Skunk anansie!
Skunk Anansie formed in March 1994, disbanded in 2001 and reformed in 2009. Their singer is 'skin' (Deborah Dyer). She tried to go solo in between '94 and '01 but that didn't work out as planned...
They have three studio albums (Paranoid and Sunburnt, Stoosh, Post ******** Chill) and fourteen singles.
In 1995, Skunk Anansie released their debut album Paranoid and Sunburnt on the One Little Indian record label. It was recorded with Robbie France on drums,[4] who left before the album was released. Mark Richardson replaced France. The album peaked at #8 on the UK albums chart and was certified platinum in their native United Kingdom with a gold certification in the Netherlands; the band also won the Kerrang! Award for "Best British Band" in that same year.[5] Paranoid and Sunburnt spawned two top 20 singles in the United Kingdom: "Weak" and a re-issue of "Charity", which had previously made the top 40.
In 1996, Skunk Anansie released Stoosh, which was certified gold in several European countries, with a platinum certification in Italy and became their second UK album to be certified platinum, while peaking at #9 on the UK album charts. Stoosh spawned their highest-charting singles, which included "Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)", which reached the top 20 in various European countries. "Brazen (Weep)" from the same album became their highest-charting UK single peaking at #11. European sales for the album including the UK totaled two million.
Skunk Anansie released Post ******** Chill on Virgin in 1999. The album was certified platinum by the IFPI for selling over one million units in Europe and the UK.
Recently they released a compilation album called "Smashes and Trashes" with 3 new songs on it and a bunch of their better singles.
I'd advise this album to start with because all their albums have bad and good songs, aside from this one...
