Don't think one has been started yet? Can't find one anyway! Couple of new ones for you: - Mountain Caller - Chronicle II: Hypergenesis Don't know too much about them but a Church Road Records so good start and are an instrumental prog metal trio from Landan. Pretty damn cool and suspect a few on here will enjoy. And on a slightly different tone Cancer Christ - God Is Violence Powerviolence/Grindcore from LA and seeming pretty crazy. Whilst the imagery takes centre stage, musically pretty fun too.

I grew up with vinyl and had a modest collection as a 15 year old, but started buying exclusively cassettes in 1986, and then CD's, and now Spotify. But I really like the idea of building up a new vinyl collection. Maybe 50 records or so, but the first 10 have to be absolute heavyweights. I have an idea of what my first 10 records will be, but first I'd like to hear what yours are...

As per title... As many or as few as you like.

Just some silly fun between matches. What are your favourites? Which do you hate? Which do you rate as great songs even if not as great Bond songs? What is James Bond anymore, anyway? Here's a table from Wikipedia. It's hard to find lists that don't rank them, but I wanted to find something neutral. I will put my answers below.

I'm not saying these would necessarily be instances of copyright infringement or the intentional stealing of songs -- but I'm not saying they're not that, either. What are some pairs of songs that --- as you hear them -- sound coincidentally similar to you? Here's a pair of songs that share some improbably similar passages of melody: WARNING: ULTRAVOX VID IS NSFW.

We have a few threads with songs and the latest is "Songs that make you cry" How about your very best song ? This thread should be full of really fantastic songs.Ill start with, "Unchained melody" by the Righteous brothers.

Hard to know where to start, but this is overall my favorite political song. I won’t claim to be very familiar with the political content of the song, but I know it was on a compilation I had of political songs.

Semi final 1 takes place Tuesday 9th May Semi final 2 takes place Thursday 11th May The Grand **** Final takes place Saturday 13th May In the exiting run up to the night we've all been waiting for, I will titillate you with a selection of my favourite songs from this year's event. Firstly, I give you...Germany

Yay another music thread! So I know many VTer's are avid gig goers. So this is a thread to dump videos of gigs/concerts you really wish you went to. I know everyone has a different preference of live shows they like, some like arenas, some like small intimate gigs, some like festivals etc. Personally I quite like "big" sounding bands in small venues and great festival acts. Never really been a fan of arena gigs. So i'll kick things off with... Iconic festival moment. Could pick any track from this set but always loved the crowd interaction on this track. Definitely wish I was there for this. And also a big sounding band in small venue, one of my favourite NIN tracks from what looks like a small venue (for NIN at least). Do you have any gigs/concerts where you really wish you were there?

You can talk about the lads from Manchester and your journey with their music here if you wish.

Always a favourite topic of mine As the year is approaching it's end, new releases become scarce, it's time to reflect and post your favourite albums released this year. Only albums first released in 2022 are eligible. Post as many or as few as neccessary, lists are acceptable of any number. This topic will open on 1st December

Thought I'd flip it on its head I hate that song, the song that made them properly mainstream but its a bad pub band / karaoke song that took them a couple of albums to recover from, it's a horrible song Also special shout out to roll with it and Country House, 2 of the worst singles those bands released

Not quite the same as a one-hit wonder, as doesn't need to be a "hit". But what's a great song that you loved by an artist / band you thought were terrible?

What are some of your favourite soundtracks of all time?* However uber-hipster obscure or commercially popular—it's all good. (Maybe it's just one single song from a soundtrack, too, such as Lulu's "To Sir, With Love," etc.) Please just add a YouTube link if available in whole or part! Always looking for a good film soundtrack to add to the playlist. Thanks! * Edit: Games soundtracks welcome, too!

