Ha ha, Curiosity Killed The Cat....I know a thing or two about their cuntish singer - ha ha ha....the Warhol thing's true though. I was suckered by that video (the song was bleeugh) during the first part of 1987. Don't ask why, please. Just DON'T.

Bloody hell, first you don't like Saxophones in rock music and now your talking trash about Linn drums. Pssshh.

Well, apparently I can get past it in some cases.
At least you didn't take issue with my condemnation of slap bass. I would hate to find out that you are some kind of closet Level 42 fanatic.

Hey, there's nothing crap about the Sisters.

LittlePuppetBoy 06.06.2007 02:14 PM

Mike Lindup on Top of The Pops at the middle-eight bit? Almost as fine as a good session on "Football Manager".

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse.

My Chemical Romance - The first 2 records are just a utter joy. Every moment is laced with shameless pop hooks sung by a singer who sounds like he is just about to fall off the edge. Don't like the new album so much.

System Of A Down - I admit the reason I love Toxicity and this band generally is pure nostalgia. Nothing more to add.

Panic! At The Disco - Something about their strange little songwriting ways melts my little indie heart, fuck knows what the lyrics or the song titles mean, and who cares.

The Bee Gees - Not so much the late falsetto stuff but the 60's stuff is so trippy. Robin Gibb has one of the most original and delicate voices ive yet to hear.

atsonicpark 06.06.2007 04:20 PM

i always tell this story...
before my chemical romance was popular, my ex-girlfriend went to see them and afterwards had dinner with the band and the idiot lead singer, and he was hitting on her the whole time. i hear he's a big douchebag... though apparently the drummer is really nice.

NWRA 06.06.2007 05:08 PM

Ned's Atomic Dustbin... because they're actually great (Happy, Kill Your Television, Grey Cell Green) and I thought the use of two bass guitars was quite interesting.

atsonicpark 06.07.2007 04:17 AM

wow.


i LOVE god fodder. what a just perfect fucking pop album.

some of the lyrics are iffy and the production makes it sound really cheesey at times, but.. kill your television is just so amazing, i mean anyone who likes pavement could dig that song.

I listened to the sun is often out the other day. Both rubbish and brilliant. I'm astonished that people outside of the usual suspects got this thread. Round of applause.

At which point I'd like to point out that there is 1 (and only one) very, very good Chris de Burgh album.

Additionally, someone rep this chap because he has better taste than all of you indie fucktards.

demonrail666 06.07.2007 04:06 PM

Lots of otherwise crap bands have made one decent album. Having said that, I can't think of a single example.
