Cure - Close To Me

Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me

The band obviously wanted someone who wasn't as well hung... ?

The Who - You Better You Bet

Smiths - Ask

NIN usually has a formula for taking a song then adding about 12 additional guitars to it... ?

Ok, that made me go and listen to the song on YouBoob, and that has now made me want to go listen to more Lemonheads! Although I do have one album from them (Come On Feel), for some reason I apparently just haven't gotten around to listening to them! Love finding new old music. ?

Every time I watch the DVD's I had (might still have actually!) of a couple of his concerts, I'm always struck by the thought that, if he wanted to, he could have easily been a cult leader. He just has the look and charisma. See him bounce around in that big, clear ball though is hilarious! ?

You have a bass with body order? I see...

Anyone doing some? I certainly haven't seen it happening...

Ha! LMAO. We were posting at the same time about the same thought. Love it! ?

@Vernon Barnes Big Big Train?

Double points! ? B-52's - Bushfire

My comment was in general, not regarding the bands you posted about specifically.

There are a lot of bands that have changed singers, but were they successful afterwards?

Loved them both, but I must admit that (as with others) I kind of treated them as different bands.

But, but... Isn't a double negative actually a positive??! ? ?

Wow, didn't know he had family and friends! ? ?

Also Deep Purple, Alice In Chains, Fleetwood Mac...

Elton John - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting (Off of my favorite album for a time when I was young. ? )

Cheap Trick (although it doesn't sound like them!) - Saturday At Midnight

I'll let others chime in on the others, though I'm expecting to see things like AC/DC, Genesis, Iron Maiden, etc.! ? (Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Journey, Black Sabbath... ?)

Although I can think of several, I'll start with these! Marillion: From Derek William D ick (a.k.a., Fish) to Steve Hogarth.

That gives me an idea for a new thread!

Well, the man knows when cowbell needs to be added!
