Ok, so maybe a boring topic, but I am so goshdarned bored I'm gonna give you my top 5 anyway!
1- Radiator (Super Furry Animals)
2- 1977 (Ash)
3- Fuzzy Logic (Super Furry Animals)
4- The Bends (Radiohead)
5- Bring It On (Gomez) OR BloodSugarSexMagik (Red Hot Chili Peppers) OR Dig Your Own Hole (Chemical Brothers)

Of course none of these compare to the glory of MLiR, but Radiator is almost (but not quite) as glorious.

What albums have wetted my whistle this year, I hear you not cry?
How about Idlewild's "100 Broken Windows" and Super Furry Animals's "Mwng".

Sorry, I am soooooo bored.

By th on Tuesday, August 8, 2000 - 10:27 pm:

my favorite album of all time might be jeff wayne's war of the worlds.
There are other albums I like better at some times but I think that one wins on an averaging out type of thing...

By Joe on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 12:39 am:

Hee....


I think mine would be (in no order of preference):

OK Computer - radiohead
Radiator - sfa
This Is Hardcore - pulp
Hunky Dory - God
And....er....gosh. Dunno. Er...
Ummmmmmmm.....er.....
Space?


Only kidding.....er...I'm really finding this tough. I wouldn't say Showbiz because it's too new, and only has limited appeal, unlike the others...and I don't want to repeat bands...I might have said a Kula Shaker one last year, not today however....all the other albums I can think of are good in their own way but nothing that I should feel warrants a top five placing, so I'm contemplating on writing something ironic like Ace Of Base or Space or anything that rhymes with Ace in fact.........oh gosh..Er.....ok.

The Final Album Has Not Yet Been Written Because I Will Write It..This May Seem Egotistical But You Don't Have To Like It, I Do, And If I Didn't There'd Be No Point.


Phew.

By Thurston Moore on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 05:04 am:

At the moment...

1. Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
2. XTRMNTR - Primal Scream
3. Closer - Joy Division
4. In It For The Money - Supergrass
5. Attack Of The Grey Lantern - Mansun

By Bea on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 08:52 am:

Hmmm... mine would be (yes, at the moment, very well said Thurston), in no order:

- Aion: Dead Can Dance
- Strategie de la Rupture: Wim Mertens
- His 'n' Hers: Pulp
- Stone Roses: Stone Roses
- Suede: Suede (boy, all these guys have great imagination for first album titles...)

They may change tomorrow... according to what I feel...

By sarah on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 11:28 am:

Pulp: Different Class
Suede: Dog Man Star
The Smiths: The Queen is Dead
Radiohead: The Bends
The Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground and Nico
SFA: Radiator

OK, that's 6, but who's counting... I can't really choose a Bowie album, because I like tracks of different ones, so I'd include a Bowie Best Of, but that's probably cheating.

By Eddy on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 03:03 pm:

This is a fucking great topic. Our very own chance to be music wankers.

And looking at most choices, it shows we are all very young indeed.

For me,

MC5- Back In The USA

Joy Division- Closer + Unknown Pleasures

Jam- All Mod Cons

Mansun- Grey Lantern

Blur- All

Billy Bragg- Life's A Riot.....

Pixies- Doolittle

Bowie- Diamond Dogs + Low

Grateful Dead- Workingmans Dead

Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers

Love- Forever Changes

Roxy Music- For Your Pleasure

Black Grape- Great When Ya Straight.... Yeah

No doubt I'll add more when I remember more.

Nice choices Thurston.

But, just to add my 2 cents, The Velvet Underground are the biggest load of shit ever. Nico is a shocking album with about 3 good songs. It seems that the music press has told the world that it is good, but it is shite. And many peeps fail to realise that the album paved the way for shit bands to be accepted into the world. Can anyone tell me what is so good about this album please?? (No malice intended for you Sarah, your entry just reminded me of them).

By Eddy on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 03:16 pm:

Oh and,

Pink Floyd- Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

By Bea on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 04:47 pm:

oh right eddy, it was supposed to be 5!!!!
btw, I also love the Pixies' Doolittle

and thanks for calling me young ahahahaha

By confused cazza on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 05:36 pm:

*thinking* maybe my faves album'd be... or I dunno... I know nothing.
I like those albums but I dunno which is the best one..
* Urban Hymns - The Verve
* Celebrity Skin - Hole
*The Bends - Radiohead
god, I just lost my brain. now I don't remember what I like anymore. forget all what I've been saying. oh yeah.. The Bends must be the best of all above. or maybe not. maybe I don't like any of those... I know nothing except that the answer on everything is [radiohead]

By Chris on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 08:17 pm:

Mmmkay, top 5 non-Blur/Coxon albums...
1)Moseley Shoals (Ocean Colour Scene)
2)THis is Hardcore (Pulp)
3)The Menace (Elastica)
4)Fin de Siecle (Divine Comedy)
5)Automatic For the People (REM)

And a new entry on my playlist, Eternal Nightcap by the Whitlams, an amazing Aussie band that Cassy kindly recommended to me. Cheers gal!

