Blimey, I can tell we have a VERY similar taste in music. I've not heard of the last 4 bands but I'll definitely check them out - thanks for the info

"Pray For Rain" aka PFR doesn't exist any longer but they were a great band. What may have done them in was the Christian lyrics even though they weren't blatantly so. Great vocal harmonies for these guys.
Here is a little taste even though by far not their best material (in my opinion).
This is PFR with Phil Keaggy doing "We Can Work It Out"

The Eels are another Beatles influenced band but didn't feel they warranted their own individual thread.
If I think of any other bands or solo, I'll post them. Great forum btw...just happened upon it last night.

I've got the original single of that, it's a quality track - back when they were still THE Status Quo! I bet they don't do that one live anymore - hardly fits in with their 12-bar set!
Have you heard Scorpio Rising by Death In Vegas?

Wow! I hunted down two versions of it and it is a whole lot like "Status Quo - Pictures Of Matchstick Men" and think I will try more of this band. Good stuff, thanks.

Glad you like it - I knew you would! Sadly, I think Scorpio Rising is as good as they ever got. That's Liam Gallagher from Oasis on vocals by the way. As I recall, Pictures Of Matchstick Men is actually given as part of the songwriting credit for that song.

That is great information. I did hear a couple more songs but not one as good as "Scorpio Rising" yet. Just purchased these cds over the weekend and they should arrive this week. CAPTAIN WILBERFORCE: Mindfilming cdbaby.com/cd/capwilberforceEvan Hillhouse: Evan Hillhouse cdbaby.com/cd/evanhillhouseSteve Porter: Artistic Licence (good vocal harmonies) took a chance since it was on sale 3 cds for $15 US. cdbaby.com/cd/porters3
