Something off topic for Saturday evening.
I’m loving these songs at the moment.
AC/DC - Back in Black
Pixies - Where is my mind (also like the Placebo cover)
Simple Minds - Don’t you forget about me
Cold Play - Strawberry Swing
The Prodigy - Omen & Warrior’s Dance
Lily Allen - 22
What sort of music do you all listen to?
 
Huey Lewis and the News
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ‘83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
 
A lot of late 70s/early 80’s stuff (David Bowie, Iggy Pop/Stooges, Joy Division, Spaceman 3)
For new Stuff, I like Handsome Furs, Brian Jonestown Massacre, White Stripes, the Editors & Nine Inch Nails.
That’s a pretty eclectic mix, soddy.

My personal Favorite is Hip to Be square, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics - But they should. Because its not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also personal statement about the band itself. HEY PAUL!
Note: I didn’t copy/paste that. I have much of the movie committed to memory. Good way to freak out the gf.
 
Mostly Woodie Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, … I used to listen to so much blues, but I just do not have time now.
 
On a bit of a Bruce Springsteen buzz at the moment after seeing him a few weeks ago. Greetings from Asbury Park is getting a lot of time.
Always need a hit of Bowie to get me though the day (Recommend his cover of Bruce’s Growin Up). Tom Waits & Elvis Costello are regulars too.
Newer stuff - Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Louis XIV, Athlete (just getting into them), Interpol, Director. And after years of bad mouthing Damien Rice as being a bore, I kinda think he’s alright now.

Haha. Impressive. While reading it I was wondering if you went to the bother to google PB quotes to copy & paste…

Ah Damien Rice is brilliant - last album isnt the best though!
 
Right now Bring Me the Horizon. Before that it was The Casino Brawl.

Yeah, I never got stuck in any genre. I seem to like bits of most music. Apart from that freaky metal like Sepultura and Korn and stuff like that. Anything heavier than Metallica isn’t for me.

True, but 9 Crimes is a great song. Plus, word is that he discovered Rodrigo y Gabriela, so I’ve got to give him a big thumbs up for that.
EDIT: I also love Rootless Tree.
 
Jensen - Very true - I should have mentioned that the only decent song on that album is 9 crimes but I could listen to every song on “O”
CoffeeCip08 - Thanks hun ;) I listen to a lot of classical while painting but acoustic music is great too
 
I’m listening to A Tribe Called Quest, back when hip-hop music was good.
Sincerely,
Stubborn Sam
 
I like trance although at time i like to bring it back to old school with some Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
