I can't remember the name of their incarnation when they performed on TOTP with an icecream van on stage and dressed as ice cream cones. Classic!!
I also recorded their infamous anti-art moment of burning the million Pounds.

This must be the fastest moving thread i've seen on here I can see we're running out of bands when the LA's get a mention though 
What about Coventry's indie darlings The Primitives? They were good...well until that bloke (Ian Broudie?) started singing on the albums...I seem to have it in my head that he formed the Lightning Seeds later? May have that wrong though...

The eighties/nineties reminds me of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They had a slew of artists who had hits written and produced by this team. I wonder if any of SAW's artists managed to carve a career in the US.
There's a lot to choose from:
Bananarama, Kylie (I won't forget how Record Mirror called her "pseudounderagesexdwarfchild"), Sinita, Rick Astley, Brother Beyond, Sonia, etc.
