Posted May 8, 2008 U2 are probably in the top 100, but I can't imagine they're anywhere near number one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 The last.fm charts seem to give an alright approximation of who the most popular bands in the world are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 The last.fm charts seem to give an alright approximation of who the most popular bands in the world are. I suppose, but I don't see Radiohead selling as much as some people way down on the most listened artists chart... But yeah, I mostly agree. It's the ones EVERYONE seems to like, though most of the top ten are yawn-inducing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 The first 8 tracks off Weezer's new album have been leaked, btw. Listening now, seems pretty good so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2008 Everyone (who has been alive since the early 60s) has a favourite Beatles track thus they win yes? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 yeh id probably agree but i was on about bands that are still going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 I think we're talking in bands that are still going. In terms of sales Michael Jackson and The Beatles own all I think. As far as the biggest band in the world who are still currently operating I don't really know, but I know that they're dull whoever they are. Melua, is it Katie Melua?

Posted May 8, 2008 I'm finally getting round to learning to play the bass properly, and I've pretty much perfected the bass to The Gossip's "Yr Mangled Heart". Which other songs (which I'm likely to know and like) have good bass parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which other songs (which I'm likely to know and like) have good bass parts? Anything by The Stone Roses. "Fools Gold", "I Wanna Be Adored" and "She Bangs The Drums" have some class basslines. Oh, you don't like Stone Roses? Fair enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2008 The only one i'm not opposed to is Lady Madonna. And that one titled after a woman's name? Can't remember..Jenny or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 8, 2008 "The Greatest Man..." is amazing. Yeah, awesome. My favourite is Everybody Get Dangerous, a bit different but really cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 Eleanor Rigby? Yeah, that's it. ------ On a Goldfrapp splurge. I wish they hadn't done Supernature, and made like a small Ep with the good tracks off it, or something. It's bollocks compared to the other 3 albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which other songs (which I'm likely to know and like) have good bass parts? This Charming Man by The Smiths has an absolutely awesome bass line, better than that gossip bullshit. Joking, I'm not gonna be a dick about your music taste. If you want to listen to the lame music of an American Apparel sponsored Manatee thats your divine right.

Posted May 8, 2008 haha. wondered when you'd show up... good choice though. that is an awesome bass line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2008 If you want the most sublime bass part ever, learn Orion by Metallica. Some of the greatest 8 1/2 minutes of music ever recorded. Seriously though, listen to it all the way through... it's fully instrumental, and pure untainted genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
