Tribute to Athens, GA group Pylon
Allmusic Pylon bio

Quote:
Despite failing to equal the commercial success or cross-cultural impact of their Athens, Georgia, compatriots R.E.M. and the B-52's, Pylon's influence on the city's legendary music scene proved just as pronounced -- the group's propulsive, angular jangle pop sound resonated not only within the Athens creative community, but throughout the American pop underground of the '80s, and though more heard-of than actually heard, their role as elder statesmen of the alternative rock explosion is unassailable

^^Just a quick note to people coming to my thread, this is a notice board for people in the mainstream who have recently died or want to commemorate special memoriam events; most members tend to use individual topics to discuss particular people they were fond of. More than one recent tribute is allowed.

Many thanks.
