What are you listening to?

[Nutcase]

Onto some SERIOUS cheese. Roxette ;D

And in the background that ruddy hamster game....

[Treefrog]

I've been listening to Nightwish almost constantly since I got introduced to them about 2 weeks ago. Finnish 'symphonic rock' band, well worth a listen if you haven't heard anything from them

[Burble]

I have to be in the mood to listen to Nightwish, but I do like them. I've got 'Once' here and a few other albums on order.

[Mark]

And in the background that ruddy hamster game....
The hamster music can be turned off, but not the sound effects. :)

Discovered after I'd heard it for the eleventy millionth time. :)

I have my player on random, and most of the stuff on it is compilations, so 'random' fits the bill nicely.

[killerkebab]

Would I be sad if I said 'Happy Together' by the Turtles just came on and I knew the entire song off by heart?

[Nutcase]

Currently Bond theme tunes (bit of tom jones at this exact moment!).

All sorts of crud I've got :D

[Zirax]

Currently listening to Jamiroquai - You give me something, a nice chilled out track while writing test scripts.

[Zirax]

Feeder - Just the way i'm feeling

Its actually a very good song for right now :)

[Will]

I've installed last.fm it's actually quite cool. I can't quite believe the range of music I listen to! It's impressive how much crap I have (random play on iTunes) I'm always finding new tracks that I didn't know I had (I've got nigh on 11k tracks!!!). I don't have one particular taste in music really, I love stuff from classical (I really love classical music), to rock, to hip hop to trance to pop... I just love music in general. :cool:

[Tak]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More With Feeling album ;D ;D ;D

[Von Smallhausen]

Cutting Crew.

I just dies in your arms tonight.

[Stan_Lite]

Fancied a bit of Blues tonight, so currently listening to Duke Robillard and the Pleasure Kings - Rockin' Blues album. Possibly followed by Leadbelly or Big Joe Turner.

Stan :)

[killerkebab]

Cutting Crew.

I just dies in your arms tonight.Now thats a song and a half :D

[Darrin]

Shall I show my age by saying I'm listening to my high school prom song?

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

And the song was only a year old at the time......

[Treefrog]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More With Feeling album ;D ;D ;D

Hasn't Tara got an absolutely suberp voice?

[Belmit]

My supervisor seems to have selected the most random playlist ever. In the past hour I have listened to:

Hall & Oates - Maniac
A couple of Lord of the Rings soundtrack tracks (Two Towers I believe).
Green Day - American Idiot.
Green Day - Boulevard...
Weird Al Yankovic - That Star Wars/American Pie parody
The theme from Smokey and the Bandit.
The theme from the Mysterious Cities of Gold.

I'll keep you posted...

[Wryel]

I've got the flat to myself for a week so its Peats' Kareoke!

Ian Brown - F.E.A.R
Bloc Party - Blue Light
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
The Smiths - The whole of 'The World Won't Listen'
Muse - Feeling Good
Datarock, The Delays......

Feel sorry for my neighbors!

[Tak]

Hasn't Tara got an absolutely suberp voice?

Actually watched the episode last night too :D

The Tara/Giles bit is brilliant - they both have great voices :)

(my fave song has to be Spikes)

[Zirax]

Pretty certain I have mentioned them before, but i'm listening to Lifehouse - everything.

The song has certainly been used in films before now, but I can't remember which ones.

[Burble]

I'm working my way through a bunch of CD's that I picked up at the weekend. Currently playing is 'A Home In The Rain' by a Dutch band called A Days Work (http://www.adayswork.nl/) who performed a cracking set on Saturday night.

[Matblack]

Very good I have all their albums

MB

[Garp]

This week I have been going through a random phase, downloading all sorts of odd stuff from Napster.
Listened to:

Mika. Very interesting, album is allright, probably about as quirky as could be expected having heard Grace Kelly. Nice selection of songs, doesn't just do the same song over and over unlike some artists. Jury is out on him though, I'm not a fan really, but its not bad.

Corinne Bailey Rae - Pretty good album, rather more acoustic than I was expecting and shows a diverse taste in music.

