I'd imagine it all depends on taste, but surely Roxy Music should be included in there, no?

Kid Congo Powers must be included, so I guess the Gun Club, the Cramps and the Bad Seeds all have a chance...

In all seriousness, how can we forget The Who?

No one has mentioned the Village People!

Psychocandy era Mary Chain

Gets my vote! Except for the bit where they nicked their look wholesale from the Velvets circa 66. But they had Bobby G's leather trousers ... oh, but that's up against Sterling Morrison's black turtleneck and John Cale's leather jacket. Oh, the decisions, it's all too much.

martin i sort of did mention the village people, they had a cop right?

All the N.Y. "art" bands, from musique concrete to No Wave to (early and recent) Sonic Youth. Can't get much cooler.

― Ally, Sunday, 7 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hahaha, I don't know why the Manics are so big, I shrank that picture too. I'm a little tired today. The two together, I didn't realize this, but now all I'm thinking is, "The girls they love to see you SHOOT - I love a man in a uniform, I love a man in a uniform..."

I wish more bands would dress up like UPS men, that'd be great.

― Ally, Sunday, 7 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nice one, Ally, esp. that second one.