And in case anyone's worried, the word "Moseley" is not a reference to the 1930s fascist leader but the town where Ocean Colour Scene are from. (I wasn't going to buy the album until somebody assured me that the band don't actually have far-right tendencies.)

Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine Songtrack

By Kacy on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 02:47 pm:

Yes, these #$&^#ing posts are disturbing. Erm, well: Top 10 then, other than Blur or they'd just about all be Blur, natch. In No Particular Order...

1. Sleater-Kinney/Dig Me Out
2. Elastica/Elastica
3. X Ray Spex/Germfree Adolescents

La la la, how nicey.

By Eddy on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 02:54 pm:

Oh Bea, it doesn't state that it has to be only 5 albums. Just favorite non-Blur albums, except I did fall into the trap of selecting Blur so......

Oh and Lucky, why not buy Revolver and Sgt.Peppers and select them rather than Yellow Submarine, check them out and you'll know what I'm talkin' bout like.

By tam on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 03:41 pm:

wtf was that ian?
aha i'm so confused...normal i know...

By Ian on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 06:23 pm:

No it wasn't me. Well one of them was (posted at 6.48pm yesterday). But the rest were not.
Deserves credit for name-checking "The Family Ness" though.
I have always thought that "Let It Be" was a damn good Beatles album as well and often criminally ignored.
It looks like a Pulp/Radiohead showdown at the moment, with SFA bringing up the rear...
What does Grumpy think of all this though? I miss his slaggings off.

By pantsy on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 06:41 pm:

In no particular order:

This Nation's Saving Grace - The Fall.
A Past Gone Mad (best of 1990-2000) - The Fall.
Star - Belly.
Earth Vs The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts.
Reckless - Bryan Adams.
Volume 1 - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.
RATM - Rage Against the Machine.

By Joe on Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 06:45 pm:

Yes, saying Supergrass are better etc...

...I'd go for Pulp. I've never seen the attraction of OCS, and radiohead are quite good, very good actually just I like Pulp....er...er..er..yeah. Oh I don't know.

Interesting fact: Stuart Maconie is on the radio at the moment, on a programme we don't know, on radio four, where they argue to pass laws about silly things, like mature students and such. One man was quite pornographic about plums.

By Skrooie on Friday, August 11, 2000 - 12:48 am:

Hmmm...in no particular order (besides the first one, which is my favourite album of all time)

The Smiths : Meat Is Murder
Idlewild : 100 Broken Windows
The Smiths : Hatful of Hollow / Louder Than Bombs
New Order : Brotherhood
Teenage Fanclub : A Catholic Education
The Smiths : The Queen Is Dead
Joy Division : Heart and Soul boxset
My Bloody Valentine : Loveless
The Smiths : The Smiths
Suede : Suede
Teenage Fanclub : Thirteen
The Smiths : Rank
Sonic Youth : Goo
Electronic : Electronic
Morrissey : Your Arsenal
The Stone Roses : Stone Roses
Morrissey : Viva Hate


...and more I can't think of right now.

By tam on Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:16 pm:

alrite then...

By Eddy on Friday, August 11, 2000 - 02:50 pm:

btw Tam, why did you give me an ewww comment in one of your posts, was it because of my musical choices. If it was true music ignorance exists.

Skroo, Heart and Soul Boxset is a cracker init.

By Skrooie on Friday, August 11, 2000 - 05:29 pm:

Fuckin right, man.

By Spacegirl on Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:14 pm:

Don't diss Space! Well, at least don't group them with Ace of Base. It's hard enough being a fan as it is. BTW, my fave albums at the moment are:

OK Computer/Radiohead, Coming Up/Suede, Different Class/Pulp, Showbiz/Muse, Americana/Offspring

please please please
zip.to/spacezone

By Joe on Sunday, August 13, 2000 - 11:23 am:

Good choice of albums there Spacegirl. Lack of Space albums is an important thing to note. Although Offspring are quite annoying....

What's zip.to/Spacezone mean? Will I ever master the internet?

By Spacegirl on Sunday, August 13, 2000 - 11:34 am:

Spiders was a good album of it's time.....

zip.to/spacezone is a (quite sad) website I set up when I was about 10! what's really sad is that it only has about 400 hits, but I swear the counters broken. Do I sound delusional?-reading this, I think I might be. oh well. at least we can all agree on one band at least.

