The backing track of Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) by the Beach Boys has to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. A bit underrated, this one, even if it is on Pet Sounds.

Not sure this goes here, but...
Cast Recordings are NOT the same as a soundtrack!

This is the first concert I ever saw, and it´s one of U2 bests. The outro of All I Want Is You fading into Where The Streets Have No Name is so beautiful... Yeah, amazing gig - I was never really big on U2 until I was about 20 and I watched these live DVDs my brother had bought, I was hooked afterwards. The segues into Where The Streets Have No Name never fails to give me goosebumps. Every time I watch it, it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand, quite literally. Although my favourite is from the Zoo TV tour when they did the combination of Running To Stand Still/Streets Have No Name. The contrast from an intimate bleak song to the widescreen euphoria of Streets shakes me to the core every time. But it was the ending of that show which hit me most, it was the eureka moment for me with regards to U2 - Love Is Blindness (arguably their best song?) segueing into the cover of Can't Help Falling In Love. Love the lyrics and Bono's performance but The Edge's guitar weeps on this one, his finest live performance ever. Although it was the Sydney live performance that was released, the stuff I read from Q Magazine and the likes state that the Glasgow leg of Zoo TV at Celtic Park by all accounts was their greatest gigs - along with the Glasgow crowd (who are absolute bonkers) and the band at their peak, it is the one gig I wish I could go back in time to. |

I've said it before, but there has been so good releases this year so far.
Thank you music, you're just like an old friend who I can always rely on in my good, but also bad times.

#BetterThanOasis (runs away) It's weird how fans of other bands do so love to say this. I mean, in the last week alone, I've seen a Pulp fan, a Blur fan, a Stone Roses fan and a Coldplay fan(!!!!  !!!!) say that their favourite bands are better than oasis. And in each case, no one's actually asked them "so, Pulp or oasis?" or "Blur or oasis?", they've just thrust that opinion out there seemingly out of the blue. Now, obviously I'm not really tagging you in with them, as you're an oasis fan as well yourself, but it's an interesting one why fans of certain bands seem to feel inhospitable - even bitter - towards oasis. Jealousy, perhaps, that oasis achieved a level of popularity their favourite bands never did, despite being less musically varied? Dislike of what they perceive to be the Gallagher's personal characters? |

theyknowwhatimean Probably the fact that disliking Oasis is perceived as "so cool" if you want to play the music critic. And so easy too. Bunch of bohos.

Not really a band, but still...  Batman Begins is among the best and the most significant movie soundtracks of the last 20 years. I remember not liking it that much at first, in the movie works nicely but standalone and played loud is even greater! Countless copies and shameless rip-offs have been made of the Batman theme since 2005. Zimmer's thumping beats and ostinatos are now the golden standard for most action movies, actually... Every track from the album is phenomenal, but Corynorhinus is a perfect blend of Hans Zimmer's electronic-influenced craziness and James Newton Howard's melodic talent. |

I don't have a preference for either, I don't feel the need to attack one while promoting the other as I love them equally. But the 'better than Oasis' thing I get what you're saying. I think they set the benchmark in terms of status, and the overwhelming popularity of them makes other folk feel the need to top that. It's a way of undermining the top level benchmark to get their favourite in place of it. |

I've always wanted to buy some classical music, and as with soundtracks, you've got a point of entry if you've seen the movie, I figured it would be the best way into that world. Do you listen to a lot of movie soundtracks? |

What about the new Kaiser Chiefs song? I liked their first 2-3 albums, really good debut at least, but they can fuck right off with this new one. The world doesn't need a second Coldplay. |

Do you listen to a lot of movie soundtracks? Yeah, I do!  Actually, movie soundtracks were my very first steps in the music world. My parents used to listen to a lot of movie scores when I was a kid, from '50s Bernard Herrmann's works for Alfred Hitchcock films to massive anthems as John Williams' theme for Star Wars (1977) and Superman (1978). Journey to the Island (aka the Jurassic Park theme) was probably the first song I've ever downloaded... back in 2000 I guess, and using Napster  People often ask me suggestions about interesting/lesser known scores to listen to, and one of my frequent answers is The Fountain by Clint Mansell (featuring Kronos Quartet and Mogwai). The 2006 movie by Darren Aronofsky is a bit, well, "puzzling", but the whole soundtrack ( YouTube link) is a real masterpiece in my opinion. Don't let be fooled by the delicate piano at the beginning... this becomes almost otherwordly and incredibly powerful. A sorrow-fueled, powerful and achingly beautiful voyage. Best listened with headphones, at night. Key track: Death is the Road to Awe ( YouTube link, it's more than 8 minutes long but trust me, you have to listen to this! And crank up the volume) |

I'm tired of indie bands turning into electro bands. It's not originial anymore I bet hipsters liked that Kaiser Chiefs atrocious new song, it's fucking shit, it sounds more like a boyband. This talk that bands have to go eletronica it's not a big deal anymore, it used to be cool til 10 years ago, but nowadays I prey for a great guitar based rock band, there are numerous ways for a band to be experimental without going eletronica, go ask Andy Partridge. I remember someone here saying that Oasis should have sounded like Kasabian, and thank god they didn't, they would ended up sounding very superficial as those Kasabian records. |
