What are you listening (now) ?

[guillaume]

I wanted to answer the whole thread in one post, but no one would have read the whole thing and my lunch break is long past over!
There must be around one hour worth of music already, hope you like some of it!


All right, here we go, starting with grumpy:
- This, as already stated by some users, is useless:

Robot Rock - Daft Punk

Of course, Daft Punk are useless too, but unless a link to the song (or a live performance of it) is given so that I can be 100% sure that it's bad, or at least a comment of some sort, then there's really no point.
Now that I've been gratuitously offensive to a good part of this community, please feel free to criticize my tastes in music! (oh, and their movie is even worse than their albums ).
I usually don't know the lyrics of the music I listen to, please forgive me if they're offensive/so bad it hurts...

-Dr. Angryman: UNKLE
Oh, how I loved the Psyence Fiction album! I guess Lonely Soul is a classic to many people here. The song is used at the end of the crap movie 'The Beach', and in an Assassin's Creed trailer.
And the music video for the beautiful song Rabbit In Your Headlights is dead creepy...

-Silent: Jeff Beck - Loser
Great song, if we're talking about "Beck" (Hansen). This guy is a productive genius, I'm amazed at how he always renews his style. Though paradoxally people who don't like his music say it's always the same, and it's kinda true! Are you pop (Think I'm In Love) or disco (Sexxx Laws)?

-Silent: Marilyn Manson
Here is the proof that Manson is safe for kids! Gotta love The Nightmare Before Christmas, don't you think?

-Silent: Red Hot Chili Peppers
No, thanks! But I've come to like one of the many albums by John Frusciante, guitarist from the band: Curtains, sad pop/folk. I believe the lucky bastard is friends with both Johnny Depp and the most talented and egomaniac Vincent Gallo (who btw, is a musician: fan myspace).

-Silent: The Cure - Close to me
Apart from the old hits, I really liked Bloodflowers when it came out.

-Silent: The White Stripes - Seven nation army
The White Stripes rock. Every single album they did. From here (Jimmy The Exploder) to there (You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told))! It feels like they have the same kind of energy that the Pixies had, with short and intense songs.

-Lance, Rob, Lion: Johnny Cash
His version of Personal Jesus sounds great, doesn't it? The complete album by Depeche Mode as well, of course!

-Dr. Angryman: Underworld - Born Slippy Nuxx
"Meh" to the orginal, but I like the cover by the German band "Get Well Soon" really much! An album worth buying, right Ben?

-Dr. Angryman: Björk
When I raced Odessa Keys for the first time in Pure, it made me think of the music video for All Is Full Of Love. If by any chance someone knows of a recording of My Favorite Things by Björk, I'm very much interested! She sings a part of it in the movie Dancer In The Dark.

-Dr. Angryman: The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist
IMO the only good song on the album it's from, but damn it is good! And the music video is excellent (and has already been posted on these boards I know )

-rejj: Final Fantasy soundtrack
There's a great Canadian band called Final Fantasy, apparently because the guy who created it was a fan of the game. Pick! (Please Please Please) Pick! (Song Song Song)

-Lion: Portishead - Mysterons
Glory Box. For a long time I thought Tricky did a cover of the song, called Hell Is Round The Corner. Then I believed Portishead were the one who covered Tricky. And then I realized they both used the same sample from "Ike's Rap II" by Isaac Hayes. Now which one do you prefer?!

-Linchpin: Sigur Rós
Go buy "Ágætis byrjun", "()" and "Takk...", they are three amazing albums! For those who don't know, they're an icelandic band with long atmospheric songs, caracterized by the fact that the singer often plays guitar with a bow. They recently released a DVD of a tour in Island, where they play in totally unexpected places. I've yet to watch/hear it, but I've been told it is great. Hard to pick a song...

All right, that's 30 pages covered, back to work...