By Ian on Sunday, August 13, 2000 - 07:54 pm:

Kula Shaker were so very poorly treated. Sure Crispian was a rich kid, but it wasn't like "Mummy buy me a rock band", when seen live they rocked with the best of them and wrote some glorious numbers such as Hey Dude, 303 and Great Hosanah.
For more information on Kula Shaker contact your local library. Unless you're the bloke who keeps posting all this shite up, in which case stick your finger up your arse.

By Lucky on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 08:59 am:

By the power of Grayskull???

Ha Ha Haaa

By Joe on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 11:23 am:

Hee. Grayskull.

By Eddy on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 02:03 pm:

Hey Ian, Kula Shaker were treated the same way the Sheds and Sleeper were. Now can you see where I am coming from?? All great bands of their time.

Btw, does anyone cept me and Skroo like any bands that were around pre 90's??

By Kacy on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 02:44 pm:

Yeah!
70s and 80s produced some greatness, to be sure.
The Jam, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, X-Ray Spex, The Clash.
And before that there are the immortal Beatles...they are glorified a bit too much I think, but Revolver is AMAZING.

By spacegirl on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 05:11 pm:

I wasn't around pre-90's.......

well 1984 anyway. Although I have developed a love of Bowie thanks to my dad, I also know the words to every song by the Cranberries, Eddie Reader and Roxy Music (thanks so much mum). I HATE MY ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF THE 80S!

By Ian on Monday, August 14, 2000 - 09:58 pm:

No, I refute. Kula Shaker were tops. Shed Seven and co were treated poorly because they were complete b...gah, Ok Ian, stay cool, big open fields, agree to disagree...we can all say what we want, no matter how controversial...

The problem with liking bands pre-90s for me is that I feel some people may go out and buy, say, a Pixies album 'cos they've been mentioned in NME, and buy it to look all crazy and diverse when in fact that don't even like it. I know I will offend many here but I could not bring myself to buy a Smiths album because I really don't like their material.
This is why I hardly buy anything pre-1991 (The year of Leisure). Only two pre-90s acts appear in my record collection, David Bowie and The Clash. This is because I like the music, not so people can come round my house, look through my collection and stroke their beard and go "hmmmm...obscure.".
(I'm not implying that any of you do that, by the way. Just making a point- I hope it's coherent)

By Eddy on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 04:11 pm:

Ian, it is true that the music press do influence many people. Note: Velvet Underground, glorified by the music press, but actually shit. Same with the Clash, very over rated, only a few good songs. The Clash were just a shite rockerbilly band.

The Pixies have some very fine tunes as do the Smiths.

But any music fan in their right mind should have a good collection spanning all eras of modern music, covering diverse genres.

By Ian on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 08:26 pm:

Surely, at the end of the day, Eddy, and I think I'm breaking the world record for most ever commas here, so long as you, the owner, enjoys your record collection, nothing else matters. Fuck what other people say and all that!
C'mon! Lets all join hands and sing...god I don't know...something off MLiR. Works every time. How about...Pressure on Julian!


Well I certainly feel better after doing that! Everybody!

By Indigo/.Spacegirl - yes, it's one and the same! No longer do you have to wonder why we were never photographed together! on Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 05:56 pm:

No, the best anthemic happy song has to be For Tomorrow - I'm sure world peace could be achieved if only everyone in the world would sing la la la la la together - plus, you can sing the chorus when drunk without any of those annoying words to get in your way. The spoken bit tends to be a bit of a problem though. I think it was easily the best song at wembley 99, if only because we were told to "sing up, it's about London".

Come on then! Laa, laa, la la laa, la la la la la la lala

By Lucky standing well back on Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:28 pm:

Ke-ray-zee.

By Ian on Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 06:47 pm:

Oh well of course For Tomorrow is the obvious happy song- I was just trying to be a bit obscure and not go for an obvious number, spacegirl/indigo.

Has anyone heard the Chemical World b-side where they do "Pressure..." at Glasto 92 and smash everything up near the end? It doesn't really translate well onto a recording does it?
And before "Never Clever" on the same single you hear Graham say "pretty boy" and then a girl in the crowd shouts out something along the lines of "who do you think you are..." and it trails off. What can she be saying?
A shiny penny for the lucky lad who can tell me the answer.

By sarah on Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 02:50 pm:

I only have to see the westway (as in 'we're lost on the...') to feel happy and Blurry. I love For Tomorrow, it's so hopeful and sad at the same time...

By Ian on Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 06:18 pm:

There's a wall in Oxford that has "Jhon Major is a puppet" (Yes, it is spelt Jhon) and "So is Roland Rat" Me and Joe like to stand by it, feeling all Modern Life Is Rubbish-y.

