3. Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler- his talent kills me
Not a lot of people realise he is Scottish. Thats where his greatness eminates from

The woman sings, writes lyrics, dances, plays guitar (albeit, not so well ) and produces. She's not still a major force in the music industry because she sucks!

Being a major force in the music industry today doesn't have a whole lot to do with not sucking.
And her lyrics suck butt.
"I Love New York"
I don't like cities
But I like new york
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London
Baby you can keep
[Chorus]
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad except New York
I love New York [X3]
If you don't like my attitude
Then you can F off
Just go to Texas
Isn't that where they golf
New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat
Then get off my street
I wish I could write like that. No wait... I'm not. My consciense wouldn't let me without a violent urge to commit suicide.
That said, I generally like her music.

gman said:I like seeing all the diversity of what ppl like listening to. There are more than a few on here that have very similar taste in music. I wish i had a wider range of music to listen to.
CTU2fan said:Oh yes they do...and it starts with a "L"

I know, lots of different bands on everyone's lists. I need to find a new band, I haven't gotten excited about a new artist in probably 10 years. Well Snow Patrol are pretty good...
Zootlesque said:Yeah... I Love New York is a terrible example to showcase Madonna's songwriting abilities when there is stuff like Live To Tell, Oh Father, Frozen, This Used To Be My Playground and several great upbeat danceable songs like Deeper And Deeper, Like A Prayer, Jump, Beautiful Stranger etc. ILNY is her worst song ever! Despite being somewhat disappointed in recent U2, I don't think they have any songs that are bad as ILNY.

Keane (Snowed Under )
gman said:
You could do a lot worse than check out James. Very similar to u2 in that, simple three chords and the truth tunes, catchy sing-a-long choruses etc and some really brill lyrics.
check out these toons.

Zootlesque said:I was gonna comment on Snowed Under before. Really, anything by Keane is So refreshing for a band without a guitar player!
And Brit... I see you're quite the Madonna fan!
U2isthebest said:I have not heard "Snowed Under" btw. What's it from?
U2isthebest said:Keane is a band I've just been getting into over the past few months, but I am absolutely in with both albums so far. Is there any news on when a third might come out?

James were fantastic weren't they? I bet most bands would kill to be able to release a best of as perfect as James' 1998 one. 'Out To Get You' is another favourite of mine.

Post your email! It's a bonus track from Hopes and Fears.
Hopefully soon! I'm waiting for it!
