@Filthy it was the vocals that make them stand out for me, but I can absolutely see they are an acquired taste.

Solstice are a British doom institution! first lp released in 1994 and they are still going. Do you know the bands Warning and 4o Watt sun? they have a similar feel. Patrick Walker (the vocalist in both bands) has a great voice, but you might find it a bit too nasally

The only Warning I have heard is an anarcho-punk thrash band who changed their name to Final Warning not heard 40w either.

@Stuart.T I will definitely give all the bands a listen tonight and even look up Dead Quiet again for some studio tracks.

This is my favorite cover of this song,and something you might not expect from Rush.

[url=https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7519]@Filthy Mike, this is the UK band Warning…

This is 40 Watt Sun...

Thank you. Listen to that Final Warning song. It's pretty rocking. The voice over is kind of lame but the song has some crazy bass!

Have to admit I was definitely surprised to see you post this. Saw them a lot early on, but they had lost me by the mid 70s.

If it is good music, I like it. I'm pretty sure I am reincarnated from a dead hippie. I have strange deja vu all the time when I listen to old music.

Huge guilty pleasure of mine is synthpop. This is particularly great.

@emceeQ:

A little all over the place this morning…
Mono's new record is my favorite by them in quite a while...

I love Mono, although, I haven't heard their last 3 or 4 albums. I saw them live back in 2007 or thereabouts. The last album I picked up of theirs was the Under The Pipal Tree reissue on green vinyl. An absolutely classic

The Dead are my absolute all-time favorite, @Filthy Love a good China > Rider

There's a group of friends who kind of randomly formed a tribute band (Joe Russo's Almost Dead–it was originally supposed to be a one-night thing and they've played well over 100 shows since) that's dynamite. I think they're the best live Dead thing going, including Dead & Co. (or "Dead & Slow"), and I don't say that lightly, as someone who reveres the original members. You might recognize their bassist, Dave Dreiwitz of Ween. They also mix in occasional Neil Young, Radiohead (the drummer's favorite band) and other music, and have at least one original tune.

Here's an example China > Rider from Joe Russo's Almost Dead. This one has John Mayer sitting in because I couldn't find one with good video and audio quality with just the band:
