Posted May 29, 2007 My Last.fm page. Thats basically the music I like, summed up for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 I honestly think the Fratellis are hugely overrated. Sure they're 'cool', but there;s only like 3 songs on their album that i can listen to more than once a day. And, after what I said to platty ages ago... The latest Kings of Leon album has indeed grown on me after multiple plays. While it's not the same, young-feeling band that it was before, it does sound good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 I mainly likes: Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails. I would say they are my top 5 in no order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 Nirvana and Rage kick fucking ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 My top five are Radiohead, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters & Snow Patrol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 29, 2007 I miss the beards. lol, i agree! They look strange without them. What do you think of their musical 'evolution'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 I like Chelsea Dagger, and that's it from the Fratellis. I listen to virtually all genres of music. If I didn't, I would go mad. I can't imagine only listening to one genre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 'Tis one of my favourite songs, and its a shame it didn't get the proper single treatment (the video is a promo). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 lol, i agree! They look strange without them. What do you think of their musical 'evolution'? I've only listened to their first effort in enough depth to comment on. I did see their latest single on Jonathan Ross a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't hear a word of it, as I was too busy lamenting over the drummers lack of facial Hair.

Posted May 29, 2007 I don't really like videos that have nothing interesting happening in them. I love the song though. One of Catatonia's best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 lol... well the general 'consensus' is that their old sound wasn't just a raw sound, but a raw band, and that waiting two years instead of one to record a new album has meant they've grown up and focused on making an Album, instead of 11 songs. I do agree that they have grown up - i mean, when it takes more than one listen to enjoy a song, it is a better song. But I think they've lost their honest country style and traded it in for a more mainstream sound, with some country as a back-up. Shame, but ultimately quite listenable.

Posted May 29, 2007 I'm not one for 'new' music really, even tho I do ocassionally listen to new stuff on the radio, but hardly ever buy their albums. My favourite bands/artists are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, The Who, U2, David Bowie and Paul McCartney's solo career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. I find myself to be the same - for example, having just listened to Kasabian, I am now listening to a track from Lost (A show I don't even watch), a piano piece.

Posted May 29, 2007 I don't honestly see why anyone doesn't like some aspect of teh beatles. They evolved massively in their years. I like Helter Skelter, Here Comes The Sun, Get Back, Come Together and I Am The Walrus. I've not listened to all the albums properly so i can't say that that's all I like of them.... But i'm certain that everyone can find at least one song by them that they can enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Madonna is my fave song of theirs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't just listen to one genre, its like a crime against music. I've just started to listen to Smash Mouth, there pretty awesome, songs like "story of my life", "crawl" and my favourite "all star" are great. (the fratellis are great!)

Posted May 29, 2007 Actually, Nujabes is like a superstar in the underground rap communitty. They kinda like worship him. It surprised me. But fuck it, he deserves it!! And Hideki Naganuma [Portuguese mafia](não sabes escrever palancho? Pfff)[/Portuguese mafia] should get more recognition... they way the man mixes hip-hop with trip-hop, breakbeat and acid jazz is fantastic. =D He doesn't get to do half of the soundtracks he should. =/ Pff, I was half asleep.

Posted May 29, 2007 I'm currently listening to George Formby. Best comedy ukulele player the world has ever seen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 yeh modest mouse have been going for about 14 years, an excellent band who are even more excellent live, ive yet yo pick up their new album however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 They aren't. In my opinion. But then I've discovered since liking them that opinion is truly divided. To me, they're the best band I've ever heard. (Well, their new album and the one before that..the first is utter crap) It's so powerful and emotive. Others label them as "emo". I just find all other metal/rock to pale in comparison. Fool their first album is clearly the best then the second and then its The Black Parade which is truly awful. Favourite band is Muse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
