Black Rose Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Oh yeah, it's another thread about an old band, who are sadly no longer with us, which is a shame as they made some fantastic pop albums of the late 1980s/early 1990s. They were an Irish band, of which their best known song was "The King of Rock 'N' Roll" and best known album was Steve McQueen/Two Wheels Good which got re-released last year. So has anybody else ever heard of the Sprout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 That's just creepy!! I hadn't thought of this band in years, and a friend and I were having the 'whatevber happened to...' conversation earlier and their name came up. They were great while they lasted!:) I have to admit I barely remember them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have only rediscovered them due to me going back in time to discover new music instead of having to listen to some of the compete and utter crap coming out by some of the hotly tipped new bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 ^I've been doing that alot lately too...it's why I'm listening to Parklife again. I'd forgotten what a truly brilliant album it was.:) *goes to dogpile some Sprout* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 The best place to start is with their "38 carat gold" greatest hits set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsKay Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I quite like Prefab Sprout. Got into them through Mew believe it or not who are huge fans. I actually asked you Dave for the Steve McQueen album last year which I was very thankful. I haven't heard their stuff in a long time though, in fact, I've completely gone walkabout with a lot of my music sadly, heck I rarely come here that often lol. Steve McQueen - great album :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Roll in 7th September when "Let's Change the World with Music" hits the shops :) Although not a brand new album in the true sense of the word, it's Paddy releasing some of his 'lost' recordings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueDeNimes Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Oh cool!!! I listen to "Andromeda Heights" a lot at work!! *sing* We were songbirds, we were Greek Gods We were singled out by fate We were quoted out of context - it was great. Grander than Castles, Cathedrals or stars Electric Guitars ! Only know this album though, my boss brought it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
