Inspired by biblical thread "Let's discuss a single tune...", here's a similar version for the bands.

But rather that just discuss about the band, let's make it more complete: you can introduce the band to an other member, rank your favourite songs, post your favourite live versions, make the critic of an album, well, you can talk about pretty much everything concerning the band.
The goal is to put a band into the "spotlight" for a week and try to show what makes the uniqueness of the act.

For this week, you have 4 choices: Belle and Sebastian, Big Star, The Divine Comedy and The Coral.
Next week, anyone could nominate one song.

Good idea!

Personally, I don't know a great amount about any of these four bands (besides B&S's Boy With the Arab Strap and Big Star's September Girls), but this could be a good way to learn more about and discuss them.

I saw The Coral for the first time when they supported Oasis on DBTT tour in 2005, but didn't know anything about them back then. I liked their songs, but that was it. Their album "Butterfly House" from 2010 made me got into them. It was and still is a great album. I was completely sold when I heard "Roving Jewel" for the very first time. I saw them in October 2010 for the second time and I met James before the gig. In Total I've seen them 4 times (2005, 2010, 2011,2016). My Mancunian friend never wanted to try to give a listen to The Coral, just because they're from Liverpool (stupid!), but I made him to listen to "Butterfly House" and he liked it.

For some reason they're still (shamely) underrated, but if there's any British band with the legacy of The Beatles, it should be The Coral.

I saw Coral supporting Oasis at Finsbury in 02, they were very impressive given the size of the gig and how early their career it was

Much better than Shack who followed them and were dire

The Debut and 2nd album are great but I lost touch with them when they appeared to be releasing an album every year or so it seemed

Shoutbox

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

Bonehead's Barber: Why has the banner gone black? Oct 11, 2024 12:36:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form

ginwaiting: Hey I was lucky to get tickets for Heaton Park on the 19th July, my mate also got tickets so we have all decided to go on another night so I would like to sell my tickets for the 19th. Please drop me a message if you interested. Thanks Nov 6, 2024 7:17:10 GMT -5
