Just started that 2nd part. Almost forgot I was watching a documentary, not porn  Some crazy stuff there! Partly why it was banned amongst other reasons, with Mick Jagger also rumoured to have been keen on keeping the footage suppressed- they were a genuinely dangerous band to be around at that period with more than one associate being crippled by or dying from drug addiction, etc. |

Though singles may seem largely obsolete, earmarking the most accessible songs on an album for the casual listener can help them fall in love with the album, instead of leaving them to sift through a collection of 10-13 songs, searching for one they like. Which, in today's society of short attention spans, is rather appropriate.

Thanks guigsysEstring . I also found Led Zeppelin The Song Remains The Same (1976). Thought it would be good. The band themselves aren't too fond of that IIRC, but it is a good time capsule of where they were mentally at that point in a similar way that Be Here Now encapsulates Oasis in 1997  Does anybody remember laughter? |

I've never been more disappointed by a Yellowcard song. The fuck is this shit? "Going back to the '90 with this one", they said. What a bunch of hooey that is.

Rolling Stone Magazine has made some questionable moves and released some questionable stuff in recent times, but I think they nailed it with putting Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone at #1. That song is absolutely incredible.

That song is absolutely incredible. Their "100 greatest guitarists" list is a joke. John Lennon (55), for example, is ahead of Rory Gallagher (57)! Rory should be in top-5. Stevie Ray Vaughan should be higher than 12th too. John Squire isn't even listed. |

John Squire isn't even listed. Don't forget Nick McCabe! Not even sure if I've ever seen him on a "greatest guitarists" list! No but he has over the years appeared on a fair few 'most underrated guitarists' lists/debates, both by amateur and professional critics. Spy District includes the Owen Morris quote that Nick was “without a shadow of a doubt the most gifted musician” he’d ever worked with. NME 2008 cool list via Observer had Nick McCabe at #26. Adam Perry for Westword in December 2014 wrote ( link via Adam Perry Writes ) So although he isn't an instantly recognisable name like Noel Gallagher, Slash or perhaps Jimmy Page I think he is well respected within music circles. |

Just dug out Regular Fries 'Accept The Signal' forgot how great they were! I remember seeing them support Ian Brown years ago, but hadn't heard those tunes for a long time |

Two bands thoughts for tonight: Belle and Sebastian are a bit like Oasis. They released their three best albums in the 90's and after they went downhill. These first three though... Ok, it's not of these bands who were able to make an "anthem" but they were absolutely brilliant at what they were doing. If you like beautiful, melancholic baroque pop, the first three are a "must have". Some members of the band dismissed the third record "The Boy with the Arab Strap" but it's as good as the first two. Don't know if anyone loves the band on here ( andybellwillring IIRC) but if you don't know them go listen the three albums I've talked about. Here are some links: Other thought is about the band "Alvvays". Fuck, I love their debut album, my favourite album of the last five years. I'm not ashamed to say I prefer listen to it more than the two Noel's albums ! It's not the kind of band that is revolutionnary, but the music just puts a smile on your face. The guitars are tasty and very melodic, it's got that great nostalgic "90's" vibe. Can't wait to hear the second album. Here are some tunes if you don't know them, even if some members and I already did mention them a bit  |

Mr. Jones is easily in my top 10 of the 90's. It never gets old.
August and Everything After is the best album of 1993 as well. That's right... suck it In Utero and Siamese Dream.

I always find it really exciting when you get into a new band. It could be a band you never heard of before or only knew one hit song but nothing else. It's like meeting a friend, getting to know the band's singles, albums, lesser known songs, history, looking at live gigs. It's a great feeling and you never know which band is going to pique your interest one year after the next.

Speaking of getting into new bands, I've recently been very much enjoying getting to know a band called Sloan. They are one of the most well respected and recognized Canadian bands, and I've always known of them (I thought of them as the Canadian Oasis sound-wise in the 90s) and even seen them live once in 2009, it never struck me to explore their back catalogue until now. These guys are tremendously talented - they're all quality songwriters and musicians and even switch instruments live.
Their most popular songs are Money City Maniacs and Everything You've Done Wrong but I want to share these 2 with you.
The second song shows Sloan's humour. It's about regretting teaching your ex-girlfriend to play guitar cos now she's writing songs about you.
See what you think, you may like it.

I knew I could see Pop for what it truly is and not what the critics had labeled, but I never figured it out until now. It's truly an album that focuses on the concept of a man lost in a different World than what he had grown up in (If God Will Send His Angels, Staring at the Sun, Wake Up Dead Man, Gone) and is trying to find his place (Discotheque, Miami, The Playboy Mansion), despite suffering loss (Mofo), hardship (Please), and yearning for the same kind of love known before (Do You Feel Loved and If You Wear That Velvet Dress) while seeing his old self in others (Last Night on Earth).
Outside of that basic concept, the album's instrumentation is brilliant all throughout. Adam's bass playing is some of his best stuff and The Edge was at his most unique with his playing. I wish I could say much about Larry but his style does shine well in certain songs like Please, despite many of them relying on samples.

I love this Manics album, The Holy Bible, so many awesome songs.
A curious fact: it was released at the same day and year as Definitely Maybe.

I'm amazed how powerful Zacks voice is for one man, listened to Prophets of Rages recent gig in Toronto. Props to Chuck D and B-Real for taking over lead vocals, they're completely different from Zack though and even with the both of them they don't come close to matching Zacks power in Rages songs. They sound solid on their own songs though with the rest of Rage backing them like on Prophets of Rage. If they ever headed my direction I wouldn't mind going out and seeing them.

I'm listening to Verve's Forth album at the moment, and this time, just like the last, I find myself wondering: Who put I See Houses on this otherwise very fine record?
ISH is like solo Ashcroft bside material. And it sounds out of place on Forth. Everything else on Forth holds up really well.
The bsides from this album were great too:
Mohamed Ali
Mama Soul
All Night Long (the best one IMO)
Major Force
Chick Dub
Mover
easily would have preferred one of those.
That said, I always love the Verve. After Oasis the Verve were the second band I fell in love with. The rest is history from there. (actually it was the Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Jam, Buzzcocks, and Smiths next but nevermind)