Without Grace - Nice and heavy alternative thing going on here. Lyrically solid, musically satisfies my cravings for heavier stuff. Well worth a listen IMO.

[Kell_ee001]

Limp Bizkit :D Significant Other and a few selected tracks from other ablums.

[Belmit]

Just listening to The Fray's album. All seems a bit floaty and samey for my liking - 'How To Save A Life' is by far the standout track. Haven't listened to all of it yet, and this is only the first run through so maybe it'll improve.

[Haly]

I've been meaning to get that album as I quite like How to Save a Life, but I did wonder if they'd be an one track band so to speak.

[Creature]

Just listening to The Fray's album. All seems a bit floaty and samey for my liking - 'How To Save A Life' is by far the standout track. Haven't listened to all of it yet, and this is only the first run through so maybe it'll improve.If that's the stand out track then i'll be very dissapointed, I thought it was dull and bland apart from the chorus.

[Flibster]

Shall I show my age by saying I'm listening to my high school prom song?

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

And the song was only a year old at the time......

So... 1970? :p ;)

Currently listenign to a load on antipodeans. Crowded House's Farewell to the World 2cd set.

Just in preperation for their return to the worl tour later this year. :D

Simon/~Flibster

[Zirax]

Jazzy Jeff & the fresh prince - boom!

erm.... :embarassed:

[Belmit]

If that's the stand out track then i'll be very dissapointed, I thought it was dull and bland apart from the chorus.

Yeah, the verses could have been so much better lyrically but the chorus speaks volumes to me. As such I really like the song overall. In fact it's one of my favourites of the year so far. It's a real shame that the rest of the album is a bit of a non-starter.

[Zirax]

Everclear - Learning how to smile

Given what some people listen to, Everclear might be a good shout :)

[Dee]

Weezer - Island in the Sun

Forgotten how much I love this :)

[Roberta]

Juliette and The Licks - Sticky Honey.

[Matblack]

City and Colour
We are Scientists
The Shins
Lot of other stuff

MB

[Mark]

Ravel's Bolero
Seen that played live. Cue frantic musicians trying to keep up as it gets faster and faster. They did a bloody good job of it though - and an even faster encore. :D

[Pebs]

Beethoven- Moonlight Sonata (from the piano in Resident Evil!!) :D


I can nearly play that on the piano now, it's slighlty paiful to hear but I'm getting there! And Im the same with Nessun Dorma - best World Cup ever!

[Haly]

*gets acquiring* :D

[Pebs]

Nice find Kitten! *sings loudly!*

edit - Haddaway! Rar!

edit again - De'lacy! Soooo many on here making me go 'I LOVED this!'

[Stan_Lite]

Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done.........

Stan :)

[Haly]

You Got the Love - The Source Feat Candi Staton

For some reason it's immensely calming. :)

[Belmit]

This week I have mostly been listening to Rick Witter & The Dukes - The Year of the Rat. If you liked the Shed 7 album I posted a few months back then you'll definitely want this, it's basically more of the same excellence. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was actually Shed 7 because they of course have the same frontman, and the songs are just as good.

Buy it here: http://www.simonlawlor.co.uk/shop/rickshop.html

Or listen to a few of the tracks here: http://www.myspace.com/rickandthedukes

Outstanding stuff. :)

[Burble]

I'm pretty much alternating between the following new albums at the moment:

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Marillion - Somewhere Else
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Maxïmo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures

with random King Crimson and Pink Floyd making occasional appearances.

[Stan_Lite]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Live at Montreux 1982 and 1985 (current track: Pride and Joy) :cool:
Followed by Riding with the king - Eric Clapton and BB King.

Stan :)

[Daz]

Maxïmo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures
I hear you're off to see them soon? It's a great show I can tell ya, the new stuff translates brilliantly to a crowd :)

[Zirax]

There are a number of bands that i've missed out on. One of these has just come on my mp3 player, snow patrol - warmer climate.

Not usually something that I would listen to, but it is a good song.

[NokkonWud]

Queen. Lots and lots of Queen.

