The Mighty Boosh! Surrealist comedy at its finest, brimming with the English aesthetic. Such a shame that Noel threw away his credibility by indulging his celebrity status instead of his creative genius. Also worth noting that Madness went on to make some excellent "serious" albums after their chart success ( Noel take note – although Suggs also eventually went on to rest on his celebrity laurels).
One group that's rarely EVER talked about is the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. With a combination and a wealth of prog & theatrical rock/rock n roll/old standards and various well known covers in their catalog, it's a mystery to me why this band is so misunderstood and ignored by so many.
Tuned in, scanned the red bar, saw Mr. Bungle…stayed for the rest. Mike Patton is a true musical genius. Well done, Andy!
Paul Simon is really our American Paul McCartney, with arguably a longer career at the very top of popular music. IDK why his cultural profile isn’t higher, here in the US.
The Police ❤
Ten artists Andy doesn't talk about but I love: Chicago, Saga, Anthony Phillips, Black Mages, Flower Kings, Tony Macalpine, Tower of Power, Chase, Oblivion Sun
Andy your always talking about being a rocker at heart but I've never heard you say anything about the greatest rock and roll band in the world…….Foghat! What the hell man?
Madness are Geniuses! Love your top 3 …
What is your opinion of New Order?
Faith No More. YES. Mike Patton is one strange, brilliant creature.
Another great video Andy. Yes, Madness! Proper British music
Love the Police! They're right up there as one of the greatest groups in music history.
I thought they were on your Most Over Rated list.
You should have a listen to The Liberty Of Norton Folgate Madness. If you haven't already
And just think Madness only had 1 number one..
Thank you Andy for this video; quite a few bands/musicians to check out.
Also, thank you for mentioning Cozy Powell RIP and Neil Murray; two great underrated musicians.
Hi Andy, new to the channel but loving it already! Have you done any segments on Kansas? What are your thoughts on that group?
Another very entertaining video. Thanks. I want to talk about three of the artists you mentioned: Brian Eno, the Police & Madness.
First Eno. I’m a retiree and a musician but not a very good one. I always liked the concept of Eno making it as a musician without being a musician. I recall reading a quote by him saying “embrace your weaknesses” and I have a lot of those. At the end of 2022 beginning of 2023, my wife and I went on a long holiday. On a cheap DAW I recorded a chromatic scale and some digital drum samples so I could make noise while I was gone whenever I was in the mood to do so. I was doing laundry in Osaka and while waiting for the cycle to end I was copying and pasting tones in my DAW, adding compression, reverb, delay, reversing the tones and adding more reverb and delay. I came up with something that could be loosely classified as music. I titled the finished product “Ripping Off Brian Eno” I played it for my brother in law when I got home. He seemed to like it.
Rick Beato interviewed the members of the police about a year ago. Copeland talked about running his drum mics through guitar effects and I found that fascinating. Since I had percussion samples on my laptop I had to run those through the effects I had on my DAW when we were on holiday last summer. The police were very innovative and fun to listen to.
Finally Madness. I saw Birmingham’s Beat perform at the US Festival in San Bernardino in 1983 just before the broke up. They blew me away. I bought all their albums and started devouring anything Two Tone, Madness included. I later saw them Open for the Police at the Oakland Coliseum. The One Step Beyond album was glued to my turntable for a solid six months after I bought it.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading my ramble.
I was hoping to see Captain Beefheart!
Brian Eno's first five solo albums are all incredible!
Wasn't Mr Bungle spawned by Rainbow? many bongs were smoked to Mr Bungle back in the day.. also I love The Cardiacs! RIP Tim!
I did not know Level 42's Hot Water and it is indeed quite the groove.
Awesome man
i love " I am the black gold of the sun" Nautilus is Bob James
Completely agree about Brian Eno. He did at least 3 really interesting “normal” albums in the 70s (I’m not so keen on Tiger Mountain), and if there’s any better ambient music floating around in the ether then I haven’t heard it. Then there’s the 2 and a half brilliant “Berlin” albums with Bowie, before the definitive albums he co-produced for Talking Heads and U2 – to my ears both largely second rate outfits except when Eno was involved. All in all, he’s a national treasure.
Whitesnake on the other hand were always pretty lousy. The Paice, Lord, Murray era produced a few decent songs but generally wasted some highly talented players on a lot of very mediocre music. Lord’s most memorable contribution was his later observation that Coverdale’s stage act was largely him doing “this come on to a crowd mostly made up of teenage boys”. Yuk!!
Roll forward to the era of big sales in the US – fair play to David for all his success, but with their huge sprayed hairdos and horrible ripped jeans, they just looked utterly ludicrous. The music was all hackneyed, over-processed stuff that had been done much better a thousand times before, with endless repetitions of the same tired lyrics about drifters, hard-lovin’ men, rockin’ all night – all thoroughly dreadful stuff that made it obvious that hard rock was by then just a series of cliches with no originality or danger – culturally a completely spent force.
No XTC ????????
Nice mentioning Brian Eno! My favorite Eno album is the second one he did with Robert Fripp: Evening Star. There's some fantastic moments of light and dark on that album, Fripp and Eno worked very well together.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme!!!!!
I saw Justin Timberlake at Stax music awards in Memphis a few years ago along with Keith Richards of the Stones and many other greats. They were honoring Booker T and the MGs, Otis Redding, and other greats from Memphis
To say that Justin Timberlake (who is also from Memphis) is extremely talented is an understatement….an extreme understatement. I’m an old jazz guy along with 70s rock but he has that Memphis mojo going on for sure. It’s been an honor to be from the same area as so many greats whether it’s Sun music or Stax.
Glad he made the list. He more than deserves it
Mr. Bungle, fantastic! And though only mentioned, Fishbone is a great band. Absolutely love them.
For me Bowie has always been the penultimate artist musician performer songwriter on my radar since I was 12. Second row seats center Montreal serious moonlight tour he dedicated Young Americans to me 🙂
I have a funny story about the band the police but I'm not going to tell you it's too long, had to do with my first Christmas. I've always absolutely adored madness but you know I was around when they came out I just never gravitated towards them enough to get into their entire catalog but I like your exuberance even though I find the goofball side of you that comes out leads me to question your credibility in ways that I would consider completely invalid 🙂
Somewhat seriously I will tell you I personally believe that THE WARNING are the finest the band on the planet today and they kicked the police's ass. I always hated the police's pettiness and stings ego. I've seen him interviewed lately and he's much better and pretty likeable but back in the day I couldn't stand him. Oh I definitely liked a few songs like walking on the moon and Roxanne but kill me if I ever have to hear every breath you fake ever again.
I brought up Bowie because my entire life the Hammersmith retirement gig has been the watermark for me the absolute favorite concerts that I was never at lol but I love the energy of that show..
The Warning is the only band that has equaled my feelings. I only learned of them this year. They're phenomenal. Special.
Watch the lunario show when they are 17, 15 and 13 years old and they performed their back-to-back concept album is the queen of the murder scene which was their second album as teens they wrote it and it kicks just about every other concept album on Earth in the ass truly hard.
Unreal
Very much hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

You're a great guy man I'm enjoying your videos tremendously.
For a guy who really likes hard musicians and great musicianship you really do seem to have a thing for fluffy pop as well. I'm quite aligned with your tastes and I'm not surprised by anything you put on this list except for the fact that they're on this list and there aren't ten other bands that you consider more Worthy.
glad you mentioned Whitesnake. No ever talks about them, ever. and a great band in their day.
