I'd let the Kinks fall by the wayside and then suddenly remembered "Waterloo Sunset" and binged out. Man, what a frickin' genius...some of the music is dated, some not but his genius is enduring - oh yeah...and Moby Grape's first album was a re-revelation as well.

What was the name of that beautiful Magazine instrumental with the pronounced bass line and a saxophone? I've been humming that for weeks.

Oh, yes, the Kinks! I never forgot them, but there was a long stretch when I didn't listen to 'em much.

What can I say? I temporarily worship at the altar of Ray Davies' sensibilities. And his older proto-punk stuff is just as sublime now as it was in 1965.

Hey, I used to dig Trower. :-) Camel I listen to not infrequently even nowadays.

S_A_P: Didn't read the thread explanation, did we? ;-) *nudge*

There was a time I listened to raw-ther a lot of Blue Oyster Cult. Can't recall the last time I rocked out to Godzilla, or Golden Age of Leather, or Tattoo Vampire...

"The Thin Air" from Secondhand Daylight. Great track, and my favorite Magazine LP.

Moev, House of Love, Tears for Fears' "The Hurting" LP and The The (though not as forgotten as the other three).

Richard Harris doing MacArthur Park.
Crazy song, crazy singing,Jimmy Webb's quirky music, great stuff.
I did leave the cake out in the rain one night and I'll never get it back again.

Best artist/group you'd forgotten about and wish you hadn't?
