Hunters and collectors: Holy Grail, Throw your Arms around me (most abused song I think)
Crowded House: Four Seasons in one Day, Mean to Me
The Church: Under the milky way (if you have watched Donnie Darko, the song which is playing when he is at the party and he is seeing the ghosty things)

Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing, Romeo & Juliet, Your Latest Trick (best sax solo ever I think)

My list is really similar, actually, although not necessarily in that order.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I also listen to a lot of classical music--Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, and Shostakovich come to mind. My favorite modern composer might be Phillip Glass.

I kinda figured it was something like that, I just felt the need to respond because it disappeared pretty much in the moment I entered the thread...

Except I'm a woman who never went Greek, I live in Michigan, and I only get drunk at camping events (once or twice a year). Kinda shoots that theory down, eh?

Ale, please! or mead. Mead is good. Or some Oberon with an orange slice...

And now I have 'What's the Rumpus' stuck in my head...

Don't kill the messenger. It's not my theory, it's Cartman's.

That's an interesting mix.

And we all know what a bastion of good sense and civility Cartman is, yes? Sorry if I came off mad, I just found the stereotype amusing.

Currently, my favorite composers are Beethoven, Scott Joplin, Handel, Sousa, and Jean Sibelius. Music to study by.

Diablo Swing Orchestra,
Idiot Pilot,

My list:

Bloc Party - One of my favourite bands of all time. Have all 3 of their albums and in my opinion, Album 1 (Silent Alarm) and Album 3 (Intimacy) are their best albums. Album 2 ( A Weekend In The City) was alright but kind of steered the band away from what they did best.

Elbow - Only own Album number 4 (The Seldom Seen Kid) after being told they were a good band. They are. It is my Sunday Album in the sense that it is a slow album but has some great gems and also the album that got them mainstream success. Highly recommended. I am now going to buy their previous 3 albums which I hear are also good.

Those are the bands I'm listening to most at the moment. The others include:

Kings of Leon
Queens Of The Stone Age
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Kaiser Chiefs
Muse
The Killers
Letters From London
Faithless
Weezer

They actually do hold the Guinness Book of World Records record for the loudest band.

Too bad that doesnt make them suck any less:p

We can disagree all day about their quality. I think they're good. You don't. It doesn't change the fact that your head a splode.

I downloaded Flesh Aquarium and really liked it, is it worth the effort to track down their first album and EP?

Both are good. Obviously, the production on both is a bit more rough, and they aren't quite as brilliant as the second album. The songs on the EP are slightly better than the first album, but if its a case of buying it, well its probably not worth paying over the odds to get your hands on something with only four songs:p
