Seeming poised for eternal greatness, Fine Young Cannibals had a monster album in the late 80’s that appealed to both mainstream and independent audiences. They never did follow up with anything big; not because they failed but because they never tried. Fine Young Cannibals quietly disappeared and had they stayed together, we can’t help but think they had the potential to be way higher on this list.