[Matblack]

Love Snow Patrol, a great sounding band with lyrics to match :)

Recently picked up The Fray's new album which I really like, highly unoffensive and easy to listen to in the vein of Maroon 5, Counting Crows and The Feeling :)

MB

[Justsomebloke]

Random old faves played on my phone through my house system, all stolen & downloaded via the interweb. Marvelous
Fave tune of the mo is the tune from Pulp fiction, it's the tune they play when Jonny T takes that bint home who gets ****ed up by sniffing smack. That tune roxs my world.

I AM A PIRATE, Pikey the Pirate, i like it :cool:

[Garp]

I like Snow Patrol lyrically, and musically to an extent, however I was getting bored by the end of their last album; much like I did with Keane's first album. The sound was just getting repetitive (Snow Patrol seem to like that "down strum only, on the beat every beat" thing; Keane just had that piano thing going for the entire album)
Hopefully their next stuff will show a bit more variation in style :)

[Haly]

You seem to have identical music taste to me MB :D

[NokkonWud]

I agree, Maroon 5 are terrible live. I remember watching American Idol a couple of months back and they performed and were SO bad. You couldn't even pin it to poor accoustics etc..

[Dee]

I am currently listening to Happy Hardcore :cool:

[Matblack]

As far as I am aware this thread isn't supposed to be about being disparaging about other peoples choices.

I wasn't being disparaging, I actually like Maroon 5. Definitely a studio act though :).

[Wryel]

I am currently listening to Happy Hardcore :cool:

Freak. I'm listening to Armin Van Buuren's 'A State Of Trance' weekly radio show.

[Kell_ee001]

I'm listening to "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" by Pink off the I'm Not Dead album (thanks to Rotty).

Heard the song a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get it out of my head, and found the rest of the album's pretty good too. :)

[Flibster]

Currently got Crowded House: Farewell to the World *FLAC taken from a stereo downmix of the 5.1 DTS DVD track - contains lots of intro's and stuff the CD doesn't* and Crowded House: Time on Earth.

Yup, kinda one track at the moment. But hell, they're such a great band and I'm really looking forward to seing them in December.

Simon/~Flibster

[FakeSnake]

Hmm, at the moment, flitting between Glenn Miller, The Eagles and Mylene Farmer (French bint)

[Stan_Lite]

At the moment, Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix. Followed closely by Purple Haze and All Along the Watchtower.

[Flibster]

Voodoo Child was on my MP3 player earlier. Skipped Purple Haze though as it was a pants quality version. :(

Currently listening to Black Snake Moan soundtrack and that will be followed up by Seasick Steve's Doghouse Music.

[killerkebab]

No Doubt - Don't Speak

I can't help but love this. The tune catches my attention and never lets go.

[Haly]

It's a great tune but it depresses the hell out of me!

[Stan_Lite]

No Doubt - Don't Speak

I can't help but love this. The tune catches my attention and never lets go.

I listened to the Tragic Kingdom album that track is on for the first time the other week - it's a pretty good album :)

[iCraig]

Feeder - Feeling a moment.

Awesome.

[Kell_ee001]

Feeder - Feeling a moment.

Awesome.

I was listening to that earlier :) I'm going between Feeder and Coldplay today.

[lostkat]

Just one song for me, but I absolutely love it now I've discovered it. It's on the Body Balance track that I do down the gym so I thought I'd search for it when I got back:

John Mayer - Waiting on the world to change.

Just love everything about it :) I needed something to get me up and motivated this morning and this did the trick

[Kell_ee001]

John Mayer - Waiting on the world to change.

I was looking for that but couldn't find it :( Any chance you can send it to me sometime please?

[lostkat]

I was looking for that but couldn't find it :( Any chance you can send it to me sometime please?
I was listening to it on You Tube. I don't have the ability to download music atm :(

[edit]ooo, might be working. Watch this space!

[William]

Newton Faulkner's debut album, terrible, about 5 amazing songs the rest is filler.

He could have made the whole album increadible.


And also, the fiend did a Massive Attack cover, fair enough live but not on an album imho.

Probably being over harsh on the ginger dreadlocked chap, probably expected him to be like Owen but with an amazing voice.

