I love most of these songs and artists, but they should really change it up from the hits to the less known songs.
 
I think using the Move is a bad comparison. The Move were always a group in transition, in as much as frontmen Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne always had their eyes on greater heights, sure the Move put out some good material but most of their stuff was quite hit and miss and neither one nor the other style wise.

A group like the Kinks would`ve been a better comparison, in that they are also the quintessential British group of that period.

The reason they`re over-hyped, is that their influence is still dominant and proof that their brilliance has never really been equalled.
 
Pulp are too cheesy. I think that's my problem with them.

"I took her to a supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere. So it started..... there." :laughing:

I don't actually dislike Common People as a song, it's good fun. The first few times you hear it..
 
I would actually say the first album has more of a trip-hop influence to it than Plastic Beach does. A song like "Gravity" would be an example.


Well, it was a grower for me. I liked it when it came out but wasn't head-over-heels about it, but slowly over time it's come to be one of my favorite albums of that decade. One of the great moody albums IMO.
 
I should also add that I live in a city that, despite having 1.5 million people in it, has no modern rock station.

I've never even heard of Kasabian and Mumford & Son.
 
I always felt Blur made the more innovative creative music, but Oasis made better music. Just because they were 4 laRAB from Manchester, knowing they aren't Jimi Hendrix but picking up guitars and doing something. Blur were shandy boys from down Landan. Now, I don't listen to either band much. But I do listen to Blur a hell of a lot more, especially 13. I always felt 13 was Blur's strongest album. It was an innovative, creative and generally interesting album. What's your favourite Blur album?

Song 2 was great woman!
 
Red Wine by Bob Marley
Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller
Hello, I Love You by The Doors
Ants Marching by Dave Matthews
Anything by Coldplay
 
Srysly? There's about 5 albums worth that sounded better than that one. Which album is that song on? I have his first 4 and then I'm Your Man and Death of a Ladies' Man.

Which reminRAB me, I really need to fill in his discography even though he has a couple of crap recorRAB in there.
 
Hi, welcome to the 21st century. Join us here won't you?

I can't take people who dismiss 'modern music'. Modern music is fine.

Plus if it's modern music that's overplayed, then what are The Beatles? (one of my favourite banRAB, but still.)
 
Sex On Fire is overplayed, even though I complained about people moaning about things being on the radio etc.

But this is one song that just followed me, if I was in a shop it was on. If I got a hair cut it was on. If I was sat in McDonalRAB it was on.

I don't mind it when favourite banRAB go mainstream, long as the mainstream come to them. But KOL made a bunch of shit annoying songs that would sell. And they followed me :(
