The Chameleons
The Chameleons were a highly influential British rock band whose intense and dynamic musicianship was never really understood or appreciated by the music press or public alike. The Chameleons were formed in 1981 in Middleton, Manchester by vocalist and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarists Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies and drummer Brian Schofield, though the latter was soon replaced by long standing drummer John Lever. Together they produced four studio albums (one unreleased by CBS) before splitting acrimoniously after the death of their manager, Tony Fletcher in 1987. They reformed in 2000 to the delight of their small but highly devoted fan base and produced a new studio album and two albums of stripped down covers of their own material.
Currently, the band are working on individual projects.
The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
How The Chameleons moved
Genre belongs to the record, not to the artist. Every album’s Groove is shared out across the genres it actually is — by how the raters tagged it — so nobody is 100% one thing. Stack that by decade and a career draws itself.
