Thought it would be a good idea for any music discussions etc to be kept in one thread to save he effort of having to go into more than one thread to discuss it. Much like I did with the Film thread.

So if u wanna discuss anything about music then heres a thread where it can all be kept in one place. Saves having lots of random threads on pretty much the same thing.

[Wez]

I love music!!! Good idea Ben.

[UrKo]

As long as we discuss rock music im in      

[Wez]

Rock, Pop, Classical & All types of dance... I love it all. Im a musical slut!

[UrKo]

Classic Rock also, pop maybe

[la force supreme des mclaren]

Okay.let's get started............ how many mp3 songs do you have on your pc right now? and also it would be great if everybody could share some FREE MP3 SITES so that we could all start downloading music.

[jemstride]

i dont even know what a MP3 is. i think its best that i stay out of this thread, for obvious westlife-related reasons

Smart move Jem........

[monza gorilla]

Wise choice, young Jem.

[jemstride]

Ben would be wise also to keep his yob shut , I dare say that any music from this millenium is suspect

[Sato]

Not all of it, but there is plenty of crap coming out these days...

[Ferrariphile]

I don't generally listen to contemporary music either.  It has to be about my age or older (mid '80s and before) Classic Rock or Metal- heavy or death/speed.

[Kopite Girl]

I love Girls Aloud.     They're quite good.

And U2. And Rage Against The Machine.  

[Jenson_Rules]

Yeah Girls Aloud are great!

And no my fave song from last year is prob Rehab by Amy Winehouse!

[dribbler]

So we're in a music thread and all i have heard so far is talk about Girls Aloud and Westlife?  

My taste ranges from progressive rock (Genesis, Yes, Caravan, Steve Hillage, Gong, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield) through to classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The doors, The Rolling Stones) then sidelines into soul (Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Richie Havens) goes into electronica (The prodigy, Goldie, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher) sort of comes back on itself with more modern bands and bands of the moment (The Guillemots, Blur, Depeche Mode, The Divine Comedy) goes away again with lesser known gems (Peter Frampton, Nick Drake, Anthony And The Johnsons) and then ends with classical (Holst, Beethoven).

Or you could have said everything except Girls Aloud and Westlife!!  

I went to see Steven Segal in a concert last Saturday - how strange is that!

[monza gorilla]

You paid??

Finally we start talking business! Ok, here are some of my preferences (hard to make a selection, my tastes are very non-linear so I will base many on what you mentioned):
Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Blur, Depeche Mode, Peter Frampton (all matches).
Some more, in no particular order: The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, The Cure, The Damned, Prince (bakc in the beggining), Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, The kinks, Echo & The Bunnymen, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Tom Jobim, Squirrell Nut Zippers, Vinicius de Moraes, Chico BuarqueBach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi (pheew...so many more...I got tired)

Ok, some Argentinian sounds to throw in the mix too: Patricio Rey y Los Redonditos de Ricota, Sumo, Soda Stereo, Gotan Project, Fats Fernandez.

These days I am listening to: Air (The Virgin Suicides OST), The Tiny, Regina Spektor, The Shins, Daniel Adamson, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Menomena, Dengue Fever, and a long etcetera!

It was indeed.  All the women seemed quite taken with him.  It was almost like watching Andres in action!

P-lease! Seriously, you said this was going to be a music thread. You are about as knowledgeable about music as a satsuma. Now go shag a boy in a toilet.

[Wez]

@ Dribbler & Quiet One...
I absolutely love Depeche Mode, I have most their cds. Their latest one "Playing the angel" is fantastic.
I also quite like your choices of Blur & Prodigy.

[monza gorilla]

On the multi changer: Grandaddy, Steve Hackett, The Stranglers, New Model Army, Midnight Oil and The Move.
In the glovebox: Procol Harum, Sigur Ros, John Fogerty, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

[Jenson_Rules]

Blur were a great band, I was one of them peoplewho prefered them over Oasis. Prodigy are absoutely fantastic, and great live aparently, love it whenever a club plays one of their songs though I have never really liked Firstarter that much, I think nearly al their other songs are better. I only like 1 or 2 Depeche Mode songs, don't think too mcuh of them really. Though at the moment other than the group all you seem to despise (yet music critics think they are geniuses! (not just cos they are fit!)) I'm listening to stuff like The Kooks, I brought that MIKA dudes album the other day too but don't like it, it's a bit too random for my liking, he sounds in a way like freddie mercury but far camper and the songs are a bit too odd. I don't mind razorlight at the moment too, though the second album isnt as good as their first has to be said and America realy isnt the best song on the album. Who else do I like at the moment? Pendulum are great, if you guys like D&B then check them out, they are doing a gig at our Union next friday, should be good stuff.

Other than that can't really think whatelse at the mo.

And whoever told me to shag a boy in a toilet, it wasnt a boy, but a lass! I also walked in on 2 blokes doing coke in the toilets of this bar we went in last night!

[Wez]

Sounds like an interesting bar you went to Ben  

[Jenson_Rules]

LOL, yeh its well random. We did kareoke too, they play 1 song then sum1 does kareoke then another song the kareoke. Was so fun!

Is this some animal rights song that i missed?  Mika is overrated and his album is appalling, too random, as you say. Please tell me where i can read that a worthy music critic has stated that Girls Aloud are geniuses, i would like to read that. If you shagged a girl in a toilet, that makes you a slag. A filthy one at that. Unless she was fit of course.

[monza gorilla]

Firstarter? It's a song about the Forestry Commission. Maybe. Sort of a sequel to the Lumberjack Song.
