Saw them last year at Twickenham Stadium,,,

Up the Irons

 

[Quoth]

On balance, I think Beck is my favourite current artist. Who wouldn't be charmed by the lilting air of "MTV makes me want to smoke crack".

If we're talking about solo artists though, no-one but no-one can hold a candle to Bach. Not even Handel.

Gotthard

Is this thread really that stimulating? Have a cold shower man!

 

[Chuffy]

I think the last album I really liked of theirs was Monster - I used to love them.

Reveal was good, as was Up. Around the Sun was dire and I haven't heard the most recent one, I daren't risk the disappointment.

 

[asterix]

Black Grape.

 

[Wolf04]

Way too many great bands to choose, so here's a few.
The Stones
The Who
The Clash
CSNY
and of course the real best ever band........
The Band

 

[Moose]

The Doors

 

[Fnaar]

There isn't a band from whom I like everything, but dexys, the jam, the style council, the doors, the clash, small faces, faces, gil scott heron, specials, madness, slim gaillard, sly & family stone, stray cats, nina simone come pretty close!

Seriously Chuffy - listen to Accelerate. Right now. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

In fact, if you PM me your address I will buy the album right now tonight and have Amazon post it to you!

(I still feel a little guilty that my post on your Captain Beefheart thread might - in some weird way - have helped to convince you to buy Trout Mask Replica. I feel the need to apologise!)

Accelerate is a top album, well worth a place in the collection.

 

[albal]

The Fall
Flux Of Pink Indians
Test Dept
400 Blows

 

[ianrauk]

Used to do a bit of roady-ing for Flux, for Martin the drummer...

Flux Of Pink Indians

 

[Abitrary]

Not into 'best bands', but I think the most underrated band ever is The Kinks, and ray davies obviously the most undersung songwriter ever.

That's obviously the way he likes playing it, but in the future they will be up their with the best.

 

[Dave5N]

Manic Street Preachers

No question.

Don't let Arbitwat see this. We had a fallout over his insensitive offensive arrogant hurtful opinions. B)
