Yes, Jon Moss drumming at Nik's recent shindig...

>Massive Attack

I may be in a minority, but I'm amazed to see this band lumped in with
the other chart fodder here. "Mezzanine" is a phenomenal album IMHO,
and their others have their moments too. You can't honestly tell me that a
band who write heavy-duty dub-stoner material like "Karmacoma" or
"Inertia Creeps" belong in this list. If there's a link with HW (something
to do with Clive Deamer?), that's cool in my book.  I always thought the
guitar crescendo on Mezzanine's title track sounds very HW-ish.

>Toyah Wilcox

Something to do with Fripp?

>Atomic Kitten

OK well here we move into the realms of the truly indefensible and I'm
not even going to begin to guess...
