I think I’ve managed to avoid hearing any of them, or at least not knowingly, likewise almost all the artist names.  Phew!

I'm familair with a dozen or so of the bands. Some of the material is very listenable (e.g. all the Avvays tracks, Hayman Kupa Band, Darling Buds, The Pink Tiles, Sir Robert Orage Peel for example). Others are a bit more challenging and need a few listens. You may well be surprised at what you like and had no idea that it even existed.
