Sorry, can you move that to the 'What are you watching' thread, please?

 

I'll try, OK..?

 

Now a blast from the past. The Groundhogs - Split

 

Here's a taster for people who know a Groundhog from Bill Murray:

Actually, the [2001, A Space Odyssey] video is quite nicely chosen.

 

You'll notice it said Part 1, Here's Part 2. Again, note the video:

Sounds great to me..! :)

 

 

P.S. Sorry about the **** up Deppo. I edited when I meant to quote.

I'm listening off my album, but I could always direct you lot to side 2 via Youtube. It seems to be all on there.

 

Cherry Red - Quiet, so turn it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POGsy9Ru9sE

A Year in the Life -

Junkman -

Ground Hog - Can't find this last track from the Split album, but just keep getting a lot of vids from Bill Murray's film, which is understandable. If you're keen you'll find it, no doubt.

 

OK, found the last track by accident:

Can anyone advise on what albums are the best to get to listen to 'Rage against the Machine' for a newbie. Do they have a greatest hits?

 

They've got three LPs and one Covers album, so I would say just start with the debut album 'Rage Against The Machine', with 'Bombtrack' and 'Killing in the Name' tracks that you may have heard from it.

And don't forget to get them to Christmas No. 1!

Thanks Neil. That's were my interest came from. I saw the campaign and heard the single and just had to find out more. Can't believe I had never heard of them before the current campaign. :rolleyes: Thanks.

Fantastic band.

 

Saw them at Reading a couple of years back.

 

Seeing them do Bombtrack, dressed in the Guantanimo Bay get up was awesome.

 

Barny Trubble, if you like Rage, try Audioslave.

I remember when Bruno Brookes accidentally played "Killing In The Name" in all its "F*** you, I won't do what you tell me!" glory on Radio 1, when it was first released (1991?).

 

Brilliant.

 

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine is firmly in my Top 10 albums of my lifetime.

Jesu - Opiate Sun EP

 

Really good, such a 'British' release. "Losing Streak" just shouts early 90's to me, in more than just a single genre - its just a feeling. "Deflated" is also a stormer, some really nice crunch guitar work on there mixed into the drone. Broadrick's vocals are top notch throughout.

 

Might well sneak into my Top 10 of 2009.

Also, if RATM hit the number 1 spot this Christmas I will never mock the power of a Facebook group again. This is something I do frequently.

 

But... but... everyone's going out and buying this one tune, because someone has organised it as a reaction to the mass-marketed pop that would otherwise be Christmas number 1... and a song with the refrain '**** you, I won't do what you tell me'... And if anyone really, honestly was that anti-corporate they would neither know nor care what was at number 1 in the pop charts... and... and...

 

You might as well all put your hands in the air and say, 'Ooh please, Mr Record Executive, I don't feel my music product consuming needs are being effectively marketed to. This is the group I feel part of, tell me what I should like!'

Jeez, I just said it would make me believe that a Facebook group could actually achieve something. I'm not going to buy it.

Sorry Uncle Ponty, it wasn't really directed at you, just at the campaign itself which all of my Facebook friends have asked me to join. I'm not going to buy it either.
