He certainly wasn't mainstream so most people I knew back then knew nothing about him except for the one person in High School that turned me on to him.
I listen to an alex harvey record atleast once a week or i will slum and listen to it on CD. To me, one of the greatest bands and greatest frontman ever.
I've been a SAHB fan for years. Years ago, someone told me I'd probably like them since I was a big Bon Scott-era AC\DC fan. That being pre-internet times, it took me a while to find an album but eventually I found "Next" in a bargain bin and that was it. Today, SAHB is still in heavy rotation on my iPod.
