James

BVS · 12-18-2004, 02:58 AM

So how many James fans do we have here? I absolutely love this band. I think they had an amazing career with a few blunders. I loved Booth and the Bad Angel, but haven't even checked out the latest Booth solo album...

ZeroDude · 12-18-2004, 04:06 AM

I think most people only know the one song

tennispunk · 12-18-2004, 05:07 AM

Which song is that?
I've got a couple albums -great pop music. I'd recommend the Best of album for those who are just getting into them.

jendzi · 12-18-2004, 05:17 AM

well i think that everyone knows Sit Down... but I love Out To Get You and Seven... and also Runaground, Destiny Calling and so on

that Best Of is very good album... I have also few singles, but no regular albums

Dutch Partygirl · 12-18-2004, 06:39 AM

O sit down, o sit down, sit down next to me!

That's actually the only song I know, I think. But they were never big in my country so that's not too strange.

yertle-the-turtle · 12-18-2004, 07:00 AM

I have one of their singles. Good song.

HeartlandGirl · 12-18-2004, 07:05 AM

I have a couple of their albums and their Best Of. Excellent band, one of my favorites--good music and great singing by Tim Booth. In the United States, "Laid" is the song people would know if they'd know anything by James.

Moonlit_Angel · 12-18-2004, 08:27 AM

I've heard a couple of their songs. I like their one called "Sit Down"

.

It also doesn't hurt that their band name reminds me of a guy I used to know

.

They were excellent. One band that I'm sad I'll never see live.

If you shout... · 12-18-2004, 07:17 PM

I like James..! Far from my favorite band out there, but I can usually listen to them and enjoy myself enough. I think that a number of their songs are pretty outstanding. They aren't the greatest, in my mind, but they're a lot of fun. Good music, good times, good sounds.

lmjhitman · 12-19-2004, 01:24 AM

I do not know this "Sit Down" that everyone is speaking of.
I know "Laid" and I love "Say Something"

ZeroDude · 12-19-2004, 05:52 AM

If ya don't know sitdown your missing out really, on one of my favorite songs ever.......

ADecentMelody · 12-22-2004, 01:25 PM

Sit Down is a great closer, but their best song (imho) is still Don't Wait That Long.

James is a great band. I just recently discovered them through a friend (Thanks, Tim!) right around the time when Millionaires was coming out. It was a great 3 months of discovering great new songs.

Tizer · 12-23-2004, 03:03 AM

Second favourite band. Really strong 'best of' album released which sold by the bucket load. One of the best front men in the business in Tim Booth and fantastic live. Sadly missed.

Angela Harlem · 12-23-2004, 04:44 AM

Bloody Aus is the boondocks arse end of the world. Next thread I'll say we're miles ahead, but with James we're still stuck on Laaaaaaaaaaid, which is an awesome song. I have the single somewhere

Kills me every time

carrieluvv · 12-23-2004, 05:07 AM

born of frustration.......thats one of thiers aint it? love that

Tizer · 12-23-2004, 08:25 AM

Carrieluvv....a very merry christmas to you and yours! Born of Frustration is indeed one of theirs. If you can, find a track called 'Just Like Fred Astaire' from the 'Millionaires' CD. My favourite track of James. x

bsp77 · 12-23-2004, 12:40 PM

'Laid' is the only popular one in the US and think that is primarily due to American Pie.

carrieluvv · 12-24-2004, 12:25 PM

same to you Tizer !!!! hope everything is well with you and your fam...how old is your wee lass now?
*HUGS* with all of my being....remember that thang ya used to say?
