Re James Blunt... that's precisely what I feel. People kept going on at me to listen to You're Beautiful, so after a while I did. I immediately decided I didn't like his voice, but his lyrics and music are good enough that you don't notice after a bit.

I have his album and I've played that a lot too... not quite as much as The Killers though!

lol i see it worked!!

seeing as its now a music thread.....

my artists of the year : killers, franz, damien rice, ben folds, snow patrol - so good live!! (and of course coldplay)

my new discovery : beth orton

my classic cd that i play all the time to my shame : B*witched - B*witched

and sadly enough my favourtie pieces of classical music : dvoraks 9th (esp. 1st and 4th movements), elgar enigma variations and cello concerto, anything by vaughn-williams.

haha i love the ...Music (ex Nadal thread)   (btw i didn't rename it - must have been mark!) thanks  

Snow Patrol's Final Straw is a brilliant album. :-({|=

Hooked... yeah, that's exactly it! What other songs from there have you got?

yea! snow patrol also legends....forgot them actually! been quite a great year for music with all this great endless stuff....

ermm...ive got High, You're beautiful (now i think everybody has a copy of that!), goodbye my lover, wisemen (like this one actually!) and tears and rain!
just had another sing a long to 'high'....totally hooked!  

[top_spin]

so what would you say are your favourite songs of all time guys?

haha one of the hardest questions ive been asked  
i have these 'obbsessions' with one song for a while...and i listen to it so many times, until it's just something that brain recognises in 1 second of playing and it just becomes a musical peice that you have no interest in...then like after one hour you find the another song like that, then you're hooked for another week on that....  

i'll never get tierd of The Smith's voices....absolute legends! one of my favorite songs from them: 'the last of the international playboys' (you'll probably listen to it and think WTF?! ...but i suppose you gotta be a huge fan to understand the gist...!)

i loved Oh My God by the Kaiser Chiefs (also fantastic band!!) ...
what's your fav song?!  

[top_spin]

oooohhh...you just reminded me...maybe tomoro by the stereophincs!   i was totally in love with that song for about a year!! (must lisetn to it again)

haha we are all so very emo as Laura says!! ...and 'run' ahhh one of the other all times greats!! nice to meet all these people with similar music tastes - unlike at my school where it's all god dam rap and crap!  

[Riverman]

OK... James Blunt again. You must listen to "Cry", this is possibly the best song on the album. Far better than You're Beautiful or High.

Snow Patrol... Run is my absolute favourite Snow Patrol track.

As for favourite song ever... impossible to answer. I don't have just one that fits that.

Any of you folks into Elliott Smith at all?



Edits: I don't really like rap much... some Eminem, but that's about it. And as for the Stereophonics (sorry Julia ) I despise them.

[Riverman]

Ah, now you're talking. Manics I like.

So far I have "This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours", one of there more recent albums. It is superb, but it's not really the same band that they started as.

I also have a bootleg collection known as "Making Rebellion Into Money" (I think that's it) which is good. I've heard a fair bit of their early stuff, but I haven't heard them between 1993 and 1998. :?


Back to Stereophonics, I'll agree their early stuff was good, but I can't stand them now. Literally, I turn off the radio when they come on.

I'm going to see a fairly obscure (but good) band by the name of Mohair on wednesday, with support from a band called "The Mexicolas". I was playing some Mexicolas stuff to my brother (he of Smiths fanhood), and he said, "they sound a bit like the Stereophonics... when they used to be good".