By Chris on Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 06:19 pm:

Yup, that's what makes it Blur's best ever song (probably). I'm going to visit the places namechecked in the song if I'm bored when in London, and see what the view from Primrose Hill is really like. That song is a guaranteed pick-me-up when I'm feeling down and yet manages to be a little sobering - and the brass section on the extended version kicks ass! I love it!

By indigo on Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 07:00 pm:

If we're on the subject of graffiti, my faves are the ones you get on church posters. The all time best I've seen said "THINK!" and someone had written "or thwim".

By Joe on Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 10:23 am:

Them church posters are funny in their own right...

By Eddy on Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 02:32 pm:

Where does the extended version of For Tomorrow appear??

By Ian on Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 05:59 pm:

a)On the b-side of the For Tomorrow single
b)Live version on b-side of Country House single
c)Live at the Budokan
4)Countless bootlegs and stuff

The BBC played it on R1 as part of Blur's Reading set. It might be on the R1 website. It's definitely on Napster.

Legal disclaimer: I do not necessarily endorse Napster or MP3.

By Lucky on Sunday, August 20, 2000 - 09:32 am:

Ha ha. Well my Napster's flown away to it's-illegal-no-it's-not heaven and I currently have no mp3's anymore. Whoopee. Oh well, I only had about five anyway...
I'm still laughing at think or thwim. Reminds me of some graffiti on a desk at school:

Chris Riley is gay
I agree!
Who are you?
Chris Riley

By indigo on Monday, August 21, 2000 - 12:07 pm:

Try www.gigabeat.com for a great source of MP3s. Type in Blur and you get about 130 songs found! I think it's friendlier than Napster (is friendlier a word? or is it more friendly? who knows)

Oh God i get my GCSE results on Thursday!

By Shaunée on Monday, August 21, 2000 - 01:31 pm:

I think friendlier is a word and if it isn't it should be.
And I have a question, is Major Tom a real person or does Bowie just like making people up, cause like he mentions him in more than one song?

By Eddy on Monday, August 21, 2000 - 02:46 pm:

Well my dear, it has been rumoured that Major Tom was ex British PM John Majors father, who was once a circus act. This is true.

But, you will find that Ashes To Ashes (I think) or one of the other songs on the Scary Monsters album name checks Major Tom for reason of revisting the past as Bowie felt like he was washed up in the Scary Monsters period when he was only 33. I hope that has helped.

By Joe on Monday, August 21, 2000 - 06:34 pm:

Bowie is continually self-referential. It gets a little annoying.

That's fantastic grafitti Luckster, and your MP3's should still be stored in the Napster directory on your computer. So don't fret.

By Shaunée on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 01:04 am:

Thank-you kindly boys, you did indeed help.

By Lucky on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 10:40 am:

Aye, if only the Napster directory on my computer had stayed on my computer. It went for a fuck two weeks ago, and everything got deleted. Damnation to all viruses! I'm off to gigabeat...

By Ian on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 11:13 am:

Apparently theres a god awful version of blur covering "Oliver's Army" on gigabeat...

By indigo on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 01:59 pm:

There is - i recommend you don't bother listening to it hee hee hee.
There are all these songs I've never heard of on it - it can get a bit depressing!

By Lucky on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 02:49 pm:

Oliver's Army?

GOD AWFUL???????

Eh dear, I don't agree with you guys there. I thought it was quite nice, what with all those harmonies and lovely swirling keyboard in the middle.

And what the heck're those fifty million 'Unlabeled' songs anyway?

By Eddy on Tuesday, August 22, 2000 - 03:02 pm:

Actually "Olivers Army" is done well by Blur. Also check out, "Nite Club" a Specials cover, as well as "Substitute" cover of The Who, both by Blur. As well as, "Tracey Jacks" cover by The Rentals.

By Kacy on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 03:00 am:

I actually have the Who tribute CD with Substitute on it. Not many can say that, ah ha ha...I love Blur's covers. They even made "maggie may" decent.

By Lucky on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 07:49 am:

I love their cover of Substitute. I used to have it on mp3, but I can't find it anywhere now. Vell, I vill just haf to look harder, von't I?

By Eddy on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 02:03 pm:

Wow, someone that has that Who tribute album. If I remember correctly, Blur are the only big name band on there.

According to Damon, "Substitute" is the worst recording Blur ever did. He refuses to have a copy in his house.

It was done near the Mod Life period I fink, when they were all drunks.

Also notice that on the recording the first chord of the actual song is cut off, so it sounds uneven at the start. They did it in one take, and Dave fucked it up by increasing the tempo with his drum intro.

Still a fucking great version though.

By Ian on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 08:30 pm:

Lets not forget Alex refused to play on Maggie May for his massive hatred of Rod Stewart.