[Belmit]

I've been listening to the best of Talking Heads over and over. All the tracks are superb, and I'm starting to love the ones I never really listened to before.

[killerkebab]

I can't get enough of ELO at the moment.

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long

:D

[Stan_Lite]

Found an album a while back that I used to have on vinyl back in my college days and downloaded it. I just found it tonight whilst rummaging around in my music folder so I thought I'd give it a bit of a listen for the first time in about twenty years.

The album is "From her to eternity" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Christ almighty, I used to listen to some weird stuff back in the day :shocked:

First track is a Leonard Cohen track called "Avalanche" - and is trés strange. I Googled the lyrics for the song and it's actually quite a well thought out song which Cave manages to mangle in his own inimitable style.

I'm currently listening to a rendition of the Elvis standard, "In the Ghetto" which he, thankfully, doesn't mangle.

I'm looking forward to "Wings off flies" - one of my favourites :D

[Pheebs]

STATUS QUOOOOOOO! Der nerr nerr nerr nER... Der Neer nerr neerr nNERR!

/jooobies doobies floobies!

Well that, and a mix of: third eye blind, feeder, red hot chillis, mungo jerry, will smith, john butler trio, kinks, beatles etc :)

/me hearts home made cds :D

Oooh garpy garp - if you have that spare copy of Mister Jeff Buckley (I think it was Mister Buckley... Yus)... I'd heart you muchly!

[Stan_Lite]

"Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me."

Amongst my favourite lyrics evar :cool:

[Roberta]

Wish I was...

[Stan_Lite]

Wish I was...

....... homeward bound.

Kinda appropriate, seeing as I'm stuck on the bloody rig for another two weeks :(

[Roberta]

I've got such lovely memories involving Simon and Garfunkel music. :)

[Pheebs]

I've got such lovely memories involving Simon and Garfunkel music. :)

My current memory of S&G is the camp over at Mister Fakesnakes....

We had consumed vast amounts of alcohol and I had basically passed out into my sleeping bag (after a nice back massage from Dymmy boy!) and within a few hours I realised there was music playing...

... it was Fakesnakes ipod player on loop - one of which was "bridge over troubled water". After about an hour of listening to the same songs again and again (along with intermittent snoring ;)) and being unable to move an inch due to my alochol consumption, I finally managed to crawl out of our section (over picky... think I kneed him a bit) then flop over Belmit and roll over to the pod and turn it off.

... as much as I love S&G... it was heeeeeeeeeeavenly for it to stop. ;D

Awww. Belmit and Garpy looked sooo cute all huddled up in their sleeping bags.

I think I was uber drunk. ;D

[Belmit]

I still had my pirate bandana on!

And not much else.

[Mark]

Been listening to Mika at the moment - Rocks lots :D Also Prince's new album PLanet Earth is worth a listen. Not all great, but some good ones on there.
Thanks for the reminder - forgot I'd picked that one up.

[Stan_Lite]

Currently listening to "Until We Sleep" from the album "About Face" by David Gilmour - good, honest 80s rock :D

[Nutcase]

The Police, Every Breath You Take.

The dts 5.1 version. For some reason sounds slightly sped up... Track lengths add up though. Hmm.

[Karl]

Cold - End of the world.

[Nutcase]

REM Out of time DVD-A fresh in from Germany for £7-something new.

Rah :D

[Tak]

Having an odd sing-a-long-a-sam moment - in the shuffle we have Evanescence, Cher, Guns 'n' Roses, Bon Jovi, Jewel, Sugarland, Anastacia, Fergie, Jewel and Brian McKnight :embarassed: :D

[SidewinderINC]

Volbeat - I only wanna be with you

Good cover if you ask me :)

[Stan_Lite]

I'm currently working my way through my music collection, reviewing every album for my blog (what have I let myself in for? :huh: ). I'm starting at the end and working my way up (fnar) in reverse alphabetical order, so that, when I'm finished, it will be in alphabetical order in the music section of my blog - clever, n'est ce pas?

