Hands down its Primal Scream. Followed by Simple Minds and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

But there are f£@kin' dozens of brilliant bands out there that don't get the breaks. They write and perform some of the best music that you'll hear but you do t hear it because they're not famous or had the breaks.

Spot on. There was a local band to me about twenty years ago called baby chaos who were brilliant. They were signed but didn't make it too big. Think they're trying a comeback now though.
