I listened to Apple Venus several times yesterday. It's blinkin' marvellous.

Yes... One of their several good albums. "Good" meaning *much better than most other bands' best albums*

RF

XTC were good.

For starters: The Jam, Police, Roxy Music, REM, Bob Marley, Blondie

Roxy Music, looney? Well I suppose someone has too.

Where to start...Queen, The Who, Floyd, Led Zep, LA Guns, Faster Pussycat, Motley, Sabbath, Krocus, Blind Lemon, Hayseed Dixie, AC/DC(natch), Megadeth, Sepultura, Inme, etc, etc, etc Rock, Rock and yet more rock baby!

>> XTC were good. <<

Do you know something I don't?

OK, it's been a few years since they put plectrum to guitar string, but I don't think they've officially quit.

Or do you mean they *were* good, but the more recent stuff isn't all that?

RF

As in, I haven't heard more recent stuff RF!

Magwitch, my taste in music is and unexplainable.

i think almost everyones list would have queen on it !!!!!!has your fav groups list got queen on it ??????

The NME never liked Queen but that says more about their pretentions and hang ups then the band themselves i.e the fact that Queen refused to be angsty, dowdy, post-modern and obviously weren't either working class or faux working class.

Don't get me wrong I love some the NME's favourite bands especially Nirvana and "His n'Hers"/"Different Class" era Pulp and think that bands like The Smiths and Radiohead had some glorious moments but it does seem to me that who the NME campaigned was less to do with musical talent (they campaigned East 17 and lot of Smiths sound-alike rubbish in the early 90's) and more to do with fitting in with their ideals of what bands should be about.

My favourite bands are - Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, The Dandy Warhols and Nine Inch Nails although I do love 70's Queen and a lot of different music which even extends to on the poppier end of the spectrum to Brittany Spear's "Toxic" and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love", Abba and Duran Duran.

The inter music paper "wars" of the past used to amuse me. I used to sell a few photos of bands to MME, Sounds, Record Mirror and Melody maker. They used to have these I-hate-the-other-music-paper things going on, but the 2 music papers who were at it the most were on the 2 floors above/below each other in the same office block and owned by the same international publishing company!.
Most of these music papers have closed, but their "wars" still amuse me.

kudos to 2legs for the Zappa mention.

I listen to a LOT of music... but here are some of my highlights:

Sixteen Horsepower
Danielson (Famile)
The Fiery Furnaces
Emmylou Harris
Sonic Youth
The Residents
Sufjan Stevens
Michael Knott
Sixpence None The Richer/Leigh Nash
mewithoutYou
The Violet Burning

The one and only HAWKWIND
