Music, who should we like

[CHAPPERS]

I know I'm gonna regret this..any chance of a youtube link to this, I'm guessing, great music?

Yep, you're gonna HATE it though.






This is Skream, he's a dubstep artist.

This is a Foals tune (English band, good) remixed by Henrik Schwarz

I can't hear these tunes at work but I'm pretty sure they are the best examples I can find on youtube, they don't really tend to make videos that much.

 

[Mendoza]

William Ward-Higgs, creator of our favourite song

 

[See-Goals]

OH yeah, doorskins in and out with the bass and it's a really nice spoilered and lowered Vauxhall Corsa with great paintwork. No-one laughs they're too busy putting their hands over their ears.

 

[Icy Gull]

.

Yep hated the 1st one and wasn't too fussed about the 2nd one although the repetitive drum machine(?) could get fecking irritating

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

The only two from that list I genuinely can't stand are the Fray and Nickelback.

the fray are pretty f***ing awful i'll give you that

 

[Mr Blobby]

I have to confess to having bought the new coldplay CD and I think its great stuff!

I am also going to see Springsteen at Cardiff tomorrow, and have seen U2 many times.

Will this earn me a ban from NSC?

If we could have an official NSC approved list of bands then I will down load the approved music and throw away all my old CDs and Vinyl albumns!

I cant ait to see who I will be listening to from this weekend onwards.

Can I then become cool and go to gigs in Brighton when about 20 people turn up and say "this band are great but if they become massive I will promise never to go and see them again but when asked will go on and on and on about when I saw them with just me my mate and his dog"

Is Brighton still one of the worst places in the country for a decent atmosphere at gigs? Haven't been to one for years but it always used to be that the Brighton audiences were too cool to get involved and therefore nearly all concerts, even from good musicians, were a disappointment as the Brighton audiences tended to lean back and be saying "Come on then, entertain me but don't expect me to be so uncool as to let you know I'm enjoying it"

That wasn't true at Gogol Bordello at the Dome last year - cracking atmosphere.

I must say that I've never regarded Brighton as a bad place for gigs: I've seen some great atmospheres and some morgues - that's up to the band surely?

 

[bhaexpress]

Nickleback always sounded to me like those guys who go on X factor shows and try to do rock. Badly. You should check out some Soundgarden or Pearl Jam to see how angst rock should be done!

What's amusing is that Nickleback are supposed to be a grunge band according to many. It's just as well they don't sound as dull and are as overrated as the majority of grunge bands.

Still, that's just my opinion.

 

[Frutos]

I like Nickelback, and they put on a good live performance supporting Bon Jovi a couple of years back. I'd definitely go and see them live in their own right if/when I get the chance.

Also, I have tickets to see REM live in August...are they considered acceptable (not that I'm bothered if they are or not, just interested to see people's views of them)?

 

[METALMICKY]

IRON MAIDEN!

Not cool but nearly 30 years on and still selling loads of albums and selling out stadiums all over the globe! Twickenham July 5th i cant wait!

And by total contrast i'm also looking forward to Level 42 at the Dome in October

Well, you might be ok with U2 and Springsteen, as they haven't been put forward on the not cool list so far, but Coldplay - what were you thinking??!?!?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Can I take a guess that those 'in the know' don't like:

Daniel Beddingfield
Natasha Beddingfield
Joss Stone

DB was reasonable- what ever happened to him?!
NB has a decent voice but writes AWFUL songs





joss stone is WELL annoying though

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Perhaps Richie could write a fanzine to let us all know the correct music we should be listening to.

Didn't he break his neck in a car accident a few years back? Not sure he's recorded anything since, but I could be wrong.

 

[Bozza]

I think they are so uncool as to not even warrant a mention.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

But surely we have all manner of pretentious (sorry informed) magazines available to tell us who we should like?

So, let me put up some 'new' bands that I like, to see if I really am as out of touch as I beleive I am:

Kaiser Chiefs
Muse
Editors
The Kooks
Pendulum
Pigeon Detectives
Mika
Scouting for Girls
Kasabian

Or maybe (via some circular logic) they are so uncool they are cool in a retro / ironic sort of way?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i quite like springsteen

Yes! Another Mika fan! Well, I say fan, I thought he was really good live at Glastonbury last year.
