  1. The Cure - Close to Me Garbage - Cherry Lips Elastica - Connection
  2. Suede - Stay Together (full length version builds up to an epic sax climax) The Hold Steady - Atlantic City (what Nebraska would've been like had the E Street Band been involved)
  3. 1. Brett Anderson 2. Robert Smith 3. Jack White 4. Bruce Springsteen 5. Thom Yorke 6. Freddie Mercury 7. Michael Stipe 8. Roger Daltrey 9. David Gilmour 10. Annie Lennox
  4. I think I should give reasons as to why I nominated who I did: Brett Anderson: as lead singer and major songwriter of Suede, he helped to bring about the resurgance in guitar music in the UK, and were seen as the frontrunners in the emergence of Britpop in the 90s. His performance of Animal Nitrate during the 1993 Brit Awards has to go down as one of the most iconic and groundbreaking moments of the early 90s. What makes Brett stand out from the crowd however is the departure of Bernard Butler from the band in 1994. As one of the premier guitarists of his generation, the loss of such a member could've spelt disaster for the band, yet after this the band, under Brett Anderson's guidance and continued on for another 10 years, releasing what I believe to be their best album, Coming Up, in 1996. Robert Smith: with his iconic 'spider' hairstyle and his alternate vocal style, Robert Smith helped the Cure to stand out from the crowd. Under Smiths' leadership, The Cure could go from apocolyptic doom-mongering (the oft quoted lyric is 'It doesn't matter if we all die,' the first lyric heard on their 1982 'Pornography album is a testament to this), from sugary pop singles (the triple threat of Let's Go To Bed, The Walk & The Lovecats) within the space of just a year. The Cure has treaded between the two ever since, with their last album, 4:13 Dream, fitting largely into the 'happy' Cure sound (although Smith had promised that his next 'dark' album would be released this year, it has yet to materialise). Thanks to Smith, doom and gloom has never been so euphoric.
  5. Possible suggestions: M83 James Yuill The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Maps Bon Iver Empire of the Sun. Some of these are a bit electro, but they would all be generally classed as indie (exept perhaps Empire of the Sun, although they do have a decent indie following)
  6. I really like it, although I have the feeling that the band ripped off 'Lights and Music' from 'On the Beach.' Hearts on Fire is probably my favourite song from the album.
  7. Thanks for all the kind words people. I read the main site but I don't really venture onto the boards that often. If that's the kind of response I get every time I make a post, then I think be sticking around for a while.
  8. I would like to nominate Suede - Dog Man Star. 1. Introducing The Band 2. We Are The Pigs 3. Heroine 4. Wild Ones 5. Daddy's Speeding 6. Power 7. New Generation 8. This Hollywood Life 9. Two Of Us 10. Black Or Blue 11. Asphalt World 12. Still Life Probably one of the best bands of the mid 90s Britpop era, this is probably the highlight of their career.
  9. I nominate The White Stripes: White Blood Cells 1. Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground 2. Hotel Yorba 3. I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman 4. Fell In Love With A Girl 5. Expecting 6. Little Room 7. The Union Forever 8. The Same Boy You've Always Known 9. We're Going To Be Friends 10. Offend In Every Way 11. I Think I Smell A Rat 12. Aluminum 13. I Can't Wait 14. Now Mary 15. I Can Learn 16. This Protector Almost every song on this album is a classic, from the high energy 'Fell in love with a girl' to the quirky 'Hotel Yorba.'
  10. Great local band here in N.Ireland. Their music and singer seem to me like a mix between Radiohead and Motorhead, but all very good stuff. You should be able to download one of their songs, Stoned Lizard, here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songinfo.cfm?bandid=322384&songID=2253712&from=downloadsong.cfm&referer=http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=fp-tab-web-t-1&ei=ISO-8859-1&p=dirty+dellaways&meta=vc%3D
