"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.

Its Kaiser Chiefs - I love you less and less

I'm glad of my "unique" taste everyday.

Otherwise *shudder* I might like more than 2 U2 songs and I'd never have discovered Joe Jackson who did most of this 'new stuff' about 10-15 years ago with more skill and more intelligence.

Yeah this song's good.

Reminds me of some XTC songs I have.

I know you love them...

I'll "acquire" some of their stuff sometime.

Not just another bunch of "The" bands.

'The Tide...' by The Veils sounds like it should be on The Wonder Years. :D

'Where the world begins...' by The Dears sounds like music off somesort of Murder She Wrote movie, it's not half bad later on.

Ok a few more tracks down the line and damn, The Dears singer's a boring little ****, I quite like the music but he's just so DULL! My early Genesis collection's better.


I take it you like a lot 60's stuff then?

So, coming back to this...

You have actually proved a point I made ages ago about a lot of these 'The' bands like The White Stripes and these ones you've just mentioned. They seem to be very influenced by the 60's and early 70's (Rolling Stones etc) but not the 60's and early 70's that I myself like (The Beatles, Genesis, The Who). Consequently I don't like them and I probably never will.

At least with this new wave of 80's influenced bands I can pick a few songs that I like, as you've witnessed here ('oh that sounds like XTC I wonder what band that is?').

Now if the next crop of 'The' bands would like to be influenced by some of the bands I like out of the 60's and 70's I'll be much more likely to listen to them.

I don't like the Rolling Stones much, I never have and I never will. They're quite dull. I'd rather listen to more varied, extreme and/or original music than these RS wannabes thank you very much.

Ha. The Dears are one of the most varied bands out recently. French horns, banjos, harmonicas, violins, etc., etc. All with a very different sound.

Even though their album has a "feel", the songs are pretty much each unique.

Look at Lost In the Plot. It's as if it's two completely different songs in one. Certainly not boring...


And besides, I like The Who.

Perhaps the problem could stem from The Beatles though. I'm not really into their stuff, so maybe that's the core divider.
