This forum needs an injection of some sort of life - oh how i yearn for the glory days.. Achtung Baby is generally the favourite album of most U2 fans (which is why I chose it for this topic)... it sits comfortably as my favourite U2 album, and in my favourite 3 albums of all time. But I want...

Surprised there isn't already a thread on this. It has to have been the most exciting thing happening in world sport these past 3 weeks or so. 2018 England Spain/Portugal Russia Benelux 2022 Australia Japan South Korea Qatar USA The announcement is to be made on 2 December (the day between...

Out this week is the debut solo offering from Interpol frontman Paul Banks, going under the alias of Julian Plenti. Album has already leaked I'm pretty sure and I think all the songs are on You Tube, but I'll probably go and buy this from a local when it's out in Melbourne. Heard some snippets...

Not U2 songs that have necessarily grown in appreciation for yourself individually, but songs that have grown in appreciation just generally amongst the U2 fraternity of fans. Why raise this? I found the endurance of One Step Closer quite impressive in the Survivor competition. Could have...

You can have your Michaels, Janets and Brownes, but I'll have my Joe... This guy is a cracking songwriter. He's so much more than just Is She Really Going Out With Him. I'm still only familiar with his older stuff but Joe Jackson's tunes ooze with passion. Love it. I love the feeling. I love...

Starts this weekend. Victorian lad Cadel Evans is favourite, would be a massive achievement for him to win the thing. Australia's best athlete at the moment bar none. Love the strategies implemented by teams and individual riders across the tour, will be engrossing to watch unfold. No Contador...

In September we have the release of another Morrissey album. :hyper: Years of Refusal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Loving some of these typically Morrissey-esque song titles Something Is Squeezing My Soul Because Of My Poor Education It's Not Your Birthday Anymore You Were Good In Your...

What a ridiculously fine song. I've always enjoyed the song immensely, but only recently have I become obsessed with it. A real feel good groove to it, I find it very soothing...and it's much better then that wretched Salmon Dance song. Chem Bros have always had good videos, and the Star...

New REM album just announced in the past couple of days. Supposedly features some much more up-tempo songs, hence the album title 'Accelerate'. List of potential tracks: "Accelerate" "Hollow Man" "Horse to Water" "Houston" "I'm Gonna DJ" "Living Well Is the Best Revenge" "Man Sized...

The Man Who is a classic album. Only discovered this gem earlier this year. Never used to go on Travis much. Loved Sing, but I could never really apreciate Why Does It Always Rain On Me? But when I heard WDIAROM live, and when I listened to it as part of the classic album that is The Man Who...

After last year's drug debacle involving Floyd Landis, one hopes that this year's tour is drug-free. It's been a cracking race so far. Cancellara's remarkable 3rd stage victory yesterday was really something. You have to feel for the three Frenchmen and the Belgian who made that breakaway...

SBS had an amazing French movie on 2 weeks back called Love Me If You Dare. It's a romantic comedy that features countless nasty twists and surprises, and the performance of the two lead actors is second to none. It is shamelessly perfect. An emotional rollercoaster ride through the lives of...

One of the sweetst genres of music out there....endlessly and immensely enjoyable. Here's a few for your consideration: Gin Blossoms Better Than Ezra Collective Soul Toad The Wet Sprocket Tonic Counting Crows The Rembrandts Dishwalla Everclear Fuel Goo Goo Dolls The Refreshments Crash test...

Breaking news: The Poland/Ukraine bid to host the 2012 European championship has won out against the Italy 2012 and Hungary/Croatia 2012 bids. Bit of an upset, Italy was hot favourite to win the right to Euro 2012, while the Polish/Ukrainian bid only scraped through to make the final shortlist...

This is the worst song I've ever heard! How did it get to Number One in Australia? Where did this Hinder band come from anyway? It's just ghastly. Who's buying it? People whinge about Crazy Frog getting to number one. At least that had some novelty value going for it. This Lips Of An Angel...

I've been listening to Ian Brown's Music Of The Sphere's. OK-ish album. Not a classic by any means, but damn, F.E.A.R is one of the sweetest songs ever written! Northern Lights is a highlight too.... But it's all about FEAR for me. What very cool lyrics and it surprised me to hear Sir Ian...

Great Aussie band from the 90's who had the smash hit, Happy Birthday Helen. I only know a few of their songs, but I reckon they're all brilliant. The splendid, sweet paino-driven tune Wild Flowers is a fave of mine and is full of lyrical intrigue..... " Hey, we're all just earings to the...

Bloc Party, who released 2004's popular Silent Alarm, are hoping to consolidate on the success of their debut album with the release of their second album, Weekend In The City, early next year. Personally, I found Silent Alarm pretty decent. So Here We Are was one of the coolest singles of...

For anyone who might care the slightest..... Everyone seems to reckon Bracksy will win it easy, but I reckon the Toorak Toff might pull off a surprise come November whatever-the-date-is..... Terry Mulder announced today that the not-so-Liberals (at least at federal level) wanna extend the...

Can anyone confirm that U2 will appear on Rove next week? I caught a glimpse of a Television box and I think i saw TEN advertising that U2 were to appear on Rove nex week.... Poor U2 havin' to put up with Rove's" humour"?

MMM announce U2 as their SMACKDOWN winner for 2006. It's a knockout comp where bands go up against each other and people ring or SMS a number to submit their vote for who they want to win. U2 beat ac/dc in the final... http://www.mmmelb.com.au/promo/smackdown/index.php and you can download...

Live, the American band who delivered the timeless Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi amongst other enjoyable albums, have just released their 7th studio album Songs From Black Mountain. Rather dissapointingly, it's pretty much a re-hash of Birds of Pray. Some immensely enjoyable and uplifting...

In recent years, there has been an upsurge in revisionist thought amongst music fans and critics alike that has attempted to glorify Rubber Soul and elevate it above well-documented classics such as Pepper, Revolver and Abbey Road. It is perhaps legitimate to suggest thast Rubber Soul is...

I don't know what is so great about Feel Good Inc.Rather average track IMO. Gimme Dirty Harry and Dare anyday... Dare is one of my favourite singles from 2005. An amazing track. Utterly gorgeous. That the song features the legendary Shaun Ryder is a great thing in itself, but his vocal is...
