List your favourites restricted by the alphabet

[Padj]

There were some very high, highs on their new album, but I did find it a little lesser than the debut overall.

It's funny, when the first came out I thought "Well, they could improve on the vocals". Now when I listened to Glow & Below I found myself missing Daniel Blumberg's voice.

 

[LemonMelon]

A - Arcade Fire
B - The Beatles or Big Star, really depends on the day
C - The Cure
D - Bob Dylan
E - Brian Eno
F - The Flaming Lips
G - Guided By Voices
H - Jimi Hendrix
I - Iron & Wine or Interpol, the former has a better discography overall but Interpol has a better standalone album
J - Joy Division
K - The Kinks
L - Led Zeppelin
M - Joni Mitchell
N - Randy Newman
O - Outkast
P - Pink Floyd
Q - Queens of the Stone Age
R - Radiohead
S - Bruce Springsteen
T - Tame Impala
U - U2
V - The Velvet Underground
W - Kanye West or Wilco, this one is tough
X - XTC
Y - Neil Young
Z - The Zombies

R was a real asshole. Choosing a favorite out of Radiohead, REM and the Rolling Stones, damn.

B was fucking ridiculous though. Beatles, Big Star, Blur, Bowie, Beck, Built to Spill, The Byrds

 

[bono_212]

I really wasn't that attached to the voice, and when I found out he wasn't like, the heart and soul of the band or anything, my dreams became a lot less crushed.

 

[bono_212]

V - The Velvet Underground

That's what I get for basing this on Last.fm plays

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wait, what the fuck just happened in this thread?

 

[IWasBored]

B is a ridiculous letter for this. Sure, Springsteen is technically S, but if the Beatles weren't such a clear, runaway favorite, I'd be looking at about 20 other options that depending on the day, I may go with any of them.

X is easy. Xiu Xiu.

[iron yuppie]

Btw, bet you were breaking your head with P for Police or Floyd.

This is probably the simplest either/or proposition in the history of Interference.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

This is probably the simplest either/or proposition in the history of Interference.

I don't know what exactly you mean but I made the original comment keeping Phanan's tastes in mind. I know that he is very fond of the Police.

 

[iron yuppie]

I don't know what exactly you mean but I made the original comment keeping Phanan's tastes in mind. I know that he is very fond of the Police.

I mean Pink Floyd is about one hundred times the band the Police is.

 

[bono_212]

In your opinion

 

[bono_212]

Y - Yo La Tengo

Dammit, I'm going to end up changing half my last by the time we're done.

 

[No spoken words]

I mean Pink Floyd is about one hundred times the band the Police is.

I prefer listening to The Police.

 

[LemonMelon]

In your opinion

And mine.

Relative to their talents, The Police have to be one of the worst album bands of all time.

 

[Van Cleef]

The Police was an easy choice for me. Love PF, but P = Police.

 

[IWasBored]

I'll take The Pogues over both. But then there's also Pearl Jam...

This isn't even apples and oranges, it's grapefruit and pork chops.

 

[martha]

The Police were a lot of fun.