Birmingham's Music Scenes past and present. Who are some of your favorites, past and present? As an outsider looking in, to me Birmingham seems uncommonly blessed with an incredible music history. I'm just obsessed with certain parts of it I know. I don't know why exactly. The whole two-tone thing is the best. Just can't get enough. There are so many names I've heard of and love (Dave Wakeling is a favorite of mine), but many are surprises to me. The more obscure the better, even if they're unsigned or pub covers bands and DJs, etc. -- I don't care. Feel free to expand it out to West Midlands. If you have links to videos, I'd like to see. The late Tony DeVit is my third cousin, actually. Sadly died before I met him.

I was wondering whether this should go in the Gig thread, but thought it'd be good to separate this purely to talk about what your biggest regret was in terms of bands you never got to see, passed up the opportunity, saw them too late etc etc. Obvious one for me was Prince. I had the chance to see him while I was Uni. However, being a poor student, I couldn't spare the money to go so had to pass. A few years later, once I was out of Uni and back working, he announced his piano tour. Went online as soon as the tickets were due to go on sale, only to find that he'd cancelled the tour as he was unhappy with how much the promotional companies were charging the fans for tickets (very admirable, of course). He'd said that he would rearrange the tour at a later date, and then unfortunately he passed away not long after that. My absolute hero and I never got to see him live. Had a couple of chances to see Rush when I was younger too that I passed up. Shame.

They don't make them like they used to. Sort of tune that @Seat68 will appreciate I imagine... Loved this show as a kid.

From their youthful photo. Done this before but not for a few years. Ten to get, starting with 1.

Not quite 2022 yet but here's what to look forward to from Adrian Sherwood Not listened to it all yet but it does seem that the Horace Andy album is finally going to be released and its the first track on the On-U Sound Sunday Roast Xmas Special, hosted by AMS himself (as he does every year) and he previews what is coming up in the next year (and very often doesn't ) Full show here It's not all that reggae stuff either. EDIT: 2nd Jeb Loy Nichols album produced by AMS sounds nice New Mark Stewart album and a new PIAB Vol 8 Brand New African Headcharge album First new Tackhead Album for 30 Years - OMFG! The track he played on this was in collaboration with LSK but definitely has Skip McDonald in Little Axe mode written all over it Even more amazing than a new Tackhead album a brand new Creation Rebel album, thats 40 years since the last one and that sounds brilliant Unreleased material from Andy Fairley (Long deceased Bristol poet and On-U artist) that they just found on hard discs - the track on this show is phenomenal, spine tingling stuff Unreleased Lee Scratch Perry track will be on PIAB Vol 8, one they held back from the last recording session featuring LSK and Skip McDonald Hell I'm not even half way through it yet and I'm VERY excited already

Hello everyone and welcome. With all the music chat appearing in the things you don’t get thread, general chat etc, I thought a thread for general music discussion might be useful. My intention with this thread is that it would be different to the “what song/album I’m listening to” or “new music” threads as it wouldn’t be video after video which, sometimes, I find a bit of a pain to scroll through. More a place where we can chat broadly about whatever band you’ve found a new appreciation for, which band you should have liked in theory but never could quite get into, whether you’ve just seen a BBC four documentary and you had no idea that singer was on that particular drug at the time, whatever... By all means link a video to back up why you think that song by that band you like is great...but generally just chat I was thinking. This thread may well die an early death, but I thought it was worth a go. So there’s this band Coldplay who look like they might be going places...

Suspect this has been done to death on here over the years, but do you have one? Doesn't have to be technically I guess. I enjoy Van Morrison for some reason, and I'm not sure he's up there with Aretha Franklin and what not Guess I've always had a slight pull towards Otis Reddit, Sam Cooke and Freddie Mercury when it comes to more awesome voices.

Pagoda Park, that takes me back. The Powerhouse (became the Ritzy I think) then Wobble and the one by the Market open until 6am, Tin Tins?

OK I'm a bit bored between meetings today. Let's start a new thread... You're the DJ at the party. The ibuprofen has kicked in, everyone has had a couple of sherries, and it's time to get everyone on the dance floor. Tell me what two songs you're playing to get them up? Two songs that are gonna work together, and make it impossible for them not to dance, and keep them there. I'll start us off, then let's hear yours?