I'm only on the second album at the moment, which is The best of the Waterboys. I've never actually listened to all of this album and I'm afraid I'm not too impressed so far - although I've just reached track 4 which is 'The whole of the moon', I've always liked this track - let's hope there are a few more of similar quality to come.

[SidewinderINC]

How many albums do you have to get through?

[Matblack]

Charlatans - Up to Our Hips

MB

[Stan_Lite]

How many albums do you have to get through?

Only about 200 :(

[Roberta]

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times.

[SidewinderINC]

Only about 200 :(

still a lot to review! ive just added a few (50) to my collection so i'm at 350 now :D

now listening to Staind :)

[Stan_Lite]

I think I have about 20 or 30 at home, I haven't ripped yet. I'm only on the rig for another week - I can do one album a night here and when I get home, I can try to do 2 or 3 a day. Hopefully get them all done by the end of the year.

[Von Smallhausen]

You Surround Me .... Erasure, followed by Like To Get To Know You by Howard Jones.

[Belmit]

I've just reached track 4 which is 'The whole of the moon', I've always liked this track - let's hope there are a few more of similar quality to come.

That has one of my favourite lines in a song ever:

'I spoke about wings,
You just flew.'

[Roberta]

You Surround Me .... Erasure,

Ghey tbqfh.

*puts Paul's caller ID ringtone to silent*

[MarcLister]

Crowded House - Afterglow - Sacred Cow

[Zirax]

Really like the 2 many dj's remixes of tracks, specifically the New order remix. If you can grab their album then its worth a listen

[MarcLister]

Paul McCartney's Chaos And Creation In The Backyard.

[SidewinderINC]

Both Turisas albums :)

Off to see them tomorrow night and need to get psyched up.

[Tak]

Both Turisas albums :)

Off to see them tomorrow night and need to get psyched up.

Saw them in Manc as support to Lordi - thought they were really good :) Me and a friend Paul did have a "River Dance" moment when they bought out the pipes though ;D

[SidewinderINC]

They're not sold out for tomorrow night y'know :)

I'm going dressed up like a viking with 5 other people.

[Tak]

They're not sold out for tomorrow night y'know :)

Pics!!! :D :D

I have a grand total of £3 to last me until payday on thursday otherwise I'd be very tempted, esp as Mic is on nights so I'm home alone (not counting the boys obviously)

I'd been wondering what to listen to tonight *puts Battle Metal on*

[SidewinderINC]

There will be pics put up afterwards hehe :p

Oh, and I met them earlier in the year by their request! So we're hoping to meet them again :)

What other metal do you listen to then? I was tempted to start a metal thread, but thought it would drop pretty sharpish.

[Tak]

What other metal do you listen to then?

Erm - lots :D (I'm in a helpful mood :p )



I have rather....eclectic....tastes so can be found listening to anything from thrash metal to hair metal, from gospal to cheese, musicals/stage shows to lovey dovey *pap*

[Garp]

Listening to Foo Fighters new album (thank you Napster).

Quality tunage yet again :D Some interesting moments in it, they continue to grow musically with every album :) "Erase / Replace" & "The Pretender" are both quality tracks in their own rather unique ways.

[Joe 90]

Talib Kweli - We Pullin Out Tonight :)

[Lomster]

Cyndi lauper, she rocks :)

[Belmit]

Shine 6 and Shine 9. "Sheeeeeeine!"

12 Reasons Why I Love Her must be one of the greatest songs ever written.

Edit: Shame the video is a bit lame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz1W9EWTdVY

[AnExParrot]

The new Foo's album at the moment...

Quite cool but it goes either really really soft (softer than usual) or really really screamy (more screamy than usual). (Did i just make up a new word?)

Also the new Porcupine Tree mini-CD is quite good too!

[SidewinderINC]

I'm listening to a band that doesn't really exist!

Dethklok

They are a made up cartoon band from a show called metalocalypse on adult swim. their album came out today :D

[Creature]

I'm listening to Kill Hannah. Saw them last night in London and they were brilliant, if not a little nuts. So yea, currently, Kill Hannah - Boys and Girls

[Feek]

Just listened to the new Bruce Springsteen Album - Magic. I've never been a huge Springsteen fan but this was rather good. Quite mellow, and in some places a bit Mark Knopfler ish. :thumbsup:

[AnExParrot]

I love Springsteen but havn't checked out the Clear Channel link yet for the album... Can't wait for it to come out next week!

