What Are You Listening To?

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

We Are Scientists - After Hours - I bloody love that song! :)

And also, Set Your Goals, i've had them on my PC for ages, but only just got round to listening to them. 'Mutiny!' sounds a good album :thumbs:

[terrier 4 life]

We Are Scientists were great at Leeds, I was right at the front and getting mashed by f#cking pushing from the back though, was not impressed.

I have never once felt the need to stab myself in the arm after a long session of Joy Division, The Smiths, Radiohead or any other band that should apparently force me to do so.

This Charming Man- The Smiths (L)

[Drinky_07]

I have never once felt the need to stab myself in the arm after a long session of Joy Division, The Smiths, Radiohead or any other band that should apparently force me to do so.

I agree. And I dont think anyone on here comes across as a musical genius or conoissuer for that matter.

[tottivillarossi]

Underoath - A Fault Line A Fault of Mine.

I was lying. I was lying. I was lyyying. Superbbbbbbbb.

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

I think it would be a reasonable statement that a lot of bands become more, I daresay 'successful' just more widely known I think, when the lead singer dies/commits suicide.

Nirvana, Joy Division etc. are no exception :)

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

Drowning Pool have just gained a new fan.

The fact their lead singer killed himself makes me more intrigued ;)

See what's happening here... :rolleyes:

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I really enjoy listening to Radiohead, whilst I can listen to The Smiths (I have 1 album of theirs and have lsitened to the majority of their other stuff) but Joy Division for me arent anything special.

Joy Division > The Smiths > Radiohead IMO.

But then again I've never got into Radiohead. The Smiths were great but Joy Division there's just something special about them the way they manage to create mood within their songs and everything. Okay they may have got a little over-hyped like a lot of things but they were a truely great band. Without them we wouldn't have bands like Interpol or Editors for example.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Radiohead > Smiths > Joy Division

At first I never got into Radiohead until I really gave all of their music a good listening to, and now Radiohead is one of my favourite bands.

Although, you couldnt say without them we wouldnt have had Interpol & The Editors, they would've just influenced them, not directly based off them im sure.

Interpol and Editors definately base their sound on Joy Division, that cavernous, deep echoing sound that they all use.

but I love all 3.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

They would only be an influence, whats the point in being a band if your gonna copy someone elses sound lol

I love you xx

And, Stone Sour, Bother & Through Glass, amazing songs.

[Dr. Nick]

Not that I don't like JD, just doesn't hit me like Radiohead or The Smiths do.

[Drinky_07]

Listening to quite a few of The Strokes songs. Thank you Niall for recomending some songs I now love them :love:

[tottivillarossi]

I agree with Dr. Nick. I don't like any of those 3 bands mind, I just love Nick :p
Tbf, a lot of the bands I listen to are influenced by The Smiths, Brand New, Thursday etc.

[Grizfoot]

Mystery Jets - Twenty One

A cracking second album from them. Not one weak song on the album, lots of very catchy songs as well. Here's a few songs from it:

Mystery Jets feat Laura Marling - Young Love
qz-FoGp3p0s

Mystery Jets - Veiled In Grey
icIDMX7o8j8

[Winning Days]

Eventually got The Strokes third album, 'First Impressions of Earth' which I'm delightfully listening to now. :) Supposedly they're bringing out a new album early 09, so a tour please!

[thersonli1keano]

Radiohead just > Smiths > Joy Divison
Gotta agree with that, in terms of who are my favourite band anyway. I reckon Radiohead, The Strokes and The Smiths are all equal as my favourite musical artists.

[Winning Days]

Gotta agree with that, in terms of who are my favourite band anyway. I reckon Radiohead, The Strokes and The Smiths are all equal as my favourite musical artists.

The Strokes, Joy Division and The Libertines are mine. Closely followed by the likes of Radiohead, The Smiths, The Vines & The Velvet Underground.

Favourite solo artists are like Iggy Pop, Bowie & Lou Reed.

:)

[neb]

Now: Savage - Gettin' By
Next: Lil Wayne - A Milli

[terrier 4 life]

Bloc Party and the Smiths are tied as my favourite musical artist, I just can't choose between them.

The likes of Radiohead, Joy Division, the Strokes, the Cribs, Libertines, Oasis, Modest Mouse and Arctic Monkeys are up there too.

[Jimmy Jazz]

My favourite band are the Doors. Hitherto, I never thought I'd say any band other than the Libertines were my favourite, but I've never connected to a band as quickly as I did with the Doors.

