[melon]

I really need to get more into boards of canada...I love what I've heard

Wow...funny you mention them! They have a song on a Nick Warren album and it is very good. In fact, this entire double album gives me chills it is so good.

Favorites (in variable order):

1) U2 (these days, I question whether I place it here out of tradition...)
2) Sigur Ros
3) Bjork
4) Orbital
5) Hybrid
6) Radiohead

Some people may wonder why Radiohead has gone down to #6. Well, 1) I *did* say the order was variable ( ), but, after listening to the splendor that is Sigur Ros and the anti-climax that is "Hail to the Thief" (an album that has little new material; but is, rather, studio versions of unreleased live tracks and has very mediocre "Limited Edition" packaging, compared to their last two outings), they have started to go down on my list...

I'm quite old school, yes? Its hard to include newer bands since I like to see a decent back catalogue before I rate them highly.
