My Picks

i know most of you are metal heads

well...im not...im far to mellow and old to be listening to teen angst music anymore

here is my picks for the bands to look out for this year

Bloc party
kaiser chiefs
the futureheads
babyshambles

as for other stuff i am currently listening to

well...counting crows ad ryan adams are always going to be top of that list (waits for flaming insults of "wuss" etc)

also listening alot to

the libertines
the pattern
my vitriol
biffy clyro
whiskeytown
joni mitchell
josh ritter
goo goo dolls

i know i have lost all respect i had gained in my whole first day on the board...but fff..so what...i might as well get the flaming out of the way early

😂

Oh my God the Libertines are one of my all time favourite bands.
And im getting bloc party's new album, silent alarm. Kaiser chiefs are amazing, i really like oh my god and i predict a riot, the futrueheads are great, they also eaved just round the corner from college in Sunderland, and Babyshambles, well, anything with essence of th libertines is great with me. Im also looking forward to hear some of carls solo stuff.

well well well...a rare thing in cyber space...to meet someone that like proper music 😱

Well thank you. I was getting a little sick of all the heavy metal talk too, as you can see i got a little over exctied when i saw this thread.

and i might as well add

silent alarm is pure gold from start to finish
kaiser chiefs :employment? isnt out yet but ive got it...good ol bit torrent...the album as a whole is a lot mellower than i predict a riot and oh my god would suggest...quite poppy in fact...top stuff though

also listening to

the bravery: honest mistake
the stands: all years leaving
delays:faded seaside glamour

Delays are good, im not very partcial to the bravery although they did do a good live set during the NME awards.

yeah...i agree...it gets a little to hard to handle sometimes...most of the forums im on are over colonised by metal fans...

not taking anything away from the genre of music because it takes great talent...particularly the drums

but it just aint me anymore...i dont have the anger in me to be fed by that style of music

and on a separate note

do you not just FECKIN hate the way the media wont get of pete docherty's back...let the guy get on with being the flawed genius that he is...the british music scene desperately needs people like him...im sure the media see him as a blemish on the sterile and meticulously clean landscape that is celebrityville...

utterly pathetic given that it is the media and journalism areas that have the biggest junkies and coke heads of all

I know. I mean im chuffed that he wants to clean up now, but the sun took all the credit for it, and that they were the ones that convinsed him to do it... ****ing stupid. Poor Peter.

What an incredibly arrogant thing to say.

Not all metal is about teen angst. most of it isnt

Please don't patronise me. I don't know why so many people insist on trying to cover up their stupid comments by saying 'oh it's just a joke'.

cool...and by that emoticon then i guess the drinks are on you...make mines a JD n C...cheers 👆

look...if you dont like other peoples opinions of the music you like then tough ****ing shit...thats the way the world works...feel free to go and take a swipe at whatever music you like but dont resort to petty personal insults...

I'm sorry, but I have a right to defend my opinions, and challenge others. That's basically what a 'discussion' is.

And I have said nothing personal to you, but if you feel like taking whatever it is I said that you found insulting personal, go right ahead with your swearing and ranting.

nothing personal...i would think that refering to my post as a "stupid comment" would be regarded a personal insult

regardless...

feel free to give your opinion...and yes you are correct...thats what these discussions are for...but i would prefer if you aimed your opinion at the bands that are being discussed

i personally keep out of the metal threads because i dont have much like for the genre of music...then again...i dont keep up with the evolving genre anymore (i used to be a sepultura fan and other such music) but because i no longer have a connection with the music so i dont go into threads and post about it or the people that do listen to it

as for my swearing and ranting...hey...im scottish...its practically the law here 😂

Libertines r great and im loving babyshambles..so yeah whoo hoo and all tht

It was really more of a general comment, but I understand.

I'm sure you would, but I'm afraid if you post your opinions in this forum your going to get challenged a lot, even over things you just say in passing like what you said above.

That's cool, you like whatever you want to like, obviously. But contrary to what you seem to have assumed about me, I'm not just into metal, I have a very wide musical taste, as have many members of this site. Matter of fact, I've like My Vitriol for some time now, and judging from the indie/alternative style list you posted, it's highly likely that there are more bands we both like.

Glad we cleared this up anyway, I hate off-topic arguments pinch

Oh and by the way, never be afraid to say what you want to say, this isn't the kind of forum that has one collective view and flames anyone who has differing opinions. Besides, you clearly have good taste.