Well done sir!

By Britpop king on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 09:56 pm:

By porcelainfuckingoceans on Monday, September 11, 2000 - 11:14 am:

-Graham Coxon 'The Golden D'
-Radiohead 'Ok Computer'
-Beatles 'Abbey Road'
-Dire Straits 'Brothers in arms'

That's all I can think of right now, shit, I have too many faves...

By fake™ on Monday, September 11, 2000 - 06:03 pm:

guns n' roses - GN'R lies. [or appetite for destruction]
radiohead - OK computer.
dire straits - sultans of swing.
nick drake - [every]
nirvana - unplugged in New York

those are the ones i can think of right now..
pearl jam - ten should be up there somewhere too..not to forget richard ashcroft - alone with everybody [one of the best solo albums around..]
oh, I mustn't forget alice in chains - dirt..

this is getting longer and longer..

By Eddy on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 02:33 pm:

Fuck, what a shit selection.

By Tousled on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 04:33 pm:

Wow, I haven't written anything in a while. I'll throw in a few of my faves, as if anyone cares, oooh tragic low self esteem I have. They aren't very unique as it turns out. Anyway, in no particular order:

Different Class, Pulp
Revolver, the Beatles
Automatic for the People, R.E.M.
The Bends/ OK Computer (too hard to pick just one), Radiohead
Can You Still Feel?, Jason Falkner (for those of who who think American music is shit, this proves otherwise)

SFA seem to be on a lot of people's lists. It's kinda funny, because I'm American (don't hate me), and when I was in England in August, one of the boys we met on one of our Kentish pub crawls thought it was horribly tragic that I had never heard their music at all and that we don't get NME in the states. Some other people we met at v2000 (who weren't at all cool) found it astounding that virtually no one in the U.S. knows who ocean colour scene are. Side note, I now have a much better understanding of why people don't like Americans. I must say it's a quasi-founded argument. Extra side note, Pearl Jam and Nirvana: come on, grow some musical taste, fake.

By porcelainyouknowtherestit'sprobablyfuckingoceansorfluffyoceanscosthatsoundsmorefunny. on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 05:20 pm:

Oh right, REM 'New adventures in Hi-Fi.

By fake™ on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 07:54 pm:

yeah, ain't that great eddy?
I'm one of those fans of shitty rock bands that makes both the papers the music industry rich as hell..

By fake™ on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 07:57 pm:

just because you grow don't mean you have to listen to complicated rock/pop music to prove your intelligence..

though I must admit that choosing nirvana lacked orginality..

By fake™ on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 - 07:58 pm:

I apologize for the last message.

it wasn't a necessary note.

By technomuesli on Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 07:09 am:

I'm glad you didn't.

By Big Brett on Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 08:25 pm:

Foxy - I fucking hate impostors too right now and you can understand why, they should all be burned and all the decent coping members should stand round the fire cooking marsh mellows on them shouting "burn! shits! burn!" although I'd probably end up leaping into the fire to drag that TWI impostor out and kill it myself. I'd love to have the pleasure of killing that piece of terd
sorry there I go again
Back to the topic - non-blur albums!!! how could you ever bring up such a thing. I'd never dream of listening to anything other than blur! now leave
lol@eddy. I'm just glad he stopped at TLC. fuck knows where he'd have ended up

By Eddy on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 12:32 pm:

Plus the fact that five of his choices selected inferior albums of bands: De La Soul, Pixies, Pavement, Specials, and Clash.

By Brett on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 12:56 pm:

Yup. Except I wouldn't quit rate pixies and the clash in the same group as TLC as they both did some decent stuff but he still has gay taste in music. i bet he would even like my band

By Eddy on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 01:02 pm:

haha the one you play bass in??

I find it funny you play bass, it's such a "Big Brett" instrument init.

By jonathan on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 02:41 pm:

gay taste in music? actually, I really should have put at least one album in there by the Pet Shop Boys. And Soft Cell. And Tom Robinson.

now you know where I would have ended up.

By Joe on Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:06 pm:

Half way up somebody's rectum, ha ha. What are your band called Bretty? Come down to Oxford and we'll play a gig.

By Ian on Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 12:30 am:

And headline above Sexy Breakfast, much to Joe's annoyance. Good to see one of my topics still pulling in the crowds, over two months on. My Top 5 has changed completely in that time as well. I'd definitely have "Different Class" in it for a start. What was I thinking that day?

By Joe on Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 01:46 pm:

You weren't really into Pulp till that recently though...

By Ian on Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:13 pm:

Well, I always liked the obvious ones (Babies, Help The Aged, Disco 2000, This is Hardcore etc) but only around March time did I discover the other tracks that are just as great, such as f.e.e.l.i.n.g.c.a.l.l.e.d.l.o.v.e. and all the others.
I smashed the shit out of my keyboard yesterday because it my computer kept crashing and now the shift button is completely fucked...

