h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

forgot Alice Cooper..it's standing too near speakers near the stage..I've never been the same since I stood next to the speakers at a buzzcocks gig..my ears were ringing for 2 days afterwards,laugh>

I will attempt to remember my favourite bands in no particular order, only in which I pluck them from the deep recesses of my mind.

1)Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band
2)Frank Zappa
3)Neil Young
4)Little Feat
5)Pink Floyd (without Roger Waters)
6)Marillion
7)Southside Johhny and the Asbury Jukes
8)Brian Eno
9)Al Stewart
10)Jackson Browne
11)Gentle Giant
12)YES
13)Trevor Rabin
14)Be Bop Deluxe
15)Stevie Ray Vaugn
16)King Crimson
17)Jethro Tull
18)Rush
19)Jean Michel Jarre
20)Allman Brothers Band

YAY someone else who likes Marillion and Jethro Tull! I was begining to think they were mutually exclusive or something.

Those are definately on my fave band list, along with Queen (but of course, shouldn't really need to be mentioned one would hope) Pink Floyd and lots of others I can't think of due to the fact that it's 8am...

Bob Marley and The Wailers, sorry but if you dont like them then you just dont like music. The best band ever.

Public Enemy. My teenage rebel band

De La Soul. My Ive grown up a bit now and Im less angst ridden

Massive Attack. the band for that special time with a new ladyfriend

Pearl Jam. taught me that all white rock bands dont have to sound ```````````like those poodle haired idiots like white snake bon jovi and
```````````europe.

Radiohead. just for making the best scream your head of exestentialist
```````````noise ever

The neptunes/N*E*R*D. For taking hip hop in new directions.

"poodle haired idiots"?!!!!!

hang your head in shame that badger! it's those poodle haired gods of sex...sorry rock that get this bird on the dance floor, shaking it for all i got. and in a lowcut top too. hair metal is sexy.

now, if you will excuse me i am going to have a sebastain bach moment.


*swoon*

Bob Marley and the Wailers are one of the greatest bands of all time. Exodus, Kaya and Survival are all must buys. My favourite song is the Music Video version of Three Little Birds, as that has a really laid back guitar solo in the middle that for some reason is not on the album.

I couldn't name them all. I'm listening to Queens of the Stone Age- Songs for the Deaf at the moment though.

Can I make a couple of suggestions?
1)Musicians Pit
2)Grunge Corner

I just bought BRMC (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's 1st album) and that's quite good.

I agree with Daraline - hair metal is great. I need role models with big hair to make me feel less of a frizzy freak (damn secondary school playground styles evil facists want me to conform never I say never trails off into disgruntled muttering )

I am sad cos I have to go back to uni next week and will suddenly find computer access much harder (so less h2g2 for me sigh) and I won't be able to get Virgin radio which is a great rock n roll no rap no crap station because the breeze block monstosity that is my halls seems to repell all radio waves except the crapest of the crap local stations (more ads than music, and dull music at that). grrrr. But apart from that uni is great and its only for 6 weeks then i will be back here again and then will have a better house AND my own computer. Wooh for me.
Toyota

Bands eh...well bearing in mind I'm an "oldie"...past 30

Dead Kennedys (saw them this month B'ham Academy...FANbloodyTASTIC), Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash, The Jam, The Cult, New Model Army, Sisters of Mercy, Mission, Violent Femmes, Generation X, Killing Joke, Spear of Destiny, Blondie, Police, Black Sabbath, Echo and the Bunnymen, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Nirvana, Massive Attack, Train

Also love reggae/ska/rnb some dance and hip hop

(whispers) have David Gray, Enya and Madonna in me collection purely for "chill out" purposes lol

TABITCA

Buzzcocks played Birmingham Academy earlier this month...unforunately I couldn't blackmail or bribe anyone to babysit me monsters lmao

oh no what a shame..your ears will probably thank you for it...
as for being an oldie at 30.. I'm nearly 50..keep on rocking. We used to say keep on trucking when I was young..but I'm b*****d if I can remember what it means
I saw Bon Jovi in Huddersfield year before last i think it was..no more big hair though..however a recent piccie of Dave Coverdale(whitesnake) in Classic rock mag shows he still has the hair. He's older than I am ...as we say in the North"I knew him when he had nowt".He hasn't changed a bit..he's still not safe to be left alone with your granny!

if only the same could be said of dave lee roth. think jump, panama etc, and then look at a current picture of him..........







xx

Hahhhahh David Lee Roth, boy he's let himself go by the wayside!!! He's massive!!! Too many pies thats his problem!!

massive, but with a deflated face! aarrggghhhhh!




if i did this much running in real life the weight would be dropping off!






xx

There's nothing wrong with Enya.
Also nice to find someone who likes Siouxsie and the Banshees And Blondie. I think Debbie Harry is frequently under appreciated. She had to work really hard to get where she is/was.

I saw alot of good modern bands at Glasto last year, but haven't been to any proper gigs.

Toyota

The Clash... are people into The Clash?

And Farse. I saw them at me favourite boozer, they were loud. I can only remember them, maybe has something to do with that. They were on first, after all.

Well, feel a bit bad posting this quote here, but thought you lot might appreciatte it -

"If music be the food of love, then R'n'B has got to be McDonalds"

Won't post any favorite bands as i hate music, blame it on Cliff Richard and Bryan Adams' Bass Player! (plus other acts of music that should be banned under the geneva convention)

Glasters!! Wahaaaay! But forget going to the mainstages, experience the rest of the festival! If you managed to get a ticket! checkout the review of last years http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A480304

I like that. A lot.

In fact....

*s of to change MSN name*

Hi Zarniroop (hey you visited my review. Eternal gratitude) I'm loving that quote about rnb. lmao. No Glasto this year and REM are headlining.

Just cos you had some bad music experiences doesn't mean you should hate music. That's like not having a relationship now cos the girl/boy you 'married' in the playground when you were 5 left you to go and play kiss chase. You shouldn't have ears if you're not going to use them (or abuse them as the case maybe)

Who likes the Clash? I like the Clash. I am locked in a perpetual argument as to whether the Clash did some ska. Think 'Revolution Rock'.

The White Stripes are doing some good stuff at the mo aren't they? The new single rocks. And that song by The Thrills, One Horse Town. A great summer song.

I don't like that one about Girls only liking Cars and Money and not Boys. It's sexist and inaacurate. I'm insulted. Boys are way nicer than cars and money (symbols of capitalist enslavement and also polluting the planet.ggrrr) and that one about wanting to do it with Madonna. I don't like that one either. Cos its crap (here comes political justification it encourages the objectification of women as sex objects not real people. grr I say, grr)

Anyway S Club 7 or whatever have split up. Hooray! Lets party!

Gosh what a long post!!!