My sort of inner circle would be: the Stooges, the Doors, the Kinks, the Velvets, the Libertines, the Smiths and the Clash.

[M4ttst3r]

I couldn't name my outright favourite band, considering how often it changes. I suppose an artist that I'd always feel like listening to would fit that bill, but I haven't come across any of them yet.

But, generally, some of my favourites at the moment are Atmosphere, the Decemberists, and 65daysofstatic.

See, I know a lot of people like that, who have a new favourite band every week or so (I'm not sure whether yours is quite to the extent of that, to be fair).

I find it weird. To me, it was a really big deal to call a band other than the Libertines my favourite. It takes a lot of listening to even breach my so called inner circle.

Well, it's not as excessive as the people who listen to a different genre every month – my musical taste is quite clearly defined (pretty much hip-hop and folk-influenced stuff. Oh, and 65 who are crazy).

Like I said, I don't really have one outright favourite, which is why they're a bit changeable. But not actually that changeable, since I sort of have an 'inner circle' like you say. Generally I just go through listening to a few artists from my inner circle more than others, and since I don't have one favourite band this kind of constitutes a favourite.

sure, that made sense

If you had asked me last week, DTGL would have been the best album I had heard (along with Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest by As Cities Burn) but DTGL slips down to third, and their latest album Lost In The Sound of Seperation is effin brilliant! Makes DTGL look like childs play ;)
To Whom It May Concern is the best song from that album btw :) but Writing on the Walls is my favourite :D I thought Underoath were a bit heavy for you lol :p

Fall of Troy - DoppelgangerF.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. :thumbs: Good album in general though :D

The Audition - Don't Be So Hard. Quite literally, their best song. The acoustic version is quite good aswellI'd say Dance Halls Turn To Ghost Towns, and You've Made Us Conscious are better :p And they're also shiat live, the worst band i've ever seen (except Hadouken!) :lol:

No, you're most definitely wrong ;) It's all opinions, of course :D Fashion Hour is also good, from the All In Your Head EP

Some more Cannibal Corpse lyrics;

from "Entrails from a virgin's c*nt"

Internally bleeding
Vagina, secreting
her blood-wet p*ssy
I am eating
on her guts I am feeding
Mutilated with a machete
I f*cked her dead body
The first and last
Your life's only romance
My knife's jammed in your ass
As you die you orgasm

How.. lovely? :o

[Mousey]

I personally prefer "I Cum Blood" Harry:

"Swollen with liquid
Ready to burst
A load of my lymph
Will quench this dead body's thirst
One month in the grave
twisted and half decayed
She turned a putrid yellow
I p*ssed in her maggot filled assh*le"

and

"I cum blood from my erection
I feel it run
down her throat, swallow
Eyes glassy and vacant
body dug up to play with
Skin greasy and naked
tounguing her rotted anus"

Oh yeah :love:

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

Yeah, that was posted earlier in the thread though :p

Gotta love those lyrics :lol:

Right, cause a band can't change their style a little bit without being branded 'sell outs'. How pathetic. Very few bands have a discography where every album sounds the same, bands change, the members of the band change, the music they make changes, they are not sell outs for it.
Brand New went from Pop-Punk, to a more slightly Post-Hardcore(ish) sound, to a more alternate sound, yet I've never met one of their fans who say they 'sold out' and it's because they aint that big (and they really should be huge) As soon as a band becomes big, and their style changes slightly, they are 'sell-outs'. I could write a big bloody long list of bands whose style has changed, why are only some picked out as 'sell-outs'? It annoys the hell out of me! :bw: :cuss: :mad:

[thersonli1keano]

Hmm, what I struggle to understand on this forum, is that after a bit of Joy Division, Smiths, Radiohead and other suicide promoters bumming, everyone seems to jump on the proverbial band-waggon and worship them. Like all bands, they will have been influenced and they will influence others, but to put them in the league of the Beatles etc etc is mental. I can see why people like them I guess, but miserable droning doesn't do it for me, don't patronise me either with i don't know blahdy blahdy blah.

Incidentally, what I seem to find, is because everyone does jump on the whole Joy Division and stab myself in the arm music, they seem to think, that automatically makes them a musical conoisseur and genius and knower of all etc etc. And, its rubbish.

Yes.
I just spotted this post after looking over that discussion the other night.

In a way I get what you mean, I'm not a fan of people who kinda go with bands by their credibility alone. For example everyone seems to praise Queen as one of the best bands ever etc. and I just don't get them.

edit: Although I'd hardly call The Smiths (witty, sarcastic lyrics to brilliant music) and Radiohead (although 'Creep' - their most overated song I take your point with but nout else.) are hardly stab yourself in the arm music.

