"Name that song (please)"

The song that goes "Every day I love you less and less" or something like that.

It's excellent but I have no idea who the artist/band is.

Yup. Some other better stuff too. Amazing drum and guitar solos from their Japan tour... Might like them if you're into Dire Straights. My mates a big DS fan, but I prefer Deep Purple myself.

Heh. This shows how you like "active" music.

Good, good.

Yet you slate Thom. They are probably the most variable band. I suggest you get some of their stuff from Amnesiac or Kid A. If you don't like that stuff, then go to the other end of the scale and check out Kid A and OK Computer. Hail to the Thief might be a nice halfway house to start at.

> Velvet Underground - Step Brother likes them. Haven't heard.

Not sure if you'd like them or not. Try getting a bit of their stuff. Run, run, run. Femme Fatale. Heroin.

Pffft. Can't see that link myself. Don't like Stone Roses much.

Some god awful stuff in there, but Dandy Warhols, The Verve, Velvet Revolver and Dire Straights revive it a bit.
:)

Conclusion:

I like heavier stuff than you.

Where your music range ends (Velvet Revolver, G 'n R) mine is just beginning.

I even like about 3 Rammstein songs. :D

Pretty much, yeah.

That's not to say I don't dip into the heavy stuff every now and then.

I quite like some of the heavier Metallica and I'm quite partial to my SOAD.


However there are some damn weak/crap bands in your bands. (As I'm sure you'd say about me if I put mine up...)

Really good depending on the situation.

'Nu Metal' bands are generally great for playing games to.

I like how many of them have simply ditched solos because it doesn't fit in with how they do things. So they bring a fresh approach which beats listening to the same old formula tme and time again.

Of course the masters of breaking formula are Joe Jackson and Ozric Tentacles.

Both of which are so varied that you'd find it hard not to find 10 songs from each that you like - I kid you not.

Oh great way to add to the debate.

What i have heard I haven't like very much, therefore I have little incentive to listen to anymore. When I say I haven't heard much, I've heard a fair bit but I can remember very little. Aside from 'Just' the Radiohead songs I've heard on MTV etc haven't made much impression on me either way (although that is me being nice - I pretty much changed the channel).

Like I said about Blur - Not fussed.

But there's so much more depth in their albums than their hits suggest. Especially the jazzyness of Amnesiac or frantic/calmdown stuff in Kid A. OK Computer has a mix. Hail to the Thief has a mix. I think you'd like the heavier songs on The Bends.

Point is. Get a couple and not only will I be satisfied, but you might have found a couple more songs to redeem your faith in music as a whole.
:)

I've plenty of faith in music.

I just don't have much faith in the music that charts.

Right 'The Bends' here we go...

You grab a few tracks off Waterfall Cities then.

Or 'Thugs are us' by Joe Jackson who does a completely different genre for each album he does, and I'd bet has a more varied back catalogue than Radiohead.

Good good.

For you I reccommend pretty much everything EXCEPT Bulletproof, Nice Dream, Fake Plastic Trees.




For diversity sakes, Life in a Glass House, You and Whose Army (Amnesiac)

and National Anthem, Idioteque (Kid A)



> You grab a few tracks off Waterfall Cities then.

Will do.

Any links to some that aren't on limewre etc? Otherwise it may take a bit...

'My Iron Lung' is good.

'Street Spirit' is awful and represents the sort of thing that has kept me from listening to much Radiohead.

'The Bends' just sounds like a song by Cast. Throw-away pop.