By tam on Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:51 am:

hey guys and gurls

ya so i think grace by jeff buckley is one of tha best ever!!!!

ok thats all i feel like mentionin rite now!

i am officially dreaded...nice seein all of yaz again sorta heh

gotta go...sigh...everyone download lover u shoul'dve come over...brilliant song best i've ever heard

By Joe on Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 01:06 pm:

TAMMM!!!

By tam on Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 04:02 pm:

joooe!!!!!!!!! now i must go... sigh

By indigo on Monday, October 23, 2000 - 08:40 pm:

I now love KID A, JJ72, Hunky Dory, Different Class (plus all the other albums i said before of course). i just came back from Amsterdam and I listened to all of them nonstop!

ohmigod so tired! been awake 24 hours, fucking awful coach journey grrrr

Hmm, I'm still undecided over Placebo's new one. It's good, but not as good as the last one I think.

By Tousled on Monday, October 23, 2000 - 09:50 pm:

Hunky Dory is so amazing. There's a bakery in Edinburgh called Hunky Dory. The sign outside said something like "cakes and kookies for all you pretty things". I found that very clever.

By Joe on Monday, October 23, 2000 - 11:41 pm:

There's a bakery my mum saw once saying "Tell me, where is fancy bread?" cunningly quoting The Merchant Of Venice.

By Kyle on Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 03:44 pm:

Here goes;

The Clash - 'London Calling'
The Velvet Underground - 'White Light/White Heat or Loaded' ( can't decide )
Big Star - 'Sister Lovers'
Sonic Youth - 'Daydream Nation'
Pavement - 'Wowee Zowie'

At the moment anyway.

By Eddy on Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 01:45 pm:

Hey, someone else in the world that knows of Big Star.

Well done Kyle, respect man.

By boy on Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 02:34 pm:

I'm doing the Merchant of Venice at the moment and it is the most boring book i've ever read.
It's s'posed to be comedy but my german-english dictionary is funnier and it's written by some no-hoper called Shakespeare, the funniest bloke is this one called Shylock, hahahaha, boy is he funny or what.

By Ian on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:15 pm:

That's quite contradictory.

How about favourite non-blur song?
I am saying this because everyone knows For Tomorrow is the best song ever and so everyone would vote for it.

I think-
I dunno. This is realy hard. Probably something by the Super Furries. Babies by Pulp I guess. No forget it. Its far too difficult. There are millions of great songs out there. Sorry.

By Kyle on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:15 pm:

Dosen't everyone like Big Star ?

Alex Chilton is king. The man wrote 'Jesus Christ' and 'The Ballad of El Goodo'.....sheesh

By Eddy on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 01:09 pm:

I think everyone would like Big Star, if they knew who they were Kyle. In fact you are the only other person other than my mate, who I know of that actually know Big Star.

Anyway, everyone has heard at least one Alex Chilton song- The theme from That 70's Show.

By Thomas Williams on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:32 pm:

Yeah!

By Joe on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 11:29 am:

Cunt!

By Kyle on Monday, October 30, 2000 - 12:25 pm:

Thats's a Chilton song ?

Dark Days Indeed.

By Eddy on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 11:38 am:

Yeah afraid so, a poor Chilton song.

By nathallie on Saturday, November 11, 2000 - 03:05 pm:

argh. hm... non blur? well, my collection isn't that big, and a lot of it is from when i was like, 11 yrs old, and liked bush and soundgarden and such...
well, my favourite band after blur is pulp. and radiohead. my new favourite band last year was travis, and this year it's the super furries and primal scream, although so far the latter two have been restricted to MP3s, their albums being WAAAAAY to expensive in canada....
but blur, pulp, and radiohead basically epitomize the very feeling you want to get out of life, the dreams you wish you could live. (it's not the lyrics: mainly the music too). and as this is getting very long and not to the point...

ian, while i was reading all those long, messed messages of yours up there, i couldn't believe it was really you typing that at all.

so my faves are:
*pulp - different class, this is hardcore, (and the kick-ass songs "do you remember the first time" and "babies", which is all i've heard of his'n'hers, 'cos i've never seen that record ANYWHERE is any of the music stores...)
*radiohead's the bends.
*weezer - both albums are pretty good. (the second may appear to be shit, but listen - it's quite fun)
*elastica - elastica
*the chemical brothers - dig your own hole or surender

***********
my old faves:
our lady peace: clumsy
bush: sixteen stone
oasis: definitely maybe, what's the story
soundgarden: *can't remember what it was called... the one with burden in my hand...*
hole: live through this

meh. i just felt like writing a lot.
have a great day!
love, nat.

