Hello, my name is Rain (sniff) and I'm part of the Chris Martin fan club.
*DiSers clap unenthusiastically*
And I just don't get Fiery Furnances.... *sobs*
DiS. "Er, thanks for sharing."
It's OK. Admit your failings. We're here to help.

*eeek!*
I can't understand the fuss about Interpol
*Yikes*

I also think the Who are terrible, terrible shit. (Although Keith Moon was the exception)
I think Pet Sounds is a mediocre album at best.
Post-rock a la Mogwai & Slint is dull dull dull.
I really like Steely Dan. And Queen.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I've got no love for Jeff Buckley. His voice is annoying.
(This thread rocks)
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I agree. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld*: 'What's the deal with Pet Sounds?'
*maybe
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Kleeb, that's probably because you're missing the subtleties in post-rock, the ebb and flow in the construction of the music. You probably need something as facile as singing and choruses and verses to like a song. Hehehe.

I don't think Keane are half as bad as they're made out to be on here, they're just boring.
I liked the Libs and I'm probably going to buy the Babyshambles album.
I think the Mars Volta are worse than the Noise Next Door.
And, I'm not at all ashamed of any of the things I said!

I also love Jive Bunny. I am proud of this.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
It was quite fun watching him pretend to be mixing when you could see he was still playing the same CD but it sounded exactly like Jive Bunny. Or maybe Jive Bunny was his mate and lent him the CDs, who can say.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
On those nights I always assumed he'd pre-mixed his set to MD and was running it under the counter! :D
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Get the Grey Album if you like the Black Album, its brilliant :)
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem

Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I like lots of bands that have a reputation for dullness. Keane especially, but also Thirteen Senses and Snow Patrol.
I sometimes feel very out of my depth with all you hipsters on DiS. I don't dislike the really cool bands, I just haven't heard much or any of their stuff.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I like the Libertines.
I think Oasis are the best British band of the last 15 years.
Interpol bore me.
I'm sorry! *Breaks down in tears*
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Phil Collins has more talent in his little finger. Fact.

The pixies are a bit of a laugh but not to be taken seriously.
I quite like the libertines, and the music, and the zutons, and the coral and I really like Sleeper.
I also maintain the Dark Side of the Moon is the best Pink Flloyd album.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem

Really Theo put your posts at the end. Tchh!
I only went to Trash once and I hated quite literally everything about it so much I've never been back since. They probably don't want the likes of me there anyway.
Oh god Sleeper, I'd blanked them out of my mind. Unfortuately I have to confess to having liked them back in the day. Gah.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Anyhoo...
Trash was great when it started at Plastic People (97ish?) I thought. Then the second venue was kind of where it all began to change and now it's at The End it's just too much, though Rory's second room offerings always used to be cool.
I know Erol through mutual school mates and in those days used to go out with them a lot so the club was fun for reasons aside from music.
I think 'inbetweener' still sounds pretty good, much as I'd like to claim coolness! :-D
I have a complete Dire Straits collection from years back somewhere at home. I still quite like the first two albums when I occasionally put them on while visiting mum's place. :-/

Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Is this wrong?
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I don't know why, but I've got a good idea, that we'll meet again some day
Etc
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
i jus cant appreciate 3 mins of the same three notes being strummed. maybe its having a pulse that does it
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
3 mins of the same chord doesn't sound like any post-rock I listen to...
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
and by post-rock, i mean like Mogwai and Mono, not stuff like Dirty Three or GY!BE, or smaller bands like The Exploits of Elaine and Lyca Sleep, who actually have more to their music than pedal changes
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Another one (although i never liked them)who got lumped in under them same banner:
Catatonia.
Ceyrs' singing (if you can call it that) was a crime against music.
Actually went to see echobelly on their recent tour. It was erm 'interesting'.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
... that was a good time !
I'll admit to like Embrace and even to have seen them live twice ( in Paris, there was 80 people ).
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
And i have the Jeevas albums !

Funny thing is that new band The Little Flames sounds a lot like Salad ( which is good ).

Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Marijna Van der Vlugt was the Salad singer's name and I thought she was a fine looking lady as well.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
I do listen to Radio 2 and SAGA though. Wogan is better than Moyles anyday (though you probably guessed this) and SAGA is good if I need a Carpenters fix. Strike three!

Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
however, i do like the first stereophonics album (in a hardly listen to it but appreciate when i do way). As in, reckon its about as good as say, Grace, or any other (deservedly) critically acclaimed, but slightly mentally hyped work.

i saw them live last year, and it is definitely the Best Gig I Have Ever Been To.
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
Personally I love the Specials, Madness, Bad Manners etc a la 2nd wave of ska. Lip up fatty!!
Re: 1st Step of Recovery Is Admitting Your Problem
the specials, selecter, skatalites, bodysnatchers, bad manners, rico etc. i love it. just that third wave stuff is more catchy and i probably like it a little bit more.
