MUSIC .... What's on your playlist at the moment ??

[Yossarian]

I just don't get the mystique they have. I can see why at the time they were so big, and why some of their songs move people.
However their songs, and admittedly I have only heard a portion of their catalogue, don't do it for me.
I'm not being deliberately contrary, just my opinion.
I don't hate listening to the Beatles but I wouldn't seek them out.

[Scottt]

Something?
Long and Winding Road?
Here Comes the Sun?
Strawberry Fields Forever?
A day in the Life?

Amazing tunes.

I agree to an extent about their bubblegum pop tunes. Fun to listen to, but not much substance, but the above songs are indescribably good... in my opinion.

[Yossarian]

I'll find the beatles cd a mate gave me and listen again. Its a best of so it should have those on it?

I really want to like them but just can't.

.. they are if you like progressive rock

[Scottt]

I remember the bass player from Everclear was a huge Dreamtheatre fan, but for some reason I could never be arsed looking into them.

Who else fits under that banner?

Btw my w key is broken so I'm using copy and paste for the moment.
Apologies for any trouble that may cause. For example spelling who is a real bugger.

[Scottt]

Just use v instead, you'll just sound German is all.

"vhere vould I find a viskey?"

[Jarro]

Who else fits under that banner?

Well, they draw from the older prog bands like Yes/Rush/King Crimson .. bands like that.

Look at the link in my signature and check out the songs there on youtube.

[Yossarian]

Jethro Tull?

[Jarro]

Yes i believe they were fans on the Tull.

I settled on my Top 10 for Hottest 100 voting:

* Neighbourhood #2 (Laika) - Arcade Fire
* Waltz #2 - Elliott Smith
* Come As You Are - Nirvana
* Corduroy - Pearl Jam
* Gouge Away - Pixies
* This Mess We're In - PJ Harvey & Thom Yorke
* New Race - Radio Birdman
* How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead
* Staring At The Sun - TV On The Radio
* Breathe Me (Fourtet Remix) - Sia

Pretty happy with it. I'll be surprised if many (or any besides Nirvana) get in though...

Had Van Morrison's "Still on Top: Greatest Hits" on shuffle all week - nice!

Change of Radiohead song??

I must admit I love Corduroy. Awesome song and one of the highlights in their catalogue after Ten for me.

I have been pondering my own top 10 list and will probably post one up here soon, though it will likely be a work in progress, just like the top 10 albums for a desert island was.

[Yossarian]

The version of corduroy from the "on two legs" live album is awesome.

[AlexMc]

I listened to Kid A and Amnesiac the other day and fell in love with 'How To Disappear Completely' all over again...might be a passing fad, but who can come up with a definite list of your favourite 10 songs any way? Almost substituted it for "You and Who's Army?" as well...

[adlo]

That's the thing, thinking about my list now and most of it would be amazing songs I have heard in the past year.

Re Extreme

Cupid's Dead is my favourite track on that album, great vibe to that song

Jarro, if I had to pick a favourite track from 3 Sides, it would probably be Rest In Peace.

I've listened to Waiting for the Punchline now too, which is more hardcore. I'm not really connecting with it or any of the tracks.

The best track for me off this album would be Hip Today, but the album was played a lot less than the others.

The other being Pornograffitti. I really like this one too, with more of the glam guitar rock. Get The Funk Out gets the nod for the best track. The only song I can't get into is When I First Kissed You. What were they thinking putting this on the album? It just doesn't belong.

I haven't had a good listen to their original self-titled album or 2008's Saudades de Rock yet, but they sound okay so far.

V - Van She (my first impression is good)

Van She are ok, that albums has got some really weak tracks though

I don't think there are some really weak tracks at all. To me, it is a really consistent album, but it lacks really good songs, which is what Cut Copy have. I definitely liked it though. It Could Be The Same and Talkin' are my faves.

Rock Steady - No Doubt
Return of Saturn - No Doubt

I grabbed the rest of the No Doubt discography too, but haven't got to them yet.
I liked all of Rock Steady (which included a collaboration with Prince that I didn't know about), while Return of Saturn didn't do it for me at all, except for the tracks that were hits.

..and by popular demand, OK Computer - Radiohead

I had a lie down with the Ipod and gave it a listen (although I didn't get all the way through), and I can appreciate that it sounds better (except for Fitter Happier which will always be crap), but I'm never going to listen to music on my bed, so I guess it's not really for me. I do still like the better known tracks from the album though (Paranoid Android, Karma Police, No Surprises).

Current rotations:
Eon - Grafton Primary
LadyHawke - LadyHawke
PNAU - PNAU

[AlexMc]

Has anyone bought the Collectors or Limited Editions of Pablo, Bends or OK? The Collectors edition has a bonus CD and DVD, Limited just a bonus disc. Worth buying (again)?

No help here, sorry.