The Roses spawned the whole 'madchester' scene which subsequently helped influence the 'britpop' era. The whole mixing guitars with dance music like they did was very unique at the time. A lot of modern day bands also cite them as an influence, too.

The Smiths' influences are very wide ranging, stretching from bands like Blur and Oasis to My Chemical Romance.

I can see perhaps their reasoning behind not having the Kinks on that list - I love the Kinks, but fact is the Beatles had a greater influence doing a similar thing at a similar time, maybe meaning they didn't class as 'changing the world'.

The Clash inspired an entire Genre, yet they're not included and The Arctic Monkeys are??

[thersonli1keano]

I thought the same, but Oasis and the Roses both inspired similar types of music, yet they're both on. At the time, though, the two bands weren't thought to be similar, the Beatles were a pop band who experimented with a more psychedelic aspect on Sgt. Pepper. Whereas the Kinks were considered to be one of the heavier acts of the time (it seems strange looking back on it now, as we have Guns N' Roses, etc. who we consider to be 'hard rock').

I wouldn't say the Clash inspired 'punk', either. The Americans were doing it years before us. I just think the Clash did it the best; they also put the political side of things into their lyrics, as well.
By inspired the genre I don't mean they created it, I mean they influenced everyone within that Genre, especially 90s onwards.

What punk bands were still active in the '90s?

I don't really think of the Clash as a punk band, to be honest. The only typical punk album - sound wise - is their self-entitled, with it's fast two minute songs, a-la the Ramones. They still kept it lyrically, but musically I'd say they evolved much more.

Well then, 'post-punk' is a completely different genre to punk. It's much more experimental, the only reason it even has the word 'punk' in it is because it came directly after the punk movement had finished.

I can see why the Arctic Monkeys are in there, musically they haven't inspired anything original but they were the first band to have a lot of success from the whole myspace scene. The way in which we access music is changing and they were at the forefront on this.

Why can't she invent herself an 'e-noose' and drop from a ledge. But the 'e-noose' doesn't need the 'e' in front of it :)

Leave young Kate alone, she's a fine young (fake) cockney woman ;)

I don't mind a few of her songs..

And I think this post belongs in the "Guilty pleasures" thread :D

I find her insufferable. She has an annoying voice. And I don't think she's very talented at all.

Jimi Hendrix - Killing Floor

Totaly differnt to Howlin Wolfs, but just as good. I love Jimi and Wolf.

[Winning Days]

One of the best albums I've ever heard is, 'Iggy Pop - The Idiot' bought it a few month back and instantly fell in love with it. Heavily influenced by Bowie, cause of course he produced it and helped Iggy write the songs and despite only being 8 songs, anyone who is interested in music should own this album. It's a masterpiece.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Link (http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/39454).

I'm suprised by the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, the Specials and even Pink Floyd to an extent. I thought he'd have the Jam, the Roses and the Smiths in there for sure.

Has anyone heard the Verve's new album? I bought Love Is Noise on 7" a few days ago, which I think is really good.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Bee Gees is a really strange one, I'm trying to think of comparisions between the two bands, but there is little.

Bloc Party - Tulips

Eyu3GGKHfJM

Still my favourite Bloc Party song. Not at all into the new album they seem to be getting gradually worse album by album, maybe I just need to listen to it more. But then again Silent Alarm was an almighty debut album to try and produce something better than that would ask a lot.

I think Intimacy is a step forward. I love it, but I was always going to as a massive Bloc Party fan. However, I think that people who want them to release what would essentially be the same stuff over and over again in order to maintain the successful formula from Silent Alarm have the wrong idea- one of the things I love about Bloc Party is their willingness to experiment and the fact that they are willing to change even a successful formula if they think it's for the progression of the band and their unique brand of music.

Intimacy, for me, is an indication of Bloc Party spreading their wings and becoming a better, more rounded band.

There are also less weak tracks on it than there were on the other albums, in my opinion.

[Zabadie]

Dj Shadow-Entroducing

So so so good

Glasvegas

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

It's nice, but there isn't anything that distinguishes them from Bon Iver or Iron & Wine.

Don't take this the wrong way, but is that a good thing? I think we're all a little biased to our favourite bands, but to the extent of thinking they can't make a mistake is a little over the top. They're only human, after all.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Bloc Party really should go back to the style of their albums, dont get me wrong I can listen to it, but it really is boring after a while.

