Same topic as all the others this time for the letter E, once everyone has given a view I will add a poll for us all to vote on.

For my tuppence I will add Europe - unjustly percieved as a one track band "Final Countdown", the Europe back catalogue is extensive and they are one of the best 80's poodle permed bands around.

The Final Countdown



Yet in my view Cherekee was a much better song



with influences from the great Led Zeppelin

This series of threads look like being great fun.

Will you be doing an alphabetical appraisal of all male solo singers, then female?

Einstürzende Neubaten

Echo and the Bunnymen




and much latter after "Echo" had left.....

Echo and the bunnymen very good shout indeed.

The Eagles.....

Echo & The Bunnymen...living proof, at your fingertips. First five albums - all absolute classics; played Heaven Up Here in the car when driving up to Auckland the other week, still sounded brilliant.

The Bunnymen are the dogs doodahs

Eels
Editors
Elastica
Embrace
Elbow

and not forgetting the mighty Electric Light Orchestra



(It's a Birmingham thing )

Evanescence

Echo didn't last that long

ELP.

I'd probably vote for the Eagles, although these days I'd rather listen to Elbow.

Europe is a very underrated band. Disregard The Final Countdown and listen to some of there more recent albums (Last look at Eden & Secret Society). These albums prove they are great musicians.
I did see Europe live at Milton Keynes in 1990? and they were superb. They have my vote.

The Bunnymen are the dogs doodahs

Eels
Editors
Elastica
Embrace
Elbow

I assume you don't mean the original Embrace? They'd get my vote...

A short but sweet career but still the winners: Elastica

Honourable(ish) mentions - not the strongest of letters-

Editors
An Emotional fish (if they aren't an A )
Embrace (early stuff only)
Electronic

Cracking album but too many drug problems after that.

Saw them live about '95. Set only lasted about 40 mins but I was within sniffing distance of the lovely doe eyed Donna

You ought to read this book Murf for a bit more on Elastica :-



Concentrates mainly on Anderson, Butler,Frischmann,Albarn,the Gallaghers, Jarvis and...erm...Menswear. A good little read

Saw them at Rock City, Nottingham around 95 too. Brilliant and my eyes were on Annie. Something about a rock chick and a bass guitar.....

Saw them in Brum at either The Accademy/The Institute down in Digbeth not long after the release of their first album. It was a good night.

ELO for me

Is this the right letter for The Jimi Hendrix Experience ?

OLD ON WE'RE COMING

Eels for me
Echobelly

Oh man I hate the Eagles

They are an F going by their most commonly referred to name.


As in "Oh no, not the F***ing Eagles again"


(unless that is a T?)

A for Again?

More of an la scene hair metal fan in my younger days,

Happy Mondays not only began with E's, it almost ended them, along with a copious lines of coke and a heroin addiction.

If Achilles doesn't launch the F thread soon I'm gonna launch it myself

Might as well do G, H and , while you are at it

F,G and H will all be won by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. They won't have a chance of winning T though up against The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Alarm and Achiles rigging it for Tom Jones and Thatnicewelshgirlwiththevoiceofanangelwhogrewuptobeafoulmouthtartandmarriedthattwatofaneggchasernicetitsthough.
