I like two songs by AC Acoustics :(
I also bought a compilation because it had Tribute to Nothing on once (also for a track by Monkey Boy, who are probably not for this thread but whom I'm sure Matt #2 will have seen, quite possibly in the Camden Underworld) and apparently it contains Muse's first ever track and is accordingly worth some money to some sad bastards. Or was, at one point.

'Stunt Girl' by AC ACoustics was alright imo
― ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:18 (thirteen years ago) link
think rare Muse stuff sells for nutso smasho prices, if you still have that comp (it's an Organ one, right?) you'll still be quids in I reckon

It's on whoever Tribute to Nothing's label was at the time. Lockjaw? Helping You Back To Work or sth?

Hm! Thank you, DJM, might revive one of the many "eBay or Amazon Marketplace?" threads a bit later on.

Symposium might just be the worst imo, but the relentless coverage in the NME didn't help either.

I'm sure I remember a feature where they compared the on-stage smashability of various guitars. That's rock, that is.

cable, tribute to nothing, bivouac, symposium belong in this list. paradise lost don't, nor do all the acts that made it bigger in the 00s (muse, feeder etc)

agreed.
Is much of this stuff available on Spotify?
I would Grokk a playlist of this stuff.
entitled "sharing is turned off"
maybe it can be a project of mine after I've moved house.

Would expect it all to be on spotify. I think the old Kerrang britrock compilations were on there but don't know if they still are
