<html><div style='background-color:'>APB?!&nbsp; Does anyone outside of New York know who&nbsp;they are?&nbsp; I don't know how many times I saw them.&nbsp; Usually at the old Ritz in New York, and at a couple clubs on Long Island, where the bouncers would become so confounded by moshing they'd rush to the front of the stage and pull us apart as if there was a fight going on,&nbsp;then threaten to throw us out.&nbsp; I even saw Fishbone (one of THE greatest bands of all time) open for them once.

As we understood it after time, New York and Long Island were the only places on earth where&nbsp;APB were popular, including in their homeland of Scotland.&nbsp; Any global gatherers want to weigh in?&nbsp; And why did it have to rain today?
And, to bolster Alex's list, Gary Moore also does an Over The Hills And Far Away.

Always a poor man's Gang of Four (and that's being exceptionally kind), but they had some great singles, notably "Shoot You Down". Great crackly sound to that record.
