@Rups , aye another great song. The piano really binds the song together. I’m hooked after the first couple of bars. 🙂 ---

You do realise Dave Grohl and Animal went stick to stick to stick in a drum battle. It even made the news. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3AZz9TSjZCM/maxresdefault.jpg "Dave Grohl and Animal Drum Battle - The Muppets") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AZz9TSjZCM) ---

@Susie1 , yep, can’t beat some Genesis. If you like a non-Peter Gabriel Genesis song, try Trick of the tale. Very melodic. 🙂 ---

@Rups , ahh, The Rutles. A great band with Eric Idle (shame he couldn’t play the bass then). My dad loved them. Saw the film and bought the vynil album. Good times. 😀😀😀 ---

@Jbob , the “influencer” generation will not get it. Probably because they didn’t think of it first. Love Kraftwerk btw. Bought a lot of their CDs. 🙂😀😃 ---

@ManjiB , good song. I saw their vidro on classic TOTP. I’m sure Paul Young was in the video. Either that or I imagined it. 🙂🤔 ---

You’re right JohnnyBoy - Paul Young did the vocals on this song by the Streetband. He is in this video. ---

I am guessing he must be very underrated as he has never been on my radar. I’ll have to check him out on YouTube and certainly would like to join you in wishing him well as he recovers from stroke. Perhaps you’d like to share one of your favourite songs by him 🙂 > 🙏 ---

There’s an interview with Michael Kiwanuka in today’s Guardian. Most here will have an understanding of the scale of the challenge ahead of him. He evidently loves his life in music and I hope he can return to it one day. > **[‘Everyone can relate to pain and struggle.

That’s a good article, i feel the way he is able to speak about his music is very encouraging and what he says about crying is spot on. I started listening to MK via Radio 6, my go to station, so have followed him for quite a while x [Previous page](https://onlinecommunity.stroke.org.uk/t/underrated-bands-or-songs/47401.md?page=3) [Next page](https://onlinecommunity.stroke.org.uk/t/underrated-bands-or-songs/47401.md?page=5)
