Nelly Terraces Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 My 2008 picks: Caribou - psychedelic pop genius from Dan Snaith. Strawberry Whiplash - jesus and mary chain meet my bloody valentine for a dust up on pop pills type gear. Ipso Facto - stark, tight, film noire-esque sub 60's sound from stylish all women band. M.I.A - techno, jabbering ethnic rap, pop and guns going off. Sounds like a record made walking down Lewisham high street. Cheers pop pickers.

Alan_R Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Alexisonfire (I'm going to include Dallas Green's solo stuff in there too, even though it sounds entirely different)Capdown Jimmy Eat World The King Blues New Found Glory I like a hell of a lot of other stuff too, varying from classical to thrash metal to drum 'n' bass, but those five probably define the type of bands I listen to the most. Have you ever listened to Frank Turner's solo album? Sorta folky, but it's brilliant. Jimmy Eat World and NFG good calls, started listening to them when i was around 11/12 (about ten years ago, are they that old!? ) got me into the sort of music im into now. Yeah Frank Turner is a top bloke met him a few times. Did you see him when he played at bannermans? He has a new album out too. I've been meaning to get it. FRANK TURNER, acoustic singer song writer. Anyone whos not heard him should check him out. I think he has one of those sounds that would appeal to alot of people. Its pretty chilled out and he has good lyrics. type 'frank turner' in on youtube for a few videos or have a look on his site: http://www.frank-turner.com/ or myspace: http://www.myspace.com/frankturner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flimsy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Good shout with Manic St. Preachers and Biffy. But pre-2008 Biffy is so much better. You heard their first 3 albums? As I've said my tastes are somewhat mainstream, I downloaded some early Biffy Clyro stuff and found much of it a bit heavy for my tastes. I can see why their new stuff has made the mainstream as it is more melodic and therefore more accessible to the masses. Similarly, I prefer the Manics late 90s stuff to their early 90s stuff which I found a bit over-political, still good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair enough, I wouldn't say it was heavy but it is definately not as easy on the ears. Least you tried some people don't even realise they have previous albums.

this_is_my_story Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Cannae help thinking (and I'm not that old, only 33!) that there's a fair bit of "Ooh, look at me, I like all these bands that you haven't even heard of" style snobbery on this thread, as if it somehow makes the poster cooler or more 'down with it'!! Honestly can't believe that The Stones have only merited a few mentions on a thread like this:confused: Anyway... in no particular order: The Rolling Stones (the greatest rock band ever, don't even bother arguing!) James Brown Primal Scream Michael Jackson Prince Have also been a big fan of House ever since going to raves (despise that word now!) around 1991 or so. Nowadays, prefer stuff like Masters At Work, DJ Sneak and quality USA produced stuff, and DJ's like Tony Humphries, Frankie Knuckles etc. Really don't like a lot of these daft labels & categorisations, but I like a lot of the so-called 'G-Funk' stuff as well that came out around the mid-nineties - have most of the well known and obvious stuff from Snoop, Warren G and the likes, but would like a few pointers to more stuff like this if anyone has any suggestions, so Cheers in advance!

Love my music but don't think that is the case to be honest. Most of the bands mention reoccure on at least a few of the lists.

Honestly can't believe that The Stones have only merited a few mentions on a thread like this:confused: I had the same feeling but then realised that I'm an old duffer with no idea of what's goin' down with the yoof, innit. I wonder, though, in 20 years whether the same people would have the same defining musical tastes. Finally, the Stones aren't the greatest rock band ever. It's a scientific fact so no argument. Sorry. They aren't even the greatest rock band with houses on Richmond Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
