I absolutely adored the first Throwing Muses album, but never cared for any of the follow-ups - with the exception of Tanya Donnelly's songs. And as it happens, my favourite song on the debut was her one contribution ("Green"). So it's not surprising that I loved Belly too, or at least their first album. It's an amazingly strong record, full of great tunes, clever lyrics and that voice. Tanya could sing the phone book and it would sound heavenly.
I only saw them once, though, and they were disappointingly boring. Though from this clip I'm wondering if I might have just caught them on a bad night.
