The Cure, yes, lads from Crawley. The main guy has been very savvy with his money and investments, they are really big in France.

We could have a sub-topic, 'Bands forgotten at home - still celebrated abroad', there would be many!
Flip-side: 'Bands still celebrated at home - still never heard of abroad'

It Takes a Thief theme (first and second seasons)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o7JV1crjmgProbably my favourite television theme. It was composed by Dave Grusin, whose other credits include the theme for
St. Elsewhere and contributions to the soundtracks of films including
The Graduate.
It Takes a Thief ran for three seasons on the ABC television network between 1968 and 1970 and was one of the last series in the '60s spy/secret agent genre. Robert Wagner (making his TV debut) starred as Alexander Mundy, an upscale thief working for the US government in exchange for his release from prison. Fred Astaire appeared in a few episodes as Al's father.

A very HQ 'studio/live' video, given how old it is.

Two 'acts' I like and respect, both great live, and IMO epic together...

Something different to successions of thrash bands…
Alcest (whom you have probably never heard of) a French guy
https://youtu.be/85c-P9hbmBg in the same vein as M83 who provide the music for Canal+'s series Versailles.
… and Slowdives 'When the Sun hits' mixed with scenes from Picnic at Hanging Rock

And Germany, and America and all other European and Asian nations judging by the crowds in Hyde Park on Saturday… Magic gig sidelined the footie for most attendees. Editors set drew the short straw on stage when the match took place. Still had a crowd of 20000+

When was the last time you heard a song about cannibalism?
Try Silver Spoon from Sunfighter, one of my all-time-favourite albums (1971).
Grace Slick at her very best, Paul Kantner, Papa John Creach, Jack Casady and others.

"Mr. Moto," the Belairs (1961)

"I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight," Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (1967)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfnlBXLHd08A very well crafted song from a duo who knew a thing or two about coming up with pop hits. It's a shame to think that this song only went to #8 in the charts when crap like "Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)" and "Green Tambourine" was hitting #1 in the Hot 100.
"All right, Bobby, let's go!"

Late 70s punk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J11IpgVG2IThe Damned - Melody Lee
The line was punk musicians 'couldn't play their instruments'. Well, this disproves that, and the speed...
Same track, Peel Session. Dec '78 [dazzling recording quality of coursec/o John Peel]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdTHYmBMu_kDitto this for musicianship, this 40+ years later from a 'rag-tag bunch of kids' shows that's not all that was going on, at all.
Follows on on auto-play to.... more

A good old song if ever there was one DE.
WRT punk musicians "couldn't play their instruments" I've always thought there were two reasons for this to be put about in the late 70s: firstly because Punk did encourage lots of youngsters to form bands and play live prior to learning how to play to any decent standard and so, in some examples of local and regional bands it was true, and secondly because it was part of the marketing of Punk to emphasize the anti-establishment nature of the movement, and to ensure it remained diametrically opposed to the perceived pomposity of Arthurian legend concept prog rockers with their twin necked guitars and multi keyboard organs. All good fun!
In reality of course, many of the early movers in the Punk scene of '77 had been gigging since the early '70s as part of the pub rock/Hope and Anchor/Brinsley Schwarz era and who were more than familiar with both their instruments and how to perform live. The more accomplished musicians were paired with newer performers, most famously Jones and Cook who'd played together for years before being put alongside Vicious and Rotten (and Matlock previously of course), and The Guildford Stranglers being another example.
And so to my offering; I've always considered this thread with its 'nice' titular reference to rule out the more bawdy side of my record collection, so here's a more gentle offering from Genesis P. Orridge and Peter Christopherson in their post Throbbing Gristle line up as Psychic TV, and written for Genesis' first daughter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgybJiQF7KgAgain both had been performing since the first half of the '70s but it was Punk that provided the platform for them to be heard and signed to a label. And if anyone fancies listening again, to a live version, here it is with clear visual reference to the Pandrogeny Project that was such a central tenet for Genesis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKtl65HffO8I hope this may revive memories for posters who've heard it before, and perhaps introduce others to some of the less well known corners of the Punk movement and the music it subsequently enabled.