[C Ronaldo 7]

Really don't like Bloc Partys song Mecury, so annoying.

Listening to some Slipknot and Pigeon Detectives recently :)

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Mercury is a good song of that album, the rest are ok-ish, can listen to them.

No, I phrased it badly, what I meant was that I was always going to look upon the album in a favourable light, ie not instantly dismiss it as 'OMGZ CHANGE HANG THEM ALL!!!!111one'

If it was dire, I'd have said that, some of their stuff is IMO pretty poor (awful was too strong)

Also, I've listened to a hell of a lot of Ramones today, like 80odd plays on last.fm from today alone :cool:

To be blunt, it wasn't their best. :( I think they've done albums all for the wrong reasons. First, yes they had time, it was amazing, NME said Craig was the saviour of Rock. But then the second was done as his illness was getting worse, the third was a comeback from his illness and this 4th one is trying to comeback in general. If they had just waited till his illness had been controlled then they could of been brilliant and created amazing album after album.

So there. :p

Daddy's Gone = Legendary. Pity they supported them across the city;)

[norwich4life]

Jimmy cliff, going for a bit of old school reggae!

[thersonli1keano]

To be blunt, it wasn't their best. :( I think they've done albums all for the wrong reasons. First, yes they had time, it was amazing, NME said Craig was the saviour of Rock. But then the second was done as his illness was getting worse, the third was a comeback from his illness and this 4th one is trying to comeback in general. If they had just waited till his illness had been controlled then they could of been brilliant and created amazing album after album.

So there. :p

Still, Glasvegas have nothing on The Vines. Simple babes.
Dunno lad..

Even though English people might like them too, they're definetely more relevant to people living in Glasgow, East End in particular.

And the Jamie Allen's voice is sensational -

(I've probably posted this before but I'm making a point ;))

[Jimmy Jazz]

Ayee, someone from Dragonforce should be in there, but tbf, that list is mainstream ;P
Timmy McTague from Underoath is a bloody phenomenal guitarist aswell, as are the guys from FFAF.
Are you saying Funeral for a Friend aren't mainstream? They've never been outside the top twelve in the charts (album wise) and they have over ten million plays on last.fm.

Underoath have over thirteen million plays and their last album peaked at number two in the States.

Obviously last.fm doesn't denote the popularity of a band (as Radiohead clearly aren't the biggest band ever), but it does give some indication to how known the band are.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Frusiciante is about right I suppose, but Jack White??? Give over :lol:

Suprised to not see Brian May up there aswell.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Jack White is an amazing guitarist. I'm not surprised to see him in the top twenty.

The list also takes into account the guitarist's originality and the ideas they brought to music, as well as they're actual skill, hence why Johnny Ramone made it to number sixteen.

[United Forever]

Bloc Party - Talons.

It's alright I guess:)

Well isnt the best guitarist, about, who plays the guitar best?

It's like you dont have a list on footballers and put a player you wouldnt consider to be the best, just because hes a idol for young kids, would you?

That example isn't the same in any way.

Put it this way - the best bands aren't always the ones who can play their instruments the best, are they?

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

If you have the best songwriter, the best guitarist, the best singer, the best drummer and whoever else who is best, then id consider them to be the best depending on their quality.

I dont understand why just because other bands are 'influenced by you' means that theyre superb, if they cant sing, then they are sh*t lol

Yes, but they (and everyone else) would essentially be playing the same song over and over again...

They might play it perfect every time, but without people bringing in new ideas - music's nothing, really, is it?

And a good voice is the last thing you need. Lou Reed? Bob Dylan?

Umm? I didn't mean to imply that FFAF or Underoath don't have a chance of being in there cause they are not mainstream, cause in their genres, they are most definately mainstream. I was talking about Dragonforce, not FFAF or Underoath. I was just stating that I think Timothy and Kris and Darren are very good guitarists :)

[Grizfoot]

Glasvegas debut album, just out.

Awesome.

Best tracks: It's My Own Cheating Heart, Daddy's Gone, Geraldine, Lonesome Swan, Stabbed.

They've been heavily hyped, kind of feel sorry for them because people have already got high expectations for their debut album.

Despite the terrible name I quite liked their album, very dark and depressing. Well worth a listen.

[C Ronaldo 7]

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo :D

Some Radiohead as well, never listened to them before, but they are pretty good :)

[Winning Days]

Iain, listen to the songs currently on The Vines myspace off their new album, it isn't as bad as people have made out. Quite good actually. www.myspace.com/thevines (http://www.myspace.com/thevines) ;)

You answered my point with the second 'paragraph'. Just because some1 brings a new dimension to music doesnt mean hes the best at guitar, that means the first guy who introduced screamo,rap, etc is automatically good because he did.

