Got the perfect present for Christmas, Rhapsody.

This is what they had to say about Eleventh Dream Day

Merry Christmas, y'all

Scott, NYC


With a career riddled with ill-timed personnel changes and a nightmarish
major-label tenure, Eleventh Dream Day's place in music history will
probably be as runner-up to Def Leppard in the Unluckiest Band category.
With their eponymous EP in 1987, the band won a respectable following in the
Chicago area, where the two creative mainstays of the band, Rick Rizzo and
Janet Beveridge Bean, moved after meeting each other at the University of
Kentucky. Lauded by critics and a devout fan base, the band signed with
Atlantic Records and delivered Beet in 1989. The album showcased the band's
terse, skittish pop sensibilities and penchant for gorgeous, moody ballads.
Two more albums followed, but failed to push the band any further than their
initial fan base. With three strikes against them, they were dropped. Ever
resilient, Eleventh Dream Day continue to release music on Chicago-based
Indie label Thrill Jockey, while Bean also does a turn in the country-kissed
side project Freakwater. 



Unlucky bands, I would add the Waitresses and the Manics.
