Editors = Echo and the Bunnymen, diluted with a soupcon of Coldplay.

Ok. So EATB blow goats, while Coldplay are the musical equivalent of diazepam. Where are we going with this?

"Better than Swans" is all you need to remember.

Re swans, it should be noted that the Wiki entry notes the band formed and began playing/releasing records in 1982, and that in 1987 'they began to incorporate melody into their music'

I introduced melody into my last band's songs. Caused terrible ructions and dissolution due to the usual "artistic differences".

You'd be amazed how much trouble the question "what key is this supposed to be in?" can cause.

I was once in band that entered a band competition, and melody was an alien concept.

I was percussion (beating an oil drum with an iron bar), our guitarist was a bloke in a green leather mini skirt and fishnets who played his guitar with a vibrator, all over some pre-recorded Gregorian monk chanting. We did no rehearsals, learnt no songs and just went out and made a racket.

3 goths got up and started dancing; we lasted about 5 minutes until the plug was pulled and we were booted off stage. A great day.

I did. I used to play in a Scandinavian Death / Black Metal band too. That was fun.

These days it's mostly 80's pop covers for 50th birthdays. How the mighty have fallen etc.
