One of my big pleasures is some of the stuff thrown up on our Friday night music threads, when I've had a sh*t day I have often had some brandy close by, headphones on and just clicked on the many diverse music videos that our posters like. Sometimes it works when I listen to some stuff I would never have touched in a million years and been pleasantly surprised, the genre's are varied but some just get my attention. As an example, Miley Cyrus, she has a session called the back yard sessions I think, just acoustics and her singing, brilliant she really can sing away from that Wrecking Ball stuff and as for the acoustic or guitar playing threads, as much as I love the stuff it only amplifies (no pun intended) my own inadequacy at playing level, hey ho.
You can if you want to though. I don't get why you'd like the LA's over The Beatles, but I'm not "having a go" at all. I just think you are very very wrong.
I don't like them over The Beatles, I just seem to listen to them more. My favourite band is The Smiths, but I know I listen to Nirvana, The Doors, Hendrix, Radiohead, etc. more often than I do The Smiths.
Some stuff. "Gigantic" and "Debaser" are particularly good. There are a bit too arty at times. Keeping it simple is usually best.
Yeah, anything from Doolittle backwards is great, not a massive fan after that, apart from a few tracks on Bossanova, particularly Velouria.
I like the alternate rock Radiohead of the 90s, pretty much most of the stuff after OK Computer I'm not a big fan of apart from maybe In Rainbows. The Bends might be my favourite ever album, either that or The Queen Is Dead.
