Travis - Love Will Come Through

It's just waiting for you...


as far as i know theyve done nothing else decent.

Turn back time by Aqua - evil evil band


how to be dead, and

somewhere a clock is ticking by snow patrol as well.


that one by

circa survive, i think the other stuff is shite!


How To Be Dead

also! But the rest of SnowPatrol is pretty irrelevant.


wrong.

songs for polarbears & when its all over are both superb.


rock me amadeus

by falco


yes yes yes!

this is such a good shout.


But he only had

one song...


This is good,

can't say I've heard much of his other stuff though.


^^^

much respect be due


immigrant song


That's the only Zep song you like?

Say it ain't so!


^^

me too.

i don't Not like the rest, i just get bored by it.


The Trooper

by Iron Maiden.


Take That - Rule The World

Yeah, big whoop wanna fight about it?


club foot- kasabian

i used to love kasabian though


^ this


Dice

by Finley Quaye.


New Years Day by U2

Horrible horrible band, great song. Also stumble and fall by razorlight is n't that bad.


amazing tune


this very one

i couldn't find it for ages, because the yanks call it "bleed american".


it was called bleed american

before 9/11 then they renamed the album and song

or some other political correctness gone mad situation like that


To the max


This too is good,

although I did also quite like pain in my younger teenage years.


ha

i used to love that too that particular song only


Teen Age Riot

*ducks*


Luna - Lovedust


Some Kasabian single...

Cut Off, i think, And Kaiser Chiefs, You Can Have It All.


snow patrol

olive grove facing the sea
stereophonics-dakota


lily allen

nan you're a window shopper


Audioslave

Cochise.


Killers

When You Were Young
it's meatloaf-tastic


liars

there's always room on the broom


The Killers

Mr. Brightside.

I can't help it.


she moves in her own way

it just has good memories for me


marina gasolina

bonde do role.


cronic town

REM


...Chronic Town EP?

...that's 5 songs then...


bruce springsteen

born to run


cant believe

no-one's bagged 'The Rat' by The Walkmen yet


I will then.

I have Bows & Arrows and everything else (aside from maybe Thinking Of A Dream I Had) just grates on me 'cause of his voice.


ABBA

Does Your Mother Know. Unclean!


snow patrol

actually.
everyones set me off thinking and ive had another listen. olive grove facing the sea is awesome


so is all that album

when it's all over we still have to clear up is absolutely brilliant

if there was a "one album you adore by a band you otherwise think are rubbish", that'd be mine


Fuck me

Of Snow Patrol's back catalogue and itt's that crock of shit you like and not something like Starfighter Pilot?

Err, 'Trains To Brazil'


Agreed

Trains to Brazil


sonic youth

sunday. tried to get into them, just wasn't working for me.


hmm

thats probley one of there worse songs
listen to GOO for a bit of light sonic youth entertainment or
daydream nation


I'd say...

EVOL is the most accessible, personally. Plus I fail to see how anyone can deny that Expressway to Yr. Skull is a fantastic song...


Liars- Pure Unevil

Have to agree with Bradford Cox, one of the best love songs ever. Too bad the album blows.


teddy picker


I was horrified

when I heard this really catchy pop song on the radio about 18 months back and it turned out to be by fucking Keane. That 'Is It Any Wonder?' one.

*Hangs head in shame*


whistle for the choir

i also second mr brightside, she moves in her own way and trains to brazil (although i don't think guillemots are actually rubbish, just a bit boring in general). and also the original post, although i admittedly also like one or two other snow patrol songs as well.


whistle for the choir

is my favourite fratellis song too. i like them in general though.

there's LOADS of good snow patrol songs.


I have a soft spot for

I'm Not Sorry by Pigeon Detectives.
Shit shit band though.


wow - interesting thread

i can't believe all the hate for snow patrol :(

naive by the kooks for me.


My Vitriol

Always: Your Way

It just reminds me of being at school


^

so seconded


actually

i like my vitriol, so most of the album! i never really got why they just re-released it with the american mix, no need.
although the US mix of the holy bible..amazing


Madonna - Ray of Light

.


Frank Sinatra

- Cake


Stereophonics

Local Boy in the photograph. How did a band that produced that get so shite?


'I wanna be adored' Stone Roses.

A diamond in a legacy of shit.


Yep

that guy is obviously crackers


A Few

Thursday - Counting 5-4-3-2-1
CSS - Lets Make Love
The Walkmen - The Rat
Burial - Archangel


There are so many of these

One of my mottos for life is that every band, no matter who they are, is capable of one moment of utter brilliance. It's why I try not to write bands off in their entirety. Apart from Battle. They're never not going to suck.


Wrong wrong wrong wrong

Wrong wrong wrong wrong
You're wrong.


About Battle?

I'm really not.


Oh, you are.

Demons is lush.


ugh


Magic Hour

Cast


pleasures dont get guiltier than this

Who Needs Love off razorlight's second album. Oh dear.

The Evens - Minding Ones Business
CSS - Lets Make Love And Listen To Death From Above
Deep Purple - Hush
Stevie Wonder - Superstition


Mine would be.

Megalomaniac- Incubus
Killing In The Name Of- Rage Against the Machine

arctic monkeys - brianstorm

coldplay - shiver


sad but true

Alone - Heart


Counting Crows

Perfect Blue Buildings.


Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

...though it pains me to admit it.

Is 'Maybe Someday' by the Ordinary Boys the one that's all proper ska and it has the bits where it stops and goes "1-2!".

If so, that one too.


definitely

somewhere only we know by keane. A wonderful song by a pitiful band.


James - Laid


apart from

'just like fred astaire'


'Sometimes' and 'Sound' by James

are have joined 'Tomorrow' outside. Bearing sticks.


I'll take them on

tell kenicke I want a piece of them as well, because they were fucking crap.


I can see

that 'PVC' just rode over the hill in a Sherman tank.
