Prolapse I saw thrice in their existence. I still think they were one of the better bands of that era. Mick, the mental Scotsman singer-cum-Archaeologist [!] was massively genial to two slightly confused 14-year-olds, one of whom was me.
JOMF I wanted to be much, much better than they were.
SHOTM let me down at ATP; utter bilge, to my ears.
The very worst thing I've ever seen (apart from some local bands, but it's a bit vindictive to mention people who no-one's heard of) was the Seen. They are/ were a load of moderately posh Londoners doing a shit version of the Stone Roses 15 years later than was polite. I've never been quite so catatonic with rage at how utterly shit a band could be. That rage lingered for a good fortnight as well. The show I saw was their single launch, and some record company sort was doing surveys after the show, and I went into a protracted tirade at how they were everything that was wrong with not just music but life in general. And I stand by that.
