Surely our British members know of and hopefully love these guys - still ONE of the best bands that I've ever heard in my life, and it's a shame that they were never huge in the U.S. - as they should have been.

Amazing riffs, amazing hooks, amazing lyrics - amazing EVERYTHING. Ginger is a legend as far as I'm concerned.

Most of their b-sides and throw away tracks are better than most bands' a-sides, especially in today's rock scene. The amount of releases that these guys throw out there full of quality material is just mind-boggling. There's STILL stuff that I'm collecting because of some of it is just so hard to find. Going to pick up the new covers album once I get my credit cards paid off.

Any Americans who have never heard of these guys NEED to check them out one way or another - Ginger won't mind, really.

I bought one of their albums for cheap after reading some good things about them, and Ithought it was pretty ordinary. I ended up selling it a month or so later. I can't remember which one it was, but it had a purple coloured sleeve.

Might have to give them another chance.

"P.H.U.Q."

It took me a while to get in to that one too. Start with their debut: "Earth Vs. The Wildhearts"
