and that gobsh*te Paddy Casey only ever seems to play cover versionsthis my friend sounds like the opinion of someone who's never been to a proper Paddy Casey gig or has'nt bought any of his great albums.
He is one of the best singer/songwriters in the country & the only time he plays covers is at live shows & on today fm ('no diggity' with the dublin gospel choir was a genius idea that sounded great).
Please be more informed before posting silly comments.

[Supersonic_779]

Ian Brown

Its 'keep what ya got' ;)

[Pat O' Banton]

Paul Weller has a 'best of' coming out for the christmas market. His covers album is out with a bit.
The Beautiful South's album sounds poor & lazy from what I"ve heard, and I normally like their stuff

[fosterdollar]

Please be more informed before posting silly comments.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Who says I've never been to a gig? I stand by my point anyway. The man goes on radio promoting himself using covers. FACT.

[thecorner]

[thecorner]

Danzel - Pump It Up (heard it tonight - class)

[ccfcman]

Apart from Kasabian, how they heard of them in Longford, I'll never know I'd also say enh-uh *the sound of no in family fortunes :D *

[Maz]

Oooooh, believe me, the deejays in Blazers have them alright.

There is not one MTV friendly hip hop song that they will leave untouched in the average night. Oh, and maybe throw in a Kylie or two...

Next time I'm going to Blue. It MUST Be better, surely...

they save the nice music for when the cork boys come to visit! However as bad as Blazers is on a Saturday night, thats where the crowd is, no one goes to Blue!!
Go to Blue on a thurs, fri and sun and you will never be disappointed, quality music!

[max power]

conor how bout ya stay in kerry with ur other music snob mates and discuss the powerful nature of the influence led zeplinn has had on modern music or the reasons for decline and underground push of the dance scene worldwide over the last three years ;)

[TheJamaicanP.M.]

Conor, we have evolved quicker than ye monkey-like creatures in South Kerry. Blazers plays some good tunes. Somehow I feel that you probably spend your weekend at ceilis - you with the lads on one side of the dancehall, the lovely farmers daughters on the other side. I can just imagine the local parish priest keeping his eye on proceedings and checking that nobody is dancing too close together. :p

Give me Blazers any day.

[Pat O' Banton]

Mozza - Last of the Gang
The Killers - All these Things
Beastie Boys - Ch Check It Out
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

... and from the Jeez that really was quite good
Rachel Stevens - Sweet Deams My LA ex
Brittany Spears - Toxic
Go on admit it you liked at least one of these two... ;)

[gustavo]

yeah pat they were both quite good but i think at least 1 of them was from 2003 :)

[Pat O' Banton]

When you get to my age all the years just begin to blend into one :eek: ;)

[Pat O' Banton]

Think its worth resurrecting this to add in Graham Coxon's 'Really Freekin' Out', also I don't think anyones mentioned 'Hey Ya' by Outcast.

Another additions a month on?

[fosterdollar]

City Of Blinding Lights - U2

[Lionel Ritchie]

When you get to my age all the years just begin to blend into one :eek: ;)

Absolutley -I'm proud to say I thought scissors sisters "Take your mama" was a Robbie Williams song -not just the first time i heard it either -for about 6 months -I'd tend to change station when i'd hear it so i never got to hear it introduced and as Robbie is a despicable shaved chimp I couldn't bare to listen to it. Similarily, I also thought Keanes "everything changes" was Radiohead moving back towards something more radio friendly. :eek:

Sorry but I'd be sticking a big D- on the class of 04s copybook and telling them to stop cogging their big brothers homework.

Franz ferdinand -the ultimate XTC tribute -resplendentwith blancmange type gulpy vocals

Strokes/Hives/Jet -are actually all the same band working under several names to get extra pay

Damien Rice -y'know if we started taxing the use of the Em7 chord we could put a halt on his and his ilks gallop quite quickly. Seriously we've become far too indulgent of this kind of thing in this country and it's time to consider a cull.

Morrissey - You Are the Quarry was worth it for the two singles and 'Come Back to Camden' but there's some very ordinary stuff on there as well.

i'm kinda undecide on these guys. Sometimes i get it and others, nope.


Strokes/Hives/Jet -are actually all the same band working under several names to get extra pay
Think you're way off the mark here. Strokes showed with their second album that they do have intelligent song writing ability and its not just tried and tested formulae they stick to. HIves I havent heard enough of really but wht i did i liked - not much more to add to that. Jet, on the other hand, are just another NME loved shower that wrote a few songs which happened to fit in style-wise with what record cos. were looking for this/last year. I'm still reeling from the loss of what I paid for that album.


Damien Rice -y'know if we started taxing the use of the Em7 chord we could put a halt on his and his ilks gallop quite quickly. Seriously we've become far too indulgent of this kind of thing in this country and it's time to consider a cull.
At last! Fair play to you Lionel. I've been waiting for support on this for so long. It's not that's it's sh!te music per se but it doesnt take very long for it to lose it's freshness. It's typical really, a load of young ones who don't take their music too seriously at the best of times get together to buy Damo Rice, Mic Christopher, AN Other Self-indulgent Ortist CD's and go gigs and the whole thing escalates into a new movement. Sad thing is Nick Drake, David Gray and the like all came along way before these guys but they don't get the same credit (although admittedly D.G. did get a little nauseating on his second round in the charts).


Morrissey - You Are the Quarry was worth it for the two singles and 'Come Back to Camden' but there's some very ordinary stuff on there as well.
Agree completely. But is Moz really class of '04?

[Pat O' Banton]

Didn't bother with the second Strokes album as I thought the singles sounded pretty much like the first and that was badly overrated. I really am getting old as I've only got one album from this year - The Killers, which I think is a fine investment - as for the rest, I will probably get Franz Ferdinand and The Libertines second effort and thats about it.

Much of everything else seems average; Razorlight surely have the most annoying looking man in pop as their lead (I don't know why he annoys me so much) and had the cheek to rip off the start of Christine by The House of Love and still manage to produce a crap single. Kasabian? I already own Happy Monday's albums so there's no point in buying poor quality imitations. Jet - Mrs O' B wanted to know if Iggy Pop has thought about sueing yet for nicking his 'Lust for Life'. I don't actually mind The Hives although I think in five years time they'll be as well remembered as Moose or Menswear (who are they? exactly.)

And I don't think that this is getting old either, I mean you can tell that Jesus and Mary Chain are influnced by The Beach Boys and the Velvet Underground but they don't sound exactly like them, similarly My Bloody Valentine being influenced by JAMC. Many band today just try to produce something that sounds pretty much a replication of their influnces rather that taking these influnces and doing something with them. Rant over, oh and although the above many be incoherent ramblings its still a damn sight better put together than anything you will read in NME. :mad:

[the 12 th man]

Rachel Stevens - Sweet Deams My LA ex
Brittany Spears - Toxic
