Guess the band from the description is a new feature here at Dublog, prompted by the disappointment in a recent purchase (that'll teach me to believe a review in The Guardian, the bastion of safe musical taste):
Snow Patrol play The Lightning Seeds (with a smattering of Big Country).

Take That (they're not the same without Robbie)
This is fun:

It's not Take That I can assure you.
Re:link - Looks like I might as well give up the day job.
yeah you're right of course, Take That never fail to deliver
It's because they take their haircuts seriously. Take your haircut seriously and everything else will fall into place.
Stephen Duffy and the Lilac Time*?
I give up, when do we get the answer
*spot the theme
Not sure. I'd like a few more people to try to guess before I give the answer, assuming no one gets it of course. Or I could give you the answer when I post the next Guess The Band. Or I could post the answers at the end of the year.
*Is it a Robbie theme?
Snow Patrol are on TV right now. I've never knowingly heard them before but they're strangely exactly what I was expecting: plodding, competent sentimentality, obvious tension/release mild mannered mellow dramatics. Singalong Dull. Now if I can just hear some Lightning Seeds (another band completely unknown to me) I might be getting somewhere. Big Country of course I know and their ringing celtic guitars jigs remain magnificent in my memory. Good night.
Do you not like rock music?
it has it's merits, Snow Patrol, however, is not one of them
sorry stray apostrophe in "it's" puntuation freaks
"punctuation", speling freaks, oh I give up...
You're not taking the hint.
no, I don't understand, I give up, I am not schooled in the ways of The Rock
There's a clue in my second to last post.
Sorry, I meant my second to last comment, not post!
yes I gathered that, I'm not getting it
Have you not heard of Google?
well that's cheating! I've never heard British Sea Power anyway so I'm still sort of in the dark, but you can get the album cheap with the new Magnetic Fields on Amazon!
Hurrah, we have a winner..except.. that....I'm afraid...you don't win anything. Never heard of Magnetic Fields but it's good to hear someone at Amazon has a sense of humour. Can you get Wings cheap with The Byrds? Or how about Electric Light Orchestra with Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark? Or how about Bum Gravy and Armitage Shanks?
...or Storm Bugs with The Beatles? Well there wasn't much in the way of competition and I had to be prompted with the most glaringly obvious clues means I don't really deserve any prizes. Magnetic Fields did 69 Love Songs a few years back.
oh they're on Later right now... I like the mix n match Romany chic but why do they sing with American accents?
OK Jools says it's a Bulgarian choir, I used to love those Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria albums in the '90s.
Must say they were not as bombastic as recorded and they exuded a frailty that I quite liked. Just spent a week in Shingle Street, cut off from everyone and everything and listening to BSP with the North Sea lashing your face and slugging Jura sinlge malt from a hip flask is a pleasant experience.
On the topic of Later, wasn't Joe Brown fantastic although he's the spitting image of our neighbour which is a little disconcerting.
