Who is your favourite Welsh music artist or band?

[Nololob]

Budgie and Roger Glover.

 

[Big Ears]

I've got quite a few:

Man - A truly great progressive rock band which released many wonderful albums including 'Do you Like it Here Now, Are you Settling In?' There were a number of spin-offs, including Iceberg, Clive John's solo work and Neutrons;

Deke Leonard's Iceberg - More Man than Man;

Clive John - Man solo;

Neutrons - Man spin-off band;

Budgie - One of the best heavy rock bands of all time, with crunching riffs, weird song titles and Roger Dean imagery;

Dave Edmunds and Rockpile - Released a famous version of 'Sabre Dance' (as Love Sculpture) in 1968, followed by an unpretentious version of 'I Here You Knocking' in 1970. Edmunds went on to be a successful producer;

Racing Cars - One hit wonders for 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' in 1977, despite being signed to Chrysalis, supporting Bad Co on tour and having a strong live following;

Sassafras - Released three excellent albums (i) 'Expecting Company' 1973, (ii) 'Wheelin' 'N' Dealin' 1975 and (iii) 'Riding High' 1976. The second includes a superior version of Neil Young's 'Ohio';

Tigertailz - Their best album is 'Young and Crazy' from 1987, with 'Livin' Without You';

Tredegar - Featuring Tony Bourge of Budgie;

Bonnie Tyler - Had a hit in 1976 with 'Lost in France' before working with Jim Steinman on the 'Faster Than the Speed of Night' album (1983) which produced the 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' single.

Not my favourites, but Welsh:
Shirley Bassey
Tom Jones
Shakin' Stevens
Manic Street Preachers

Weird:

Quick question, is the Tigertailz vid in my OP showing up for anyone else? It's not showing up for me, so let me know if you can't see it either and then I can fix it.

 

[Iggy]

Funeral for a friend.
Not my favourite Welsh band, but deserve a mention,
and the guitarist is a mate of mine. [blatant name dropping].

[LOU/REALM]

Good to see Pixel flying the flag for the music of Wales Some good bands already mentioned.....the classic BUDGIE ......MAN...good call.
My personal favorite are a band I have followed since their early 80s Goth days GENE LOVES JEZEBEL !!!!
They sort of went more commercial as time went on....but made some OUTSTANDING albums. Their debut is a classic and easily in my top ten albums of all time. The two twin brothers Jay and Mike had a almighty fall out years ago....so 2 GENE LOVES JEZEBELs exist..even today

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I don't know home many people know this but John Cale is Welsh.