[Jimmy Jazz]

He's not the best at playing the guitar, no. I never claimed he was. What I'm saying (or rather, what I've said) is that he deserves credit for creating a new aspect to music, and, in my opinion, that is a lot more impressive than simply being able to play the same old cover songs (which is what people - if we had your concept on the subject - would do) really well.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I dont know how cover songs are brought into this.. most bands can write music I would've thought.

What im saying is that if he just bruing a new aspect to music but was ordinary at palying the guitar, then what? hes still there?

This, along with other things you've said, implies it's about how well they play, rather than what they play.

If no-one ever tried to be different, and no-one had any imagination or creativity (but they were amazing at they're instruments), we'd still be hearing the same (albeit, perfectly played and tuned) songs, i.e. essentially just a cover song.

The list maybe isn't technically the greatest guitarists, I suppose you could say it's more the greatest people to ever pick up the guitar (in their opinion, of course, I'd personally make a lot of changes) in a way, the people who made a difference with it, and didn't just follow everybody else.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

All I've got the say is that the list is indicating the top 100 to ever play the guitar, not the top 100 who made changes, this, maybe, should go into anotherlist

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

Yeah, introducing something doesn't mean they're good, it just makes them original :)

[tottivillarossi]

Jeff Buckley - Eternal Life. This one pushes Hallelujah close for which is my favourite by him :D

Phwoaaaaaaaar yes (L)

I don't think you understand how important individuality is to music, really. You shouldn't look at everything so black and white all the time.

Yeah, introducing something doesn't mean they're good, it just makes them original :)
He wasn't just 'original', he defined an entire genre in it's truest form (Lou Reed was doing the basics about ten years earlier). A great guitarist isn't just about the skill, it's the ideas they have. That's what music is: different people putting their own ideas into something they love.

People who are just technically good at the guitar - but have no ideas of their own - don't go far in the world of music. The best they can hope for is standing in when a member of the band can't play or being in someones backing group - simply being told what to play by people who do have creativity.

I can say it over and over again, but you'll just reply with, 'yeah, but that doesn't make him a great guitarist.'

Yes it does.

[Stretch Mouthstrong]

If someone played something so simple anyone in the world could play it, but nobody had done it before, would that make them one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived?

[tottivillarossi]

Being original doesn't make you great. Saosin are the one of the most original bands on their scene atm, but they are not great. You have to have brilliance to match the originality.

[Jimmy Jazz]

I think we've established I think it does, as I've said (many times) a great guitarist involves more than just skill.

Take into account what kind of music was dominant when the Ramones first started up. It took bravery to try what they did, they were doing it not because they thought all music should be simple, but as a message to people that you can all be in bands. Deep Purple, Hawkwind etc. while they were amazing at what they were doing, they didn't make enough people feel inspired - because if you hadn't been playing the guitar since you were three you had no chance of playing like that. The Ramones didn't just inspire other punk bands, the attitude of trying something new was an inspiration for other new genres.

Being original doesn't make you great. Saosin are the one of the most original bands on their scene atm, but they are not great. You have to have brilliance to match the originality.
Have you ever heard the saying, 'fashion is about standing out and blending in'?

The same applies here.

[Drinky_07]

To make that list you should be both technically brilliant and original. Plenty of guitarists are; Hendrix, Clapton, Satriani, Impellitteri, Malmsteen etc. Kurt Cobain didnt have great techincal abillity nor was he original so how he was at 12 I dont know.

In part I agree with LATW and Jimmy Jazz, there should be a balance between originality and technical ability.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

But that point doesnt make you a great guitarist does it?

If I introduced rapping does that make me the greatist lead singer ever?

What about if I introduced Trance, that make me the best?

I've never claimed the Ramones were the best punk band...

[thersonli1keano]

'Greatest' Guitarist surely means more than just being the most talented at guitar. Great in this context to me is powerful, and influential - greatness is therefore very different from talent, and requires more. Without originality, talent is less likely to be noticed, or acknowledged. And rightly so.

Hence you a balance between your technical ability and your originality and creativity.

It doesn't matter how original you are, if you're not good enough you can't be considered great.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Thats the point I was trying to make, if you are so original, the first man to use a certain style but theirs another 100 people betterthan you, you arent great, your the 101th best, not 11, or 44 just because you invented it.
