"Advice from YOU! *recommendations*"

No rambling. No endlessness. No non-sequeter comments. (well if you have to :) ) Read the flippin' post before you blab on about wham's first album, etc. thanks.

basically i'm looking to expand my music collection and the people below are by no means the only music i listen to, infact the opposite. i know, in some cases diddly squat about them and wanted a bit of guidance from you guys.

so here goes. any really good songs by them, like the one stated, or even a band like them if you highly rate them:

moby- anything not on 18?
run DMC
tenacious D- pre current album
the strokes- like reptilia, someday, 12:51, hard to explain
blur
joe budden- like song on madden '04
travis
outkast- like hey ya, i like the way you move, any stuff on the 2 new albums?
queen
de la soul
franz ferdinand- like or other than, take me out
basement jaxx- like or other than plug in, where's your head at
ludacris
jet- like or other than will you be my girl
the who
daft punk
lightning seeds
stereophonics

cheers.

not bending my back to dodge the legal boundaries of the net, i have bought some of the mentioned CDs.

Lightning Seeds- Like You Do (greatest hits)
£2.14
Feeder- Echo Park
£5.24
Franz Ferdinand- " "
£9.19
Blur- Best of Blur (greatest hits)
£4.23
Daft Punk- Discovery
£3.23

---------------------

these were just the ones i got second hand. i have a £20 voucher from christmas for HMV as well...

so far:

Feeder- Echo Park. 8/10.

initial impressions say that this will be "one of those" albums that is like a fine wine. improves with age. definitely one i will like having listened to it more, but only 4 or 5 songs aren't perfectly good in my opinion.

Blur_ Best of Blur. 7/10.

couple of hits on here i forgot they did. i like the general feel of each song. one that will have to grow on me if i'm going to love it, but quite a few good songs for the meanwhile.

Lightning Seeds- Like You Do. To come.


**anyone know who does, and the title of the song that has the main chorus lines as:

she's so hiiiiiiiiiiiiyiyyiyigh. high above us

just the one, ashley. cheers.

as i said, i've got a copy of master of puppets, but i don't really like it at all. there are moments that i think are great, but i guess i don't like the old style rock, long songs and to me a kind of japanese long strum guitar technique.

there you go NY

its just be released as a dance remix by "dreamgate".

I'm not sure its enya but somebody told me it was. Its written by Hans Zimmer and Lisa gerrard though (well they did the music for gladiator).

Yep, sounds like the one. Think it's by Enya.

hmm, maybe.

it's a strong voiced women and a kind of african, ethnic feel and then the main bit. hard to describe when i haven't heard it for 10 hours and can't remember it :)

Most of the score from that movie is by Hans Zimmer, he's definately on classic fm a lot..! You could be thinking about 'Now We Are Free'.

Jon the Hooker?

sounds like he could be a bit sick :)

i've listened to classic fm as well. there are 2 or 3 songs i need the name of the song AND artist for. anybody know them?

1) The song from Gladiator (movie). i say "the" song, because to me it's the main one. used the most throughout and the most notable.

2) this one you really have to know it. it's this black guy, with long dreads and tiny silver glasses. he just sits on the box and sings, claps and hums beats. there's a film reel effect going over the screen every now and again. it's a bit of singing in a foreign language, but mainly clapping, humming, etc.

thanks.

John Lee Hooker

If you fancy an old man singing blues

He rocks ok. He rocks

cool. see if i can rally some people up to see it.

i've borrowed master of puppets from a good mate, so that will be rated tomorrow.
