scott_saints Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 (edited) What is your top 10?? (No right or wrong answers....just the music you like most!) Mine is as follows: Stone Roses The Beatles The Jam Oasis The Smiths The Clash The Who Joy Division Rolling Stones Queen I tried to put them in some sort of order but it would probably change every time! I also feel bad about leaving out so many "big names" and probably could have done a top 50!! Edited 18 February, 2009 by scott_saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCholulaKid Posted 19 February, 2009 Share Posted 19 February, 2009 OK' date=' Pavement then.[/quote'] Try again. Can't be bothered to list my 10 but Carter USM was a good call - would've been top of my list nearly 20 years ago (Christ!!) Spend most of my time listening to American bands these days - much more varied and interesting music than the ****e we get served up here by the idiots in the British music press.

St Landrew Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 It's too hard. I can't do it without the fear of offending myself. Now if it was a top 50, no problem.Good thread though. Not sure I could do a top 50 either. 5 minutes after I'd settled on a top 50, another band would pop into my head and I'd be sent into a quandary again. It's all mood dependent anyway.

jeff leopard Posted 21 February, 2009 Share Posted 21 February, 2009 The Kinks Very good call, few bands are so gloriously British. Their influence on our punk/new wave/indie/break-core has been immense. Spend most of my time listening to American bands these days - much more varied and interesting music than the ****e we get served up here by the idiots in the British music press. Sad but true, the current scene is pretty dire. All the interesting stuff formally known as indie is coming out of the US. I just can't see a British band this year offering anything nearly as inventive and beautifully weird as the latest Animal Collective album. And whilst I admit the brits has never been a celebration of forward thinking, 09 is undoubtedly the year BEIGE ROCK BLOWS UP IN ALL OF OUT SH1T. weller, duffy, elbow. its not just the economy that's phucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are a class act, and some fans seem to be falling out of love with them because of their (well deserved) recent recognition. Listen to 'The Bones Of You' and 'Asleep In The Back' and tell me that Elbow can be grouped with the likes of Duffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Trubble Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 No one mentioned Depeche Mode :confused: New single & album out in April & at the O2 in may New single was premiered at some award ceremony in Berlin on Saturday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-f0Edu8J_E Absolute quality :cool: Totally agree Warsash, great band and totally underrated. There will be bands stating Depeche Mode as their influence for years to come, especially in the next few years. The new single is great, back to the more barbed sound that I like with Depeche Mode. I doubt they'll ever beat 'Music for the Masses' but if 'Wrong' is an indiator for SOTU then i'm going to be very impressed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bsXOcK9_Cw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