[Feek]

It's not out yet? I didn't realise *blush*

[AnExParrot]

It's out next week but the Clear Channel link is perfectly legit! :)

[Treefrog]

I've just listened to my favourite piece of 'classical' music of all time - Rossini's William Tell Overture.
The sheer power, grace and beauty of that piece brings tears to my eyes and sends a delicious shiver down my spine every time I listen to it.

By total contrast, the track before it was 'Nellie the Bionic Cow' by the Wurzels. Thanks for the reminder in t'other thread Roberta ;)

... musicals/stage shows ...

They may be southerners, with ways different to our own ;D

Edit: Now listening to 'Don't Cry for me Argentina'

Edit II: Does anyone have a copy of 'Humanistic' by Koala? It charted briefly about 4 years ago, but can I find it anywhere now?

[Tak]

They may be southerners, with ways different to our own ;D

;D ;) ;D

[Feek]

[leowyatt]

Currently got Jack Johnson on while I'm tidying, it's a shuffled selection of his 3 albums.

[Nutcase]

Been a while since I've listened to anything "interesting" so not put owt for a while :)

Just listened to REM Monster in DVD-A :cool: The album isn't as good as Out of Time IMO, but it's still got some stonkers on it :D

And now I've got George Thorogood & The Destroyers on. 30 years of rock greatest hits. I've been watching the Live Aid concert on DVD recently and he was at Philly and caught my attention so bought a CD for a listen. Not bad so far :)

[Del Lardo]

Just stuck the Evanescence - Fallen album on for the first time in 3 years. Had forgotten how cracking the first 4 tracks are :)

[HollyThirtyFive]

I am absoltuyl loving the Shins right now :-) Watched the Garden State the other day and it reminded me how good they were!

That album ROCKS!

:D

[Flibster]

Tommy Johnson.

He's a very old Blues artist. Don't have a CD of his work - listening to a very old a probably quite fragile now 78. Don't know the album name as its not labelled but has a handwritten sleve - Johnson, Tommy - 1931 - 83rpm

Unfortunately, I haven't got a speed variable 78 player.... *it's on my list of things to do - fit a decent motor and a large variable resistor to adjust the speed* so it's slightly too slow.

Still fantastic though.

It appears that these tracks were recorded between 1928 and 1929 though.

Don't have that one. I like the album "First and Last and Always" and listen to it regularly.
I saw them twice in the eighties - two of the best gigs I ever went to :cool:

[HollyThirtyFive]

Lets Get Lost - Elliott Smith...depressing a little but lovely all the same :-) Love his song on American Beauty Soundtrack.

[Zirax]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC.

Good choice!

Currently having a blast of RAGM :D

[kaiowas]

I've just knocked together a playlist with some of my old metal that I don't really listen to any more so I'm gonna be doing some nostalgia for a bit :D

[Nutcase]

Jive Bunny The Album :o

Just arrived after I bought it for peanuts on ebay :) I remember when it first came out, I got the tape for my Birthday with a clock/radio/tape player. The Radio I still have, the tape box I still have.

This album made me interested in older music, and it's been a good decade since I last heard the "mastermix" of it!

CHEEEEEEEESSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[kaiowas]

Most people are able to say they bought something cool as their first ever album. I shamefully have to admit that Jive Bunny was mine :p It's probably still stashed away with a load of other tapes at mums somewhere.

[Nutcase]

Just been trying to think. I do believe this was my first album too ;D Everything before then was compilations made from other people's borrowed tapes.

[Roberta]

Travelling in a fried out combie,
On a hippie trail head full of zombie...

[Roberta]

And I can't stop listening to A&E by Goldfrapp.

[Flibster]

Crowded House - Live at the Town and Country club - 1991

Fantastic show.

