What band/artist have you never really listened to - Even though you really should have?

There’s loads, but I’ll pick one example because one member has featured in a doc I’m watcthing.

Throbbing Gristle. 
 

They sound interesting and liked the odd bit I’ve heard, but never got  around to properly checking them out.

If you like a bit of a dance, this one's ideal!

Formed in Kingston upon Hull!

When Hull was City of Culture in 2017, there was an exhibition of TG's work, along with a performance and live Q&A featuring Cosey Fanni Tutti. A friend of mine was involved in the exhibition (which featured some early pornographic images amongst other exhibits) , and was hoping Prince Charles would drop by when visiting the city but it wasn't to be. Would have been an interesting meeting of minds. 😅

LOL...

IMO "Heathen Earth" is probably their most accessible to the first time-listener who isn't already into late 70s industrial music.

I've always wondered, when Paul Heaton called The Housemartins the Fourth Best Band In Hull, was he including Black Lace in the trio above himself?

Not the joyful ode, "Hamburger Lady"?

Don’t think the original BL had anyone from Hull, maybe later spin off versions? 

I believe the other 3 bands were reckoned to be Everything but the girl , Red Guitars and The Gargoyles. ( Of course could have also included Fine Young Cannibals and The Spiders from Mars.)
