Horslips Report Abuse
Horslips - ah yes - one of the the best things about growing up in Ireland during the 70s. Three suberb CDs - The TĂ¡in, Celtic Symphony - Book of Invasions, Aliens. Check 'em out - you won't be disappointed. Horslips should have been the best Irish band (followed by Thin Lizzy) - much, much better than 'Three Prats and a Drummer' (aka U2).

Fugazi Report Abuse
Pioneering punk-rock group from the late 80s and 90s, often imitated by other more famous bands. Patented the "soft-loud, jangly" sound with precise drum and guitar work. Helped inspire two entire genres of music, hardcore (aka "straight-edge") and "emo" (aka "emo-core"), terms that they didn't use. Highly independent and extremely political, refused to do business with corporate-owned media.

Wait, so MTV doesn't count as corporate-owned media? lol. Come on. They didn't refuse to do business with corporations, they turned down some major label offers because they were loyal. Sure, they never ripped-off their fans, praise them for that, don't make them out to be something their not.

Hardcore was around before Fugazi, Ian Mackaye was even in a hardcore band (Minor Threat) before he started Fugazi.

slapshock Report Abuse
they are the first Asian band that included in the desert rock festival in Dubai, along side with korn, muse, killswitch engage, and as i lay dying. meaning the caliber of slapshock are equal to those other band. even though the audience never heard band before. they're slamming and starting to fill the sounds as the band perform their songs.

This is one of those ghost bands. It later transitioned to ELO, but even the ELO fans are not aware of the existence of this band. Especially the first lineup (Wood, Kefford, Wayne, Beevan and Burton) is my favourite.