[Tak]

the nasty wind whistling round the house, rattling the letterbox and the extractor fan :( *shivers*

[Marmoset]

Meshuggah - Obzen. If you're a fan of properly heavy metal then give them a go. Steamroller music. :cool:

[Davey_Pitch]

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie. Great album, well worth a listen if you're into rock/metal :)

[Roberta]

Roisin Murphy - Let Me Know.

LOVE this song.

[Stan_Lite]

Travelling in a fried out combie,
On a hippie trail head full of zombie...

I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast.........

Haven't heard that in years :D

Currently listening to "Welcome to my Nightmare" by Alice Cooper. First time I've heard the album and I like it - a lot :cool:

[Pumpkinstew]

Most people are able to say they bought something cool as their first ever album. I shamefully have to admit that Jive Bunny was mine :p

Mine was Bros. If anyone has something more embarassing than that I'd be surprised.;D

Had 30 Seconds to Mars on in the car today and now have some Hayseed Dixie on as we're off to see them in March.

[PvtPyle]

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie. Great album, well worth a listen if you're into rock/metal :)

:thumbsup:

Also listening to Bedlight for Blue Eyes, Blacktop Mourning, Alexisonfire, The Automatic and The Early November.

[MarcLister]

Coldplay - X&Y.

[PvtPyle]

Can I be controversial and say Coldplay's first album was the best, and by the 3rd they'd started to run out of ideas?

[MarcLister]

Fix You - the ultimate love song :) Was there when they made the video to that \o/ Was a-may-zing.

Swallowed by the Sea is fab too.Yes it is. So Bolton was it? Must have been quite an experience. Whenever I go home on the train I always play this album first. As the train pulls out of Manchester, Square One seems such a beautiful song to me.

Think my fav has to be The Hardest Part but the last three songs are just wickedly good!

Can I be controversial and say Coldplay's first album was the best, and by the 3rd they'd started to run out of ideas?Hmm no! :D

First album was probably their best in terms of being raw and non-commercialised. X&Y is probably my favourite but it is more commercialised. :D

[MarcLister]

not controversial, just wrong. :) It was more raw, more untouched, but experience and maturity bring something of a different class to Martin's voice and lyrics. I don't think anything on Parachutes can match Fix You, Clocks, The Scientist, etc etc etc.Can't disagree with that. So favourite Coldplay song?

If I was pushed I'd say Clocks. :D

[MarcLister]

Hmm I know what you mean. The Scientist is good as is Fix You. Coldplay have so many good songs it is very hard to choose a favourite. Have you ever seen the video of the old guy singing Fix You? Was meant to be a duet with another guy, both of whom were suffering heart failure. Unfortunately one of them died before the video was filmed giving the video an extra emotional edge and some of the dead guy's family can be seen in the vid crying.

[MarcLister]

:D:D:D

[PvtPyle]

not controversial, just wrong :p It was more raw, more untouched, but experience and maturity bring something of a different class to Martin's voice and lyrics. I don't think anything on Parachutes can match Fix You, Clocks, The Scientist, etc etc etc.

How a classic like Fix You can be classed as 'running out of ideas' just staggers me.

Ah, I didn't say they didn't still have moments of greatness. I'm not going to win this one, and I won't try to, but I do think Parachutes was more exploratory in terms of the way the songs are written and 'built'. X & Y, IMO, is a bit more like the Chris Martin show with a studio band.

And the best Coldplay track is clearly Yellow :)

[Pumpkinstew]

Clocks and The Scientist were on Rush of Blood though weren't they?
I tend to agree with Pvt Pyle as in many ways Speed of Sound was Clocks the remix and given the coice I'd listen to Parachutes over X&Y.

Clocks is just about the perfect pop song though so I can understand trying to write another like it.

[MarcLister]

Clocks and The Scientist were on Rush of Blood though weren't they?.I think Kitten was saying that Clocks and The Scientist were more mature songs and that Parachutes couldn't really match them in that respect.

[Flibster]

Can I be controversial and say Coldplay's first album was the best, and by the 3rd they'd started to run out of ideas?

Always thought they had run out of ideas during the first album...

