So that's the numerically named bands out of the way. One thing that's interesting to me is that had you played me each of these before I started the blog, even had I recognised the songs you were playing, I think I'd have been able to identify only 4 Non Blondes and 50 Foot Wave out of the fourteen (and 50 Foot Wave were the only band by whom I actually had a full album, rather than a few songs from a compilation).
There's nothing here that I hate so far, which is nice, and that's despite prog-rock - a genre I have no love for - rearing its head in the shape of 5uu's. I thought they were pretty good though, although not good enough for me to re-evaluate my feelings on prog, admittedly.
On the positive side, I liked 17 Pygmies and 3D Picnic enough to buy an album by each and I'll probably pick up some sort of best-of 10CC at some point. It would be great if I can keep up that sort of strike rate throughout the alphabet (although my wallet might disagree).
On we go to A...
