Keane have gone past the point of boring me too, "somewhere only we know" will still hold my attention but that's about it.Quote:

Loving the Rilo Kiley album at the moment

One of my favourite artists is Nick Cave, and, being a piano playing singer songwriter, most of the bad seeds songs use piano.
Paul Brady - The Island
John Spillane - Hey Dreamer
Aziz Ibrahim - Lahore To Longsight
Something Corporate are the top piano rock band about at the moment.
Surprised no-one has mentioned 'Mylo - Destroy rock n' roll'. Mild dance music (i.e. won't give you a nose bleed) with some great tunes in there.
Just got 'Thunder Lightning Strike' by 'The Go! Team' . An absolutely superb album. Infectiously lively and uplifting music from start to finish - sounds like the soundtrack to a cartoon super-hero film (imagine an album full of tunes in the vain of 'Self Preservation Society' from The Italian Job). Mild dance with a complete mix of loads of different influences - would inject energy into someone in a coma.
A bit wacky, but get it - you won't be disappointed....
Click here to listen to a few tunes on their site : http://www.thegoteam.co.uk/layout.html
Listen in the following order : 3, 4, 2, 5, 1.
To hear more than 3 tunes you have to register, but it's literally a 10sec job.
for something further afield, the band Sightings have this amazing record 'arrived in gold' - what a clatter, the songs sound half-formed and bizarre, imagine a demonically possessed fridge trying to play a guitar
for something sunnier and unrelentingly groovy, it is difficult at present to top M.I.A.'s 'arular' - great london/sri lankan lass incorporates grime, bhangra, and lotsa vocal undulations for the sexiest political record ever

My favs are:
Mark Knopfler - "Shangri-la"
Judas Priest - "Defenders of the faith"
Queen - "News of the world"
Me too, seen him 2002 when he supported Manics in the point but didn't know much of his solo stuff then. So really looking forward to him.Quote:

They do a great gig and seem to always sell out in Dublin. One of the best gigs I've ever been to was The Complete Stone Roses at the Olympia two Christmas' ago. Played This is the One for about 10 minutes! :eek: I'll be hoping for announcement of their addition to the bill. Fingers crossed.Quote:

Believe it or not I'm gonna add 'Suck Fony' by Wheatus to my list. Bought it the other day cos it was my firsttime with money in ages and I just wanted something... surprisingly good, especially 'Lemonade'. :eek:
the bravery, the dears and bloc party are three good cd's ive bought recently.hard to say which album would be the best i've ever bought but deus(the ideal crash) and jeff buckley(grace) would have to be up there as two of my favorites.
Only bought Muse - Absolutition a while back, stunning album.

Totally impressed actually compared to their earlier work.
