I think you're the first person I've seen who has Valtari as the best Sigur Ros album

Not having a go - it deserves more love, and who doesn't like to be steamrolled?

Haha, I admit it is a bit unusual, and it's a really difficult one as I don't think there has ever been a band who release albums that are so consistent in quality. Likewise with many of my favourite artists, the 'best' album alternates from day to day, but Valtari has more of a nostalgic tinge to it.

There's some films, books or pieces of music that resonate more immediately than others. I was already very familiar with Sigur Ros's music, but I guess that album resonates emotionally as to where I was when I first came upon it. Sometimes albums when you first hear them just align perfectly with the person you are at a specific moment in time, and I guess Valtari is one of those albums.

Makes perfect sense, the fact that this is considered one of the weaker Sigur Ros albums shows just how amazing they are. Varuo and Eg Anda are my favourites here.

Hmm, not sure about Lullabies as I'd say it's on of their worst but you might be right about ...Like Clockwork. It's probably the softest so maybe the easiest to get into. Nick Oliveri only sings on a couple of songs on Songs for the Deaf anyway doesn't he? I suppose there's Mark Lanegan on there too.

I would say Lullabies is the best up to Someone's in the Wolf but after that it dives.

Diferent singers on QOTSA albums
SFTD Millionaire, Another Love Song, Six Shooters, Song for the Dead
LtP This Lullaby

And I cant remember.

I wouldn't go as far to say it's their best up to Someone's in the Wolf but you could quite easily cut all the songs after it. If they'd got rid of all of them and put Infinity or The Fun Machine Took A Shit and Died on there (I know they lost tapes for it so couldn't) it would have been up there with Songs for the Deaf for me.

Illmatic

I love illmatic but I always preferred It Was Written

Both great, but illmatic has that laid back production to it, not too much overdub.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
