280. The Undertones

Many a Rock band was based on their subtlety. The Undertones were not one of those bands. If anything, they were a band that may have understood the basic ideal of Rock and Roll better than anyone as their blend of Garage Rock during the Punk Years was very much a celebration of the Rock and Roll spirit. While other Rock bands of their era were busy making statements, this was a band that was just making Rock music; funny how that was forgotten in one of Rock’s best eras.
