saw the link about the captured tracks anthology and thought "i bet they don't have crippled pilgrims" but looky there, they have crippled pilgrims!

this is a good comp ... the R.E.M. imitation is sometimes fierce, but it sounds fine now

Also no mention of the Field Mice or any of Bobby Wratten's other endeavours yet. That's being rectified right now.☺

Sundays have loads of jangle but should probably technically shelved under 90s

There are some great recommendations and discoveries on this thread. How did the Vulgar Boatmen pass me by? I second The Hummingbirds, a fantastic band - so sad that Simon Holmes is no longer with us.

Vulgar Boatmen so good. Like a Motorik Everly Brothers.

The little pause before the cymbal hits in the 'chorus' are the very best thing.

Wow, wow, wow.
I used to have the mp3's of this Brazilian band. So excellent, you have to hear it:

^ Wow, indeed! That whole album sounds fantastic--cool unexpectedly frequent use of harmonica by the singer, too...
― Co-pay Segundo (Craig D.), Monday, 18 January 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link
Yeah I posted the live version, whereas the album is a classic indie 80s sound, love the guitar and unadorned sound...now I gotta go back and revisit the rest of that Brazilian "new wave" that was on that comp.

I'm pissed this wasn't on American college radio back in the day.
