new order
what's your
favourite replacements record out of curiosity?
Probably
Let It Be. Obvious choice really but it's popular for a reason. Some days Tim could be up there... and I also have a soft spot for Stink... I think the recent best of (Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?) is pretty ace. Basically, if it's got 'Skyway' on it it's worth owning. I love pretty much everything they've done though.
I think I now have all the Pinback albums
Go me!
...
I'm seeing them next week (on Valentine's Day no less)..pretty excited. Big live music weekend and that's the kickstart.
well done
i have them all part from the 'This Is A Pinback CD' one if you want to give me yours that'd be most kind
oh, I'm going to explain each choice (maybe and not in order)
1. Bright Eyes - I adore them (or him, whatever), I really. Lifted is such a gorgeous album. Hit The Switch is my probably my favourite sing.
2. Eve 6 - some pretty crap (well now) pop rock but I adored them when I was 15 so they deserve a mention.
3. Tilly & The Wall - perhaps Bright Eyes with lovely lady singers. But oh well, they're lovely.
4. Death Cab for Cutie - probably the best live band I've seen, they were that good.
5. The Decemberists - Colin Meloy is great. They're great live, great music, great lyrics. Just great.
6. The Shins - I'm not a hater, yeah I got into them on the back of Garden State but who cares?
7. Architecture In Helsinki - because In Case We Die is really THAT good.
8. Rilo Kiley - Jenny Lewis innit.
9. Modest Mouse - c'mon, fell the love, they're so fucking good..
10. Stars - maybe wouldnt have made it until I had seen them live but wow!
Honorary mentions go out to the Guillemots, Los Campesinos!, Eels, LCD Soundsystem, Ben Kweller and The Postal Service.
pretty predictable, but:
1/The Smiths
2/Life Without Buildings
3/The Libertines
4/Joy Division
5/Nirvana
6/The Beatles
7/Sigur Ros
8/The Delfonics
9/Gang Of Four
10/Jonquil
Jonquil!
They are good, but I struggle to understand how someone can place them in their TOP TEN BANDS OF ALL TIME EVER EVER.
I couldn't do a list. I could only pick Fugazi and then I would be lost. They've been the only constant for me over the last seven or eight years.
Off the top of my head, totally.

That was difficult, a couple of those are based partly on my love for them in the past. To pick a top 10 right now would be silly though, as it would just be whatever I'm listening to at the moment.
I've picked my favourite.
I was confused if it ment our top 10 as in favourites, or the best.
hmm

2. Shellac
3. My Bloody Valentine
4. Sleater-Kinney
