tonyh29 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I've never really got why bands get so much stick for making similar music throughout their career, if you want different music, listen to a different band or artist. They cater for their fans first and foremost. Obviously if they do go in a different direction with their music and do it well then it can be great, but I wouldn't knock someone for not doing it myself. and nobody coped more stick for that than Big Country .. but The Crossing is nothing like Steeltown whoch is nothing like The Seer ..other than they have guitars and drums Matey out of the manic street preachers had a good article on it the other week I love the music press and I love music journalism, but sometimes the music press have to be called to account, and they should give the musical kudos and reparations to Big Country and Stuart Adamson, who's sadly not with us.

Stevo985 Posted October 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2014 Parachutes especially is a brilliant album. Yes it is actually. It's very good indeed and had a nice introspective, melancholy feel to it. But even on the second album, the anthemic, overblown cracks had started to appear and that was before Chris Martin completely disappeared up his own orifice never to be seen again. Pretty much sums up my feelings. I liked X&Y and A Rush of Blood to the Head. But they didn't have that unquantifiable something that Parachutes had. I could listen to Parachutes over and over again. It'd genuinely be a desert island disc for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Coldplay at the IW fest in 2006 (I think, I am sure...hard to remember the years!) was a great festival experience. It was 2006. Edited October 17, 2014 by dodgyknees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2014 Boris Capdown Curl Up and Die The Gerogerigegege Graf Orlock Mr Bungle Propergol Saetia Shitmat Sublime Maybe something like this Also, I look forward to seeing Polysics on djdabush's list well I hope. Are these real, or is it a spoof list? I genuinely don't know. Incidentally, I see Miles Davis and Shostakovich have been listed. I would have both in a wider list, but I deliberately excluded jazz and classical to give myself a fighting chance of keeping it down to ten.

In an aeroplane over the sea should be given to every child in school, its perfection. As for Natalie Merchant, as I am having a nostalgia day musically, in my tribe has got to go on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 No. 1 is NOFX, No. 2 is Blink 182. I don't really know who else I would put in my top ten. The Get Up Kids maybe. I have seen NOFX more than any other band, something like 20 times, 5 years ago would have said my favourite band, still like them, but dropped out of my top 10.That's cool. I've seen them twice, once at Reading and once at the old Carling Academy. I haven't been to a live gig for years, I'm bored of it (despite being in bands and playing in gigs for 10 years until my band split up a few months ago!)