By Joe on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 - 06:26 pm:

K.

By nat on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 - 08:53 pm:

yep

By Ryan on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 - 09:21 pm:

OUR LADY PEACE IS SHIT!!! phew..

my albums are:

The Smiths: the queen is dead
Bob Dylan: highway 61 revisited
The Who: The who sell out
anything by the Monkees
and anything by duran duran!

By NobbyTone on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 11:00 am:

Favourite Current non-Blur albums at the moment are The Rentals - Seven Minutes More (with Damon on the lead vocals of Big Daddy C). I also have to say, as someone mentioned weezer before, that the two weezer and Rentals albums are four of the greatest albums of the last ten years. Anyone agree...?

By Eddy on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 12:00 pm:

No.

By nattklubb on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 08:23 pm:

hm, i've only heard OF the rentals and i've herad "the getting by" , and that the rentals, on their two albums (fronted by ex-bassist of weezer's Matt Sharp - btw: weezer's recording a new album now, aren't they?), have collaborated with damon, justine, and everyone from That Dog (although i have absolutely no idea who That Dog are, besides that i think graham dated one of the girls....)

more useless info from *me*.

By Nobbytone on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 09:39 am:

I'm glad that this has sparked such a passionate discussion... Thanks for your comments, nattklubb. Give the albums a listen, they are worth it. Weezer should apparently have a new album out march/april next year.

By nathallie on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 01:26 am:

and OLP are NOT shit.... clumsy was one of my favourite albums in grade 8..... but the new stuff IS pretty bad.....
have a great day!
love, nat.

By tam on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 02:08 am:

i'm sorry they are nat...horrible...lol i've seen them twice tho! aha...cosa summersault!

hey nat do u like incubus???

By indigo on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 10:16 am:

Hey I haven't read this for a while... don't you hate it when that happens! I have no favourite song of the moment... oh no wait I'm lying, I spent the whole day yesterday at the Tate Modern singing Andy Warhol. Hmm, new songs..... nope, can't think of any.

on an unrelated topic, the merchant of venice is the most god awful play i have ever been forced to read! Curse the fucking English teacher that could have picked Macbeth!

By nat on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 06:46 pm:

i'm not particularily fond of incubus, tam, but i'd pick it over limp and papa roach any day! you were right though, stellar is pretty alright. have fun at uni!

By kira on Tuesday, December 12, 2000 - 10:08 pm:

Q: Does anyone here know Watercress? (v. good band from Belfast in Northern Ireland)
Their album ''Bummer'' is very good, (and you can actually meet them after gigs which is a bonus!)
hmmm, fave albums in no particular order;
R.E.M. :Automatic for the people;
Blurrrrrrrrrrrr, never mind, they're not allowed;
Bush :Sixteen Stone
Greenday :Dookie
Red Hot Chili Pepperes :Californication
Watercress : Bummer
R.E.M. :Green
The Divine Comedy : Casanova
And millions more i cant think of!

By Joe on Wednesday, December 13, 2000 - 09:48 pm:

Damn. I looked at the Last Week thing and saw the bit about Watercress and was all ready to jump into a big thing about how shit the plant Watercress is.

Well why don't I anyway?

It's fucking shit.

By kira on Tuesday, December 19, 2000 - 11:50 pm:

actually, watercress the food isnt all that bad, it just has no taste, a weird colour, its kinda floppy and, well, dammit your right, as a food watercress sucks ass. at least the band are good!

By nittaya on Thursday, December 21, 2000 - 10:06 pm:

isn't coldplay a shit name for a band? and then i found it had a meaning, but still - it should still sound cool, i.e. incubus - who knows what it means? doesn't really matter, it sounds good.
so... i heard this on the radio. Incubus is latin for nightmare. During the Middle Ages, an incubus was a man that was a demon that visited woman during the night for sex. books closed! have a great day - love, nat.

By misfit on Friday, December 22, 2000 - 02:01 am:

so... i have thought long and hard about this, and even though you don't know me... my fave albums are...

(in no particular order...)
eliot smith -either or
belle and sebastian- the boy with the arab strap
pixies- doolittle/surfa rosa
sonic youth- daydream nation/thousand leaves/ washing machine
alison moyet- upstairs at erics
pavement- brighten the corners

Yeah!

By Chris on Sunday, June 17, 2001 - 01:50 pm:

I know I've posted on this topic before but that was ages ago and I've got some additions to the list. Green Day are amazing, particularly 'Dookie', but I would recommend that people try out Half Man Half Biscuit's 'Back in the DHSS'. The names of the band and album are so good that it's got to be worth a try!

