Bath Saint Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Why are you listening to a best-of? Don't be such a music snob, Ludwig. Listening to a 'Best of' is a great way for manji to get into these bands he hasn't heard of before. manji, I would recommend 'Doppelganger' and 'Cuckoo' once you get a feel for Curve's more commercial stuff.

SuperMikey Posted 14 July, 2010 Share Posted 14 July, 2010 Anna Von Hausswolff – Singing From The Grave Brilliant album from the next big thing in Swedish music. I would describe her as halfway between Laura Marling and Kate Bush, very heartfelt and emotional songs but also very well written songs. Get in there quick before everyone else does!

Bentley Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty - Very good. Chima Anya - New Day - Album of the year so far for me. Bombay Bicycle Club - Flaws - Oh, how appropriate an album title. Easily the worst album I've heard this year. Fortunately given to me from free promo, I feel for those who spent money on it.

St Landrew Posted 15 July, 2010 Share Posted 15 July, 2010 One of those bands who I used to occasionally buy singles and nothing else from were The Move. Truth is, I've always had a soft spot for anything Roy Wood was involved in, because he was a pop record writing master, and because he was a rocking bugger too. He's probably most famous, to many people, for Wizzard, but his bands were so much more than that. They were laced with upbeat, progressive pop numbers, with a hint of humour, and as catchy as hell. From The Move, I love Fire Brigade, Blackberry Way, but my favourite is Brontosaurus. Have a go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they were OK. They certainly were a part of going to The Cowherds pub. It was Art For Art's Sake [10CC] and Living Thing, as I remember, that was forever on that bloody jukebox. Of course, I never selected those tracks, having an appreciation of a rather more heightened expression of musical flavours, by then. Woody has his own website.

Block 5 Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Great single. Stumbled over it again, while looking for something from the Isley Brothers Sly and the Family Stone - Family Affair If anyone has a funkier voice than Sly Stewart then I've yet to hear it. Sly and the Family Stone: excellent band. Mainly remembered for 'It's a Family Affair' on the 'There's a Riot Goin On' album and 'Everyday People' from 'Stand!'. Often overlooked is their debut album from 1967 (such a good year for music) 'A Whole New Thing'; this is my personal favourite. It's from that transitionary period when soul was starting to morph into funkier more experimental areas (mirroring the change in rock and pop) as artists began trying psychedelics! I agree with your comment about Sly's voice, incredible. I would have to say JB or Eddie Bo are just as funky, and what about George Clinton???? Is there a funkier band that Funkadelic / Parliament? [video=youtube;f05e_ZUxR-M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f05e_ZUxR-M Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
