"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.

Everyone knows "Highway Star", well, knows the tune.
Their best tune is Space Truckin' though.

Alongside Zeppelin and Radiohead, they're my favourite band.

I'm listening to "Child In Time" just now, actually.
I love the progression up to the guitar solo.

Anyway, Airbag's pretty good (by radiohead) too, as are Bones and Planet Telex.

Yup.

I've got 3 comps. One away from home with broadband. This one with 56k. And a games one without internet at all. The second 2 are about to get broadband soon though.

*see tagline.

I thought you'd like that one.

What about Black Star, Planet Telex, Bones?

Knew you wouldn't like them.

Try the Kid A and Amnesiac stuff too.

*Shrugs*

I think I got the Joe Jackson one off Limewire.

Bought the entire album now anyway.

Edit: You still on dial-up? I just found Waterfall Cities on Limewire in 15 seconds. :P

'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.

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)

Will do.

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

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.

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.

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.
