The Other Ones - The Other Ones

The 80's band that the Grateful Dead stole their name from.

I have this album recorded on a cassette, but I know that it was also released on CD, becuase I copied it off one of my friend's CD's of the band back when it was originally released. This is a great new wave band. I guess the band is originally from Germany, and a little hard to describe, but here goes: if you cross 80's Heart, with the B-52's, with Midnight Oil, that is pretty much how they sound. The songs are not especially deep, but they are still great songs, and would be great tracks for any 80's party. The most noticable to the masses are the singles "(Another) Holiday", and "We Are What We Are". The whole album is good, though for you album enthusiasts. Hopefully, Amazon will start offering it on CD like when it was originally released. February 25, 2004

late 80's-early 90's band, NOT the post Dead band!

Actually, i don't have this album yet, i've been trying 2 track the dam thing down 4ever! So far, this info is the closest i've gotten. i know a handful of songs, & the ones i know, i think R great, so that's why i gave it 5 stars. Mainly 2 get attention 2 the fact that there was a band called the Other Ones B4 the guys from the dead re-formed! Someday i might get this album if i'm lucky. If U like good 80's/90's music, then you'll like this album! May 24, 2003