I'm back with the blues - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Live at Carnegie Hall. :D

[MarcLister]

Always thought they had run out of ideas during the first album...DURING?! :huh:

[PvtPyle]

Stevie Ray is awesome. A fine choice flibster :D

[MarcLister]

Ah ha. :D

[Flibster]

Flibster has no taste, it's a generally accepted fact. :p

Not true!

I just have a more mature taste, I can't remember when I last bought a CD from a modern group/artist/band...

I have been listening to 1920's Jazz on 78's recently. :p

Coldplay and that range of 'artists' need to have their own music festival... Bland Aid.

*edit*
Actually - mature isn't the right word... eccentric.... better.

[Creature]

The first minute of Shredisode IV.....over and over again. The rest of the song's crap but the first part is awesome.

[Nutcase]

And the best Coldplay track is clearly Yellow :)

Agree 100% :)

Just watched (and listened to of course!) disc 1 of Pulse.

ODB - got your money
(on last.fm)

[loki]

Embarrassed to say this but I am just learning to appreciate Led Zepplin. They are awesome. That's all that needs saying about them. Like DaveyPitch said a few days ago, 30 Seconds to Mars is a very good album, and am also giving some good air time to Puscifer

[MarcLister]

I shall shortly be listening to a debut album. A new artist I have discovered by the name of Project Lumino aka HollyThirtyFive. :DAnd it was very good! :D

Ha ha clunk :p

[Nutcase]

Oh god I LOVED Transvision Vamp.

Baby I don't care :p

Actually that's the only one of theirs I know...

bought the album for that and it had good reviews.

[MarcLister]

Ha ha clunk :p:o What bit made me a clunk? The Pink Floyd bit?

[Nutcase]

Nah my head fell off.

Sorry.

[MarcLister]

Oh. :D

[Nutcase]

Don't worry, it won't happen again :)

Now got classic Meatloaf on - Bat out of Hell album :)

[Flibster]

Embarrassed to say this but I am just learning to appreciate Led Zepplin. They are awesome. That's all that needs saying about them.

Currently listening to them live at the O2 arena. ;)

Bootleggers rock!

[MarcLister]

Don't worry, it won't happen again :)

Now got classic Meatloaf on - Bat out of Hell album :)Got that. Got all three actually. :D

[Nutcase]

Ditto :) And welcome to the neighbourhood (relatively crap tbh), and a couple of singles. Saw the big fella live on the everything louder tour in 199something. Damn he puts on a show :D

[MarcLister]

Just got his BOOH trilogy. Which is your favourite?

[Nutcase]

The first one I think. Back into Hell is pretty damn good in its own way though. Can't say I was overly struck with number 3. Favourite song on all 3 is probably paradise by the dashboard light, but there's just too many to choose from to be 100%. Two out of 3 ain't bad, Bat out of Hell, I'd do anything for cheese, life is a lemon, I love them all :D

[MarcLister]

Not sure on my favourite song off all three but I think I like the third album the mostest. :o

And the Brian May song off the third one is my fav off that album. :D

[Stan_Lite]

Currently listening to the album "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis. Nice bit of laid back jazz to chill out to (you can't get much more laid back than this :D).

[Jasper]

yndi halda - Dash and Blast

[MarcLister]

The Killers - Sam's Town.

[Stan_Lite]

Currently listening to the album "Very Best of Jethro Tull" by (oddly enough) Jethro Tull. A splendid blend of folk and rock with a little blues thrown in for good measure - niiiice :)

With some surreal and amazing lyrics:

Roots To Branches

Words get written. Words get twisted.
Old meanings move in the drift of time.
Lift the flickering torches. See gentle shadows change
the features of the faces cut in unmoving stone.
Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening.
Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.

True disciples carrying that message
to colour just a little with their personal touch.
Home-spun fancy weavers and naked half-believers
Crusades and creeds descend like fiery flakes of snow.
Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening.
Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches.

In wet and windy priest-holes. Grand in vast cathedrals.
High on lofty minarets or in the temples of doom.
I hope the old man's got his face on.
He'd better be some quick change artist.
Suffer little children to make their minds up soon.
Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening.
Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches.
Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches.

[Feek]
