No kidding?

It's always bit forced picking just one but if I had to....I guess Joy Division.

Some of mine...

Prince
Asian Dub Foundation
Led Zep
Beatles
Rush
Boards of Canada
The Clash
Neil Young
The Cure
Bowie
XTC (such a shame they seem to have split up)
Sufjan Stevens
Spearhead
Roots Manuva
Gorillaz
Modest Mouse
Joy Division
Leftfield
Jurassic 5
Elbow

But my all time favourite would have to be...Massive Attack

For me, no other band was as much fun to see live as this one.

Try this one for urban funk, Mexico City stylee...

That's never your favorite band??

At first I just felt slightly nauseous, but then my fucking ears started to bleed!

Erm.....If you say so.

This guy was on my list. Would probably make top 5. I believe he would be absolutely huge, if it wasn't for his complete lack of personality. The bloke is so painfully shy, it was almost embarrassing when I saw him live. He can't even look at the audience, and mutters quietly to himself. If he was an outgoing fun bloke, I reckon he would be big business. Shame really.





If you want to know what I meant about being shy!! Cracking track though.



Fuck it one more. This blokes voice does me in.

Good shout DB..The Mod father say no more

Well here's the funniest artist by far.

Probably the Pixies and PJ Harvey.

I gotta put Kings of Leon in mine
The new album is shit apart from this one,but I've loved everything else theyve done

I think all their albums have been great, they're in my top 5, but for me they are two different bands. One that made the first two albums, and then another that mellowed and commercialised, and made the rest. I would give anything for them to have stayed as raw as they were in the beggining.

One of them said recently, that he can't even listen to the first albums anymore, because he thinks they're so bad. They just wanted to go in a complete different direction, was it comletely artistic, or completely money orientated. Or probably a combination of the two.

My fave off the latest.



One of my faves of the early stuff.

Sorry, but their latest is utter dogshit. Listened to it twice and haven't given it a second thought since. I used to love KOL, my favourite is actually their third, where I thought they peaked. It's all downhill from here I'm afraid.

Yeah, they're like a wonderful drug. A bit mystifying at first, but the more you experience the better the experience.

This is awesome as well.

Much much better than the other one.

I can understand why a lot of people might say that. I guess it all depends on how big a fan you were in the first place. If they're one of your top 5 favourite artists of all time, it's not going to be easy to find one of their albums 'dog shit'. If you're that big a fan, and think Caleb Followill's voice is that good, you're still going to enjoy a slightly bellow par album.

I tend to like one song from each of their albums, so I'll be happy when they're made 10 so I can do a 'Greatest Hits' package.

Iggy & the Stooges. Blueprint for the next 40 years
