Back catalogues loaded with goodies?
I¹d have to cite (in case you¹ve missed out on any):
Nomeansno
The Young Gods
Shellac
Einstuerzende Neubauten
The God Machine (especially if you like The Cure)
Firewater
Tom Verlaine
John Cale
Wire
I also really rate Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator,
but then I¹m a bit of a prog-head on the quiet.