By alexidrlng on Sunday, October 28, 2001 - 06:51 pm:

my incredibly wonderful taste in music!

1) belly: king
2) tool: aenima
3) tori amos: under the pink

5) rem: automatic for the people
6) tenacious d!!!!!
7) phish: billy breathes
8) portishead: live at roseland, nyc
9) the beta band
10) belle and sebastion: the boy with the arab strap

By indigo on Monday, October 29, 2001 - 11:57 am:

ah, thanks for posting and letting me re-read some of the funniest coping posts! I'd forgotten about this topic!

By Karla on Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 02:04 am:

-Radiohead (all of them!)
who by the way were named best band in THE WORLD! *yay*

-Kula Shaker (K and PP&A)
-Spacehog (The Chinese Album)
-Beck (Mutations)
-The very best of Cream
-Eric Clapton Unplugged
-The very best of John Lennon
-Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)
-Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin II)
-Duran Duran (Medazzaland)
-John Mellencamp (Cuttin' Heads)
-Spirit (12 dreams of Dr. Sardonicus)
-Ottmar Liebert (The hours between night + day)

By Hallie on Saturday, November 3, 2001 - 03:55 am:

incubus, in case tammmi ever stops by ... oh wow. luscious b. i'd never by the album though, just drool over the vids. just rack me up along with those durst-loving babes (that's kinda the "nu-metal", is it? i can't say i know).

anyway, so what's been good out of canada, you say?

Matthew Good Band already! (i wouldn't buy any of their albums either, not really, but it's the good bit of the over-played radio stuff)

Weakerthans

The Dears

international noise conspiracy? dashboard confessional? moldy peaches? strokes? ahh, there's a spider on my wall! okay, i knocked it with my fist, but its squishiness curled into a ball and is still attached to the wall ... oh good, it's just fallen down.

have a great day everyone! (and expect the rains to come if yer superstitious. we learnt about fireballs today in physics) ... and aaaaaaahhh! the wedge is coming on real soon ... goodnight!

~ Nat.

By xistenza on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 02:59 am:

A few favorites -

The Smiths – Louder Than Bombs
Adorable – Against Perfection
Saint Etienne – Foxbase Alpha
Nick Cave – Let Love In
The Cure – Faith

By Nat on Sunday, February 17, 2002 - 06:30 pm:

I love the Wedge. Any other Canadians get The Wedge on Muchmusic? (This is an advert - Friday nights at 11!). And I re-found Daria (YTV at 9, same day!). So I'm contented (fuck you, I haven't had television for a year and a half).

THE WEAKERTHANS! (saw them in concert yesterday, with openers THE CARNATIONS )
I bought a t-shirt. Why in hell did I buy a t-shirt? They never fit right ...
love for THE DEARS only grows, my darlings - jump on board!

yes, I came to restate my interest in those bands. And I'd go on with more, for a "new" section of this post, if I weren't planning to stop now.

i love all my cd's equally. all the discs (I hang the cases on my wall) are put in a special box next to my bed in case of a fire, and my graham csobt is under my bed coz people always want to touch it and i am scared they will accidentally tear the cover.

at the moment i'm listening a lot to:

-White Bloodcells/The White Stripes
-All Mod Cons/The Jam
-Mower/Mower
-Amnesiac/Radiohead
-Rubber Soul/Beatles
-Muse/Origin of Symmetry

Hey hey hey! What's going on here then? Calm down and sit down, wankers! Sarki is here! This is a situation that only Sarki himself can sort out!

Right!

Anonymous#1 - use your proper name your coward, you started this fiasco and I have to spend valuable TV time finishing it! Though I can't say I blame you though judging by your list of favourite bands! you sad drip of accidental arabian rat-spawn.

Anonymous#2 - practice what you preach but a credible rant, I was on the verge of congratulating you on my first assumption that your "tantrum" was aimed at a post 8 posts up from yours but I guess that's my responsibility.
Piss off Indigo, you boring cunt!
Now, where was I? Oh yes, try using your own name and I'm sure we'll get along just fine, you seem to have some potential.

Quintal - hahaha, you fuckin' parrot! But then again I didn't expect any more from you. Shut your arse and try speaking out the other end.

MYFL - nice one, I only hope you can put Lucky in it's place now because I can't really be bothered right now. Now settle down! I am king and I don't stand for anyone getting too cocky on this board, you see what happens to people who dare to oppose me on this board.

Lucky - You dullard.

Ho ho ho, now that's sorted things out! Tsk, I'm having to play peace-maker as usual, why can't people just get along and be nice?
Please feel free to thank me for preventing this from flaring up by emailing me at sarki2002@hotmail.com, and if you don't like it go and *sob sob* Bang in the corner! :o)
