For those who've never heard Pylon, check it:

I suspect some folks around here might dig 'em. Legendary Athens, GA band for sure.

I rock Pylon's first LP. found it used a decade or so ago Good stuff

never fond anything else. Think the above was finally re-released on CD

evollove · 04.17.2014, 01:16 PM

And we've all heard R.E.M.'s cover of Pylon's "Crazy," haven't we?

In my particular corner of West London, Freddie grew up. Brian May and Roger Taylor also went to Longford school down the road.

This was the "star" they attempted to make for him in the town centre, but as you can see it didnt turn out that well

Is that a Zoroastrian symbol? Mercury was raised Zoroastrian

^ Man, that's impressive.

O'Jays
Macy Gray
Marilyn Manson
Reliant K
Boz Scaggs (!!!! I didn't know thus until I looked it up. I guess everyone's ashamed.)

What a sad list.

I'll widen the circle about 15 minutes:

Chrissy Hynde
Black Keys
Pere Ubu
Devo

That's better.

If we're spreading out a bit im claiming Bowie too
only 15 mins from here but different borough

demonrail666 · 04.18.2014, 04:02 AM

Not so much city-wide but local to where I was born are Iron Maiden, The Small Faces and, erm, Vera Lynn.

Yeah, those fuckers are from South Gate nearby where I grew up BUT I didn't think they were necessarily our greatest contributions.. I do dig em though
