So, anyhoo...
24-7 Spyz--Gumbo Millenium: Rock cranked out by black folk. They were out around the time of Living Colour...even got signed to a major label in the early 90s. Where as Living Colour did some noise experimentation, Spyz blended some jazz and reggae into their music. The rock songs rock out. The mellower songs lean toward cheesy, but they're still good. As a whole, the songs range from socially conscious to downright silly. A good balance.
Terence Trent D'Arby--Vibrator and Symphony or Damn: TTD could have become a huge pop star. The first thing that stopped him was his big head after "Wishing Well" came out. The second was that he makes great music that cannot be put into one category. Rock, funk, ballads, whatever...you'll find an ample mix of all of them on both CDs. He has recently adopted the name Sananda and released a new album in October called
WildCard, his first release in over 6 years. I love both these albums for the fact that the music is all over the place, although I lean more towards
Vibrator.
