      Nick Cave/Gallon Drunk. (Score:0)
      Nice to see Nick featuring so high,not that he needs HMV's recognition.More to the point here,the involvement of James Johnston,leader of erstwhile Morrissey support band Gallon Drunk,was crucial.As a new full time member of the Bad Seeds,he had a big influence on the sound and helped make this possibly Cave's best album so far.It's always perplexed me how few enlightened souls mention the Drunk on this site,given how often certain other no mark support bands get discussed.Certainly one of the best British bands of the nineties,most of their stuff is great,but in particular check out stuff like "Some Fool's Mess" and "Push The Boat Out"!
