    • Airship!

      Their early singles were top, and they were great fun live. No idea what happened to them though?

    • Mumm-Ra's album really was fantastic.

  • Desaparecidos (But seems they'll do another...)

    But the correct answer to this thread is...

    Sluts of Trust

    Incredible album. Where did they go?

    Engerica isn't a bad shout, but re-listened to that album the other week, and....it doesn't age terribly well! (I prefered the band formed of their ashes BADDIES to be honest)

  • Cats In Paris

    Grammatics (though they did that KRUPT EP after I guess)

    • I liked that Cats in Paris album.

      But then I saw them live, and it put me off a bit.

    Surprised no one's mentioned this yet, they used tobe talked about all over these boards a few years ago.

  • The Golden Virgins

    Can't believe I forgot about them for this long, Songs of Praise is an amazing break up album.

  • Deconstruction

    Eric Avery and Dave Navarro made an album after Jane's Addiction fell apart, I think it's out of print now but it still sounds class (most of Avery's work does). this was before Dave Navarro became a waxwork and Perry Farrell took a flying glittery shit on the band's reputation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVADCalHJpo
