Whatever Happened to...Thirteen Bands/Artists to wonder about 1…. The Bluetones They were the next big thing a few years ago. Everyone had their first album, it's good I listened to it today. Then Poof I never heard of them again. 2....Catatonia The Welsh siren et al.They were huge for a while but then bam, now you see them now you don't! 3....Damien Rice What's that you say, storm in teacup? 4....Lemon Jelly One really good album and some bits and pieces, time for something really good again I think. 5....Joe Jackson He was great, he should definitely make a comeback. 6....The Communards They were good on top of the pops! 7....Texas Another band that were huge but then what. Probably off enjoying their money somewhere. 8....Pulp Now there's a band that should definitely make a com back. The world is a much bleaker place without them. 9....Blur Forget all this Gorillaz rubbish, Blur were the real thing. 10....Terry Hall Good in all of his incarnations. 11....Talking Heads Yes I know David Byrne has done some good stuff without them. But sometimes a band just has the right chemistry. 12....Ultravox Midge Ure should definitely be sharing that musical talent around a bit. 13....Yes About time they resurfaced, noone writes lyrics as nonsensical as Jon Anderson.
