Deeply unfashionable groups who have a decent body of work...

[Salsaboy]

If you're going for Dollar, you've got to have Ottowan. D I S C O, Hands up, baby hands up.

A deeply unfashionable group with a decent body?

Definitely Dollar's Thereza Bazar

[????]

Also, Salsaboy's a fan I know....

Level 42

The first Album is excellent and plenty of decent singles afterwards

[Annette Curtain]

Oh how about Lloyd Cole

:)

[Salsaboy]

Thanks Quids, didn't think they'd qualify. Saw them for the 14th time last year. Still got it.

[Otta]

Bee Gees? Not my bag really, but I respect them.

Crash Test Dummies!!!

Wings of Love predates their first Album, one of the best things Level 42 has ever done.

eta: typo - changed as to has.

[taper]

Thin Lizzy are cool. As is Lloyd Cole.

Dire Straits is a good one. I would add Genesis. Also Iron Maiden. ZZ Top maybe. Barry Manilow?

[Parkdrive]

Human League

[maxxi]

Wings.

And if Mud are being claimed along with Slade (too cool surely? especially in their original skinhead incarnation) and the truly never-fashionable Showaddywaddy then what price The Rubettes? (would you believe 9 albums??)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

ZZ Top in their early incarnation are far too cool to be included.

Anything with Denny Laine in is cool too.

I think Rubettes is just taking the piss, maxxi. Next you'll be saying The Osmonds.

No but I would say Gary Glitter/The Glitter Band if the word 'decent' hadn't been used in the thread title (is there a LESS fashionable band anywhere?)... though 50 million American sports fans can't be wrong surely?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have to confess to having seen GG and the G Band - they were ace. [pre-revelations, of course]

[steveo]

I was taking the piss with Mud but GG and the Glitter Band?

HELL YEAH!

[giggirl]

Thin Lizzy deffo

The Eagles

Feetwood Mac

[????]

Sparks anyone?

[????]

Or for older hippies, Camel?

Sparks were always 'in' in a weird kind of way - who didn't have a copy of Kimono My House?

Camel probably belong in a sub-group with Wishbone Ash.

What about Nazareth? Never really fashionable except in 'Not quite Deep Purple but-' circles but some good songs.

[Salsaboy]

Supertramp?

[KidKruger]

E.L.O

Yeah I second The Rubettes ( & honest they were nearly my first choice)

I saw them in Liege in 1975

Did you know their 'blue hat' look was based on Gene Vincent

Nette:)

Total verifiable shit.

[MrBen]

Level 42 would have been fashionable if Mark King had just lowered his bass guitar a bit.
