Elvis Costello - Sunday's Best

Early Elvis Costello is like spending a day in a deranged British amusement park.

Travis - Writing To Reach You

I still think Travis are one of the most under-rated bands ever. They have some utterly amazing music, and I'm yet to hear something of their's I don't like.

Coldplay - In My Place
- Looove this song right now. Love the whole mood of this song and it just... wins.

--> HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Mizutama Ramune.
- An old favourite of mine. Definitely my favourite HaMC one still, although Haitoku no Jonetsu is a close second.

Travis is pleasant, but ultimately not amazing. Pretty decent melodic bases (Coldplay sorta reminisces me of Travis. However, Travis doesn't have a vocalist as insufferable as Chris Martin. On the other hand, Travis lyrics are well below Coldplay for quality. Coldplay lyrics aren't great), but it's not much beyond sorta neat music for those days you feel like carryin' a raincloud over your head.

Elvis Costello - Senior Service

Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs

HOLY SHIT, it's heaven up here. Piano nerdrock with absolutely hilarious lyrics and a competent enough singer? I'm reborn in Jeebus.

EDIT:

R.E.M. - Texarkana

Godly.

Augie March - The Slant.

Uh Travis hype? Don't see it. Not amazing britpop. I will take Coldplay with stuff like Clocks and Spies any day. Edit - THE SCIENTIST. THE. SCIENTIST.

Edit 2 - Well they are of course better than Oasis, but that is no achievement.

Also Snow, yeah this is why you should have been listening to Ben Folds. That is his radio friendly stuff also (As is Underground) which are fun, but his other stuff is great also. If you can track down live tracks they aren't bad either.

Is pretty cool when Aimee Mann sings it, yeah.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Drifter

Augie March - Men Who Follow Spring the Planet 'Round.

Man, we listen to Bjork. I don't think we are in much of a position to really complain about someone having a difficult singing voice.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1336 on:** November 03, 2009, 09:31:57 PM »

I don't really find Chris Martin's voice difficult. I just find it insufferable. I know Travis' vocalist isn't a lot better, but I dislike Chris Martin's voice so much that it turns me off the band entirely, which sucks ass because the musicians are quite good and the melodic work is fine.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Shadowtime

EDIT: The Ben Folds album I brought is a live album, actually, which is kinda weird, but I ain't complaining. Nice In Between Days cover opener.

EDIT 2:

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Sunshine the Werewolf.

Mostly screaming, but I can deal with that, the music underneath it is actually pretty alright and the band is called The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Elvis Costello - No Action

Yeah, it's official, I'm a fan of Elvis Costello & the Attractions. It's probably time to check out his other phases, and I should definitely check his album with Burt Bacharach.

Elvis Costello - I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea

It's really funny to think about Elvis Costello singing these songs. Amazingly tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly acid breakup songs coming from someone as dorky-looking as him is downright brilliant (and heck, he looked -even geekier- when he was young. Eat your hands in jealousy, Rivers Cuomo). By the way, nice live performances.

EDIT:

Everything But The Girl - When All's Well

Okay, I'm just a fangirl of british pop/rock.

I don't know the movie Napoleon Dynamite, but now I know where the title came from. I have to wonder.
