How many other independent bands were getting appearances on prime time TV and radio in 1979. I'll give you a clue , the answer is zero.
If they don't deserve a place in a hall of fame for being trailblazers of what was then a virtually non existent independent scene in the UK and making it a vibrant creative culture with a worldwide audience then who does?

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
