You might be surprised to know Larry that every band I have ever asked about
on the net I have gotten a response to.(Including:Siouxsie/Banshees,
New Order, Hawkwind, Echo/Bunnymen, Joy Division etc.). I ask about these
bands because it's hard to find out any info on them from any US rock mags.
Just because you haven't heard of the bands doesn't mean that they don't
exist--or that others don't like them.

For your info Larry, I happen to own every Led Zep album BUT IV! I just don't
like the album that much--my favorite album by Zep is the first one.

I do stick to the people that make their living depressing people--
bands like the Cure, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil, Pink Floyd etc.
