After long having known and enjoyed a lot of New Order's material, I recently decided to get into Joy Division's work after reading somewhere about Ian Curtis' suicide. Got Unknown Pleasures first. Didn't take too long for me to start enjoying it. Early standouts were Disorder, Day of the...

Okay, this is a bit of a silly exercise but it can be fun! Build your best possible collection of artists/bands but you are restricted to only one artist/band per alphabet. :p Here's my attempt: A - Tori Amos B - The Beatles C - Creedence Clearwater Revival D - Depeche Mode E - Everything But...

..or are you drowning under the weight of your ever expanding wish lists in which classic albums compete with new ones for your hard-earned/pocket money? There is so much goddamn music out there, it's staggering! I'm curious to know... how many of you feel like you have reasonably covered most...

Hey guys! I made a 100 min playlist for old times sake... from songs that sound more like quasars beaming from U2's own Space Moon™ somewhere. Comment if you like. *** Planet U2 *** Part I 1. Zooropa 2. Your Blue Room 3. Neon Lights 4. If You Wear That Velvet Dress 5. Lemon 6. United...

Nirvana's 'In Utero' has turned 20 years old. A friend had posted this on facebook. This is great! The following link has rehearsals of 'Very Ape' and 'Radio Friendly Unit Shifter' before their 1993 tour in Seattle. Must-see morning clip: Watch never-before-seen footage of Nirvana - Salon.com...

Somebody was saying in the Killers thread how they have already forgotten that there was a new album out last year and it got me thinking... We get so excited with new releases and almost immediately download them or stream them and then go out and buy them, in many cases. Our collections are...

I see that no one made a new thread. So I decided to do the honours. Was listening to Collapse Into Now again yesterday. They went out on such a high note! The album was even better than Accelerate, their supposed return to form. I will miss them.

Was just watching the Rose Bowl dvd and I realized that I really cannot stand that talk-singing habit of his! The show starts with Boots, which in itself is a pretty awful song just like its older cousin Vertigo but Bono manages to ruin it even further by practically rapping thru the whole...

Music Banter - The Internet's Top Music Community It seems to be one of the top online music communities. Just curious.

After reading endless posts back and forth about the Hive or whatever, between the 2 warring factions... :crack: I've come to the following conclusion: We, as a U2 fan community are a bunch of very very different people! Sometimes the difference in opinion is so vast that it is impossible for...

Couldn't find any older thread dedicated to this band, so thought I'd start one. I've recently been in a post punk/new wave kind of mood and I realized that I've never checked out this band. From what I read online, their 'OMD Singles' collection seemed to be a good place to start. So I...

As far as I know, Bono writes most of their songs. Can you guys name any songs written excusively by The Edge, Adam or Larry? The Beatles had a healthy balance between Lennon and McCartney and even Harrison wrote and sang a fair amount of songs. Depeche Mode has certain songs written and sung...

During Wild Honey, what's Bono singing there right after these lines: I know your garden is full But is there sweetness at all? ..........? Lyrics online normally just go "oh oh oh" but it sure as hell doesn't sound like that on the record! lol.

I'm in an extremely U2-ey mood these days, so what better way to celebrate it than by discussing some songs that are very very close to perfection, if not absolutely flawless! :wink: I generally prefer studio versions for this exercise but you can do it any way you want, studio or live. But...

I don't mean to flood this forum with new threads or anything but I just had to get this out. Was listening to Pop after a long time and I realized that some of it hasn't held up all that well. 1. If God Will Send His Angels is such a let down after the enjoyable opening trio! It's not that...

I just wanted to share some of my personal thoughts on the last album. 1. From the get-go, it is evident that this album is much deeper than the last one. The opening trio of No Line, Magnificent and Moment of Surrender is so fantastic that it brings happy tears to my eyes when I listen to it...

round about the time our boys were putting together a record called Achtung Baby! written during a time of re-unification and modern Berlin... an exciting time not long after being sick of looking down the barrel of rambling blues tributes about the American heartland... :wink: Hi guys...
