. Anything from Fonal Records is normally quite reliable, Kemialliset Ystävät, Islaja, Es, Eleanoora Rosenholm, Tuusanuuskat, all good by me, though Paavoharju are the stand-outs.

Are you trying to be me? Clock DVA would be in my top 3 bands of all time, and Virgin Prunes not far behind. I love ASF, UK Decay, Dance Society, ITN, and SDC, too.

I'll take Artery, UK Decay, The Three Johns & March Violets.

Danse Society & Alien Sex Fiend had the odd decent track

I can name at least two Buckinghams fans - Mike Boom and me. I included Don't You Care on my latest mix club offering for him and he wrote about his love for Kind Of A Drag.
