Of course it is and I should have put a smiley on there. I happen to love Oasis and Coldplay and adore Basement Jaxx and Air. Depends on mood...

This is the kind of sh*te that makes me weep for this generation..

NO band, singer, act or anything else is anywhere near being "up there" with Johann Sebastian.
No wonder you are an FFer!!

And Oddboy, Ludwig Van could never have composed what Cobain and Dougan can. Sure, all the mediocre plinkplonk stuff he turned out made him go deaf. I urge you to get a copy of Lifeforms. I'll lend you the album. It will change your life.

With the exception of "Fidelio" and the Pastoral, I can pretty much get by without Beethoven.
Bach is as necessary for life as oxygen itself.
As regards FSoL, back in the days when Donal Dineen was presenting No Disco, he regularly played their stuff. Not particularly bad, but hardly life altering.
For the quinntessential mind blowing, Damascene converting, Lucy in the sky type experience, get your hands on
"St. Matthews Passion".
You will see the light........... you will vote Labour !!

**City Hero** · 14/03/2003, 8:05 PM

Anyone got Tenacious D.

There are a couple of really good tracks on it.

The tracks on the album are either Guns n Roses or Green Day type, or somewhere in the middle.

Being the youngest of a large family, the whole collection thing was a bit fluid, and I have ended up with lots of crap from the 70s.

Hey, I won REO's High Infidelity on the radio when it first came out.

Now way .... they are way out on their own, you just couldn't compare them .... after all did they write "the best song in the world"

No, no, no! I like the album a lot but I'm still embarrassed to own it!

**shedite** · 15/03/2003, 7:41 PM

Teancious D are good. Why did someone dis Relish. Their first album was class and there's a second out in May.

Favourite albums ever -
Stereophonics - Word Gets Around
Norah Jones - Don't know why
Garth Brooks - The Hits

Worst Albums ever (that I bought)
Vengaboys
Aqua
Spice Girls
Eternal

Best album at the moment
RubyHorse Rise - Absolutely class (www.rubyhorse.com)

**shedite** · 15/03/2003, 7:44 PM

And for those old timers of you, I have "Now that's What I call music 1" as well.

1983 - 2 records - only famous one - Red Red Wine

What's the earliest ye have? That was my parents. My first one was 20 (I think). Main track is Dizzy. "I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning...........like a whirlpool it never ends...."

i have now thats what i call music 1 and 2 as well. both are on vinyl. ah, come on theres a lot of famous songs on it. There down in Cork.
I think its on 1 or 2 but one of my fav songs is on it i think. Its called "the Crown" by Gary Byrd and the GB Experience. Sheer Class with the most intelligent lyrics on a record ever. (it deals with black culture, history, slavery etc). Goes on for about 12 minutes. Amazing song.

i have a few ElO songs and albums from before that.

Before I start I agree that Relish are muck, so bloody bland apart from 'Heart Shaped Box'. Anyway, off the top of me head some of my favourites would be...

Guns N'Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987)
Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites (1996)
The Goo Goo Dolls - Superstar Car Wash (think Ash with balls) (1993)
Something Corporate - Leaving Through The Window (2002)
The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About (1999/2000, I can't remember)
Therapy? - Infernal Love (1995?)
HIM - Razorblade Romance (1999)
Husker Du - Candy Apple Gray (1986)
Def Leppard - Hysteria (1987)

And as for my current, new listening stuff (aside from Something Corporate whose debut single 'Punk Rock Princess' is currently for sale):

The Ataris: Goodbye Astoria (great)
Good Charlotte: The Young And The Hopeless (also great)
The Revs: Suck (largely disappointing)
AFI: Sh1te, can't even remember the title... it was a birthday present (mixed)
