JOE 90!!

 

[phillyfan26]

I recommend (with civility, bitches) Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers (though I only like the Frusciante albums), and Franz Ferdinand.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Crowded House fans who aren't content to settle for a Neil Finn solo album every few years may well appreciate Joe 90. The four-piece band's debut, Dream This, offers a similar meld of thoughtful lyrics and catchy, vibrant pop-rock marked by Chris Seefried's ever-so-slightly sandpapery vocals. Appealing on first listen, the disc reveals depth after a few plays; while tracks such as "Ferris Wheel" and "Mascara" rely as much on craft as art, they're also hard to say no to. A healthy measure of the Lennonesque also makes the likes of "Truth" and "Super Hero" sound familiar while belonging very much to the group. --Rickey Wright

Very cool.

This whole thread makes me very happy. I love seeing people so enthused about the music they love, and people wanting to expand their musical horizons.

Guys, he did say popular artist! and asked for the most accessible albums! That's why I don't understand recommendations like Stone Roses. They had what.. 2 albums?

The quality of those two albums is what matters, and without the Stone Roses, you don't have Brit Pop and will never understand Madchester, two immensely enjoyable moments in music. And by listening to the Roses, he'll definitely get into Smiths, Oasis, Blur and Verve...

So Stone Roses debut album must be his next purchase.

 

[cobl04]

Wow guys thanks a lot. I'm short of time right now, so I'll hit back with some replies pretty soon.

Thanks again!

 

[FitzChivalry]

. . . and without the Stone Roses, you don't have Brit Pop . . .

SHOULD read:

. . . and without The Smiths, you don't have Brit Pop . . .

 

[LemonMelon]

Without the Stone Roses you don't have acid house, and without acid house you don't have Primal Scream or Blur.

Smiths did not start britpop. They weren't even britpop themselves.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Yeah, British pop kinda goes back to even the 60s, doesn't it? Without groups like the Kinks or the Beatles, a lot of the British bands that followed may have never existed.

Also, LOL, COBL_04. You're welcome, have fun! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on whatever you check out.

[cobl04]

Yeah, I'll have to do that all tomorrow I'm afraid, Dad's kicking my off the computer cos my younger sister Amy (who was born on my birthday she was the best present ever aww) wants to sleep in the study for some reason

 

[intedomine]

SHOULD read:

. . . and without The Smiths, you don't have Brit Pop . . .

Smiths-scene, as part of Madchester, popularised and kickstarted Stone Roses, which gave a massive kick-start to Brit-Pop, namely Oasis, who kinda ended this particular chain, giving way for post-U2-rock?, aka Travis, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Keane, The Thrills?

 

[Axver]

Oh, come on people. Your big text has been wasted on the wrong bands. It's all about ...

PORCUPINE TREE.

James LaBrie gives Porcupine Tree a loud "YEAH, MUTHAFUCKA!"

Now you've got to listen.

 

[Zoots]

But seriously, Stone Roses. They're amazing. Check these out:

She Bangs The Drums is one of the best songs ever, IMO. Just pure Brit-pop bliss.

Thanks for posting those links! I really enjoyed those tunes. Been wanting to get The Very Best of The Stone Roses for quite some time now. It's on my Amazon wish list. From the reviews, this collection seems to be the preferred choice even more than the actual albums!

But man, you forgot Ten Storey Love Song! That's the only song of theirs I've ever known (and loved).

Well, I was just talking about the debut. Love Spreads is also a great song.

GAVIN FRIDAY:
