It's time for Mark and Miracle Legion to get their due.

They were always a favorite on KSCU and KSJS back in the 80s. Miss those days...and the band.

Thanks for posting.

I fucking loved Miracle Legion. Whatever happened to them? I lost track of them after "Portrait Of A Damaged Family" in 1996.

[bricebu]

Yeah. Get your hands on a copy of "Drenched" and you'll forget all about those superficial REM comparisons. :-)

Really good band; unfairly overlooked and sorely underrated.

So special.

Fondly remember seeing this band many many times in NYC-they never disappointed. And Ray never made a mistake.

This song fills me with nostalgia that I never had...I wish I had a girl next door like the one they sing of!

@chaosfive55

Would you mind telling me what this song is about?

[chaosfive55]

@jennincl Well, to me it sounds like he's telling us about his childhood, and the awesome girl next door that he loved! :)

[ilrumore]

sure, it's very REMish...but it was the mid 80's...and they're a New Haven band!

[rufustspaulding]

@ilrumore come on..only a very superficial listening to the music would draw the rem comparison mainly because of the similarity in the voices, aside from that they have little in common
