LM, if you're in here somewhere, I just cranked up your playlist

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The first song flows perfectly into Viva La Vida.

VLV is a song that I love but, admittedly, I've kinda worn it out since the album came out and I'm starting to get sick of it. I can sing every word in my sleep.

Cool. Keep me posted; I'll be around. I have some album downloading to do.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah, I listened to that Jeremy Enigk song by accident like a week ago, and said to myself, I said, "Fuck me if that wouldn't segue right into Viva la Vida!" and so I put it at the front of my playlist I'd been working on (which was led of by our very own VLV) and it fucking worked, dinnit?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Glancing at your list, I think that around 14 or 15 of your 32 artists are artists I've never heard of. So this should be interesting. One of those artists is Gosling, and I'm on that track now.

 

[the tourist]

They were my favourite band until they broke up when V2 (the record company The White Stripes and Stereophonics were on) dissolved.

Well you certainly weren't lying when you said it was noisy! I'm glad my downstairs neighbours moved out, or else I'd be worrying about disturbing them.

But I like it. I don't think there are enough heavy rock fans on this site

Currently on The Drowners and liking it

As Tourist pointed out earlier, it does calm down a bit towards the halfway mark, but you have a ways to go yet.

Oh man, I love Suede, and basically anyone who claims Bowie as a main influence.

The Suede track was fucking brilliant, btw. I'd never heard them before.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Okay, I fucking love this Sonic Youth song

That one was pretty fucking sweet too.

The debut album that song is from is much heavier than its sequel Dog Man Star, which is more like depressing, strung-out prog compared to the glammy metal of the other, but they're both really strong.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Oh my god! Sabotage My mom is obsessed with this song. Seriously.

 

[the tourist]

I'll have to blogsearch.google it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

George Harrison was a genius.

Obsessed?

I'm surprised my ears didn't start bleeding when I put together this section. Not only are the songs loud, but they were cranked up especially loud for the occasion.

 

[the tourist]

George Harrison was a genius.

Still is in my eyes. Still is....

 

[LemonMelon]

George Harrison was a genius.

My favorite Beatle.

 

[the tourist]

My favorite Beatle.

That's really hard for me to say. They all have their things. George and John were better songwriters. Paul was a better musician. So fucking hard.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Obsessed?

Yeah, when she gets into a phase where she goes around singing it a lot, I usually tell her she's grounded My family is backwards.

Also for Elastica. I always forget that that song exists, but I really like it. Rock needs more awesome female vocalists.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I like Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo work but I wish he'd stop fucking around so the Strokes can get back together and make that 4th album.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

That's really hard for me to say. They all have their things. George and John were better songwriters. Paul was a better musician. So fucking hard.

I have an unnatural hatred for Paul McCartney.

 

[the tourist]

Actually, you can blame the lack of 4th Strokes albums on Julian. Hammond just does this in the downtime.

Too poppy?

I wouldn't call it "downtime"

He's been touring substantially for the last two years.

Haha...screaming SABOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE is quite therapeutic.

Yeah, that Elastica record is really good. Too bad they only made two.

Thanks to Julian being generally rich and unmotivated.

I like Paul's solo work most of all, but compared to John and George, I think his work with the Beatles is lacking a bit, and that's what matters most to me.

Ram is the shit though. I can't deny this.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Too poppy?

That, and overrated like hell. And I don't see how the fuck he was 'the cute one'

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Well, yeah but they were always rich.

I know Julian got married a little bit before the last album came out. Maybe he's just settling down. Tryin to start a family maybe?

By the way, Julian is one of my favorite frontmen of all-time. The Strokes don't get talked about nearly enough on this site.
