alas, there is music other than U2?

[marie1021]

Hi, I want to start a discussion about recommendations for other music, other than our beloved U2.

I love experiencing new music.

Help me do so!!!!!

 

[HelloAngel]

Well, as you flip through the pages of Bang and Clatter, you'll see nothing but music discussion.

What kinds of music do you like?


Welcome to Interference, btw

 

[Popmartijn]

Other music than U2?

Naah, that's not true. There's no other music than U2, we just pretend we hear something different.

C ya!

Marty

P.S. Welcome!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

We all know Radiohead is merely profligating different versions of Pop, now, don't we?

Welcome! Feel free to look around, and take part in discussions. My musical collection has grown like mad since I started coming here.

[Bonochick]

I'm sure everybody is expecting me to say Ryan Adams...and I hate to let people down...so...

Ryan Adams

You can listen to a lot of his music at his official site. Once it loads, click on "Records" on the box flap.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Elastica
Manic Street Preachers

Always good to have something on the 'dodgy' radar.

 

[marie1021]

good morning,

ok..this morning I woke up to conjure one, and again I was impressed. I just knew that fans of U2 would have the best musical taste.
Ok, here are some of my favorites:

Vast, Portishead,Interpol,Jane Siberry, John Coltrane(awesome), Sunny Day Real Estate, Thrusday.
Enjoy!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I'm interested in Jane Sibbery, she's apparently a bit like Gemma Hayes (if I remember right) whom I absolutely adore.

What songs would you recommend?

I would start with freedom is gold, and first word from the cd-lips-music for saying it

Let me know what you think

 

[celia]

My favourite bands are:

Coldplay
Red Hot Chili Peppers
REM
Radiohead
Dave Matthews Band
Travis
The Police

Im a sucker for female artists as well:
Alanis Morissette
Tori Amos
PJ Harvey
Fiona Apple
Bif Naked
Natalie Imbruglia
etc............

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

Not a big shock coming from me, but:

Wilco

You should also check out Neil Finn and/or Crowded House. My other picks have pretty much been covered already.

 

[MrBrau1]

Velvet Underground W/ Lou Reed. You can learn where U2 came from.

 

[IWasBored]

a lot of my favourite bands have already been listed, i've got some more to add that i really like. cos i'm a music junkie

the order of this list makes no sense because most of these bands ahve nothing in common, trying not to repeat any:
the pogues, dropkick murphys, stiff little fingers, live, counting crows, silverchair, nine inch nails, the spitvalves, barenaked ladies, flogging molly

and if you go to www.schoolforthedead.blogspot.com and check the side bar on the left of the screen there's about 7 or so mp3s, i reccommend all of them, but "soup of the moment", "uncomfortable", "omnivore", and "everybody loves martha" are the best. (the band's called school for the dead)

and as been said before, the clash. can't stress enough how necessary it is to own a couple clash albums.
