Best album I bought all 2011 Afro

Yep, High Flying Birds = Best Album of 2011 for me.

Hero, Skrillex, was is Breakin a Sweat by any chance. Everyone on that tune now frickin Beeb blabbed it on that advert. Same as fricking Antidote. Stupid bleeding Beeb. Them tunes were banging last August and now everyone thinks there Cool as there listening to them, psssh nearly 6 months behind me and thousands of others who are in the know. OOSH

ripped them off like Nick does.

Yes I do lol

It was Breakin a Sweat that introduced me to them yes, but I got the entire album and its really good. Like Nero turned up to 11.
I was into Unicorn Kid, Burial & Crystal Castles long before they started getting bigger airplay though.

It tends to be some guitar based music from the 90's or 2000's and a smattering of older stuff. Oasis, Smiths, Libertines, Foo Fighters etc...

I have had to listen to a lot of Bob Dylan, Jethro Tull and Eagles stuff recently. Been having a few refresher lessons on the guitar and my teacher is big into those, so that it is what we are playing. Bob Dylan I knew I liked, but surprised that I actually quite like some of the other stuff too

Oasis, Smiths, Libertines, Foo Fighters etc...

All good Sodhat. Ive seen Oasis live twice. Foo Fighters id like to. Who mentioned Red Hot Chili Peppers? Ive seen them live, was ace. Artic Monkeys too. Bar Oasis Muse and Kasabian were my favs live, Kasabian seen 3 times now tho so Muse wins it as they were great.

But Im into my "Gangsta" rap too. DnB, dubstep, garage old and new. Loads, just Loads of stuff, I have a wide range

It was Breakin a Sweat that introduced me to them yes,

Err Hero, change the "Them" to Him lol

Foo Fighters & Chilis I've seen 3 times each live. Both of which I managed to get front row for. Oasis also seen 3 times, Muse , Killers, Kings of Leon & Kasabian once.
Got tickets for Stone Roses in a few months too.

Funny you should mention the Eagles, I'd never really listened to them before but I pinched an album of my dads and I'm getting in to it now. Bob Dylan can be hit and miss, but I like quite a few by him.

I play the guitar too, but to be honest I find myself barely picking it up at the moment. I always seem to have something else to do. Maybe buying a new one will help...

Alright smarty pants, I have heard an interview with him so I should have known that.

Stone Roses are excellent live.

Best band I have seen live were Snow Patrol, the worse were Keane

Forgot Snow Patrol, yes seen them too and they were excellent.
And I know they're not cool but Coldplay live were frankly mindblowing.

Best band I have seen live were Oasis, the worse were The Enemy but it may of been an off day as ive heard there usualy good.

Afro, have you ever seen a gangsta mc live lol

Kanye West was quality live, went years ago, think is was his second album when I went.

Queens of the Stone Age are one of my fav bands.

I don't see the issue with mainstream-ism (someone mentioned BBC using Skrillex on an advert). It's a bizarre concept of music snobbery. If I like something then I WANT everyone to hear it. (although the music I tend to discover, everyone already has heard - and heard it about 5 years ago )

Coldplay live were frankly mindblowing.

Literally as they make me want to put a loaded barrel to my head and pull on the trigger

Learnt a smattering when I was younger but never had a guitar. My missus bought me a nice Tanglewood Electro Acoustic for my 30th, which got me strumming for a while but not enough.

Now she paid for these lessons 3 years later, so I have an hour every Wednesday where I play. Rest of the week I should practice, but it stays in its case most of the time.

I saw Oasis live twice, including at Wembley just before they split. Kasabian were supporting that day, and they were top class.

Muse disappointed me a bit, I was at Reading last year and they were on to close the weekend. It all felt a bit flat, but maybe my expectations were too high because everyone had built them up so much.

Best live show I saw was The Libertines in 2010.

You know what, MGMT are actually really good live.

I'm playing guitar. That's why I listen to so much Chili Peppers - because that's all I want to learn.

Love Coldplay and they are excellent live too. But I know a lot of people who can't bear them. Also Radiohead probably fall into that category too

Ive heard Muse at festivals arent as good as their own shows, mates said that after seeing them in both types.

Radiohead I haven't ever seen live which is one I would want to see.

Queens of the Stone Age I've seen Nick, was front row for that too (and Biffy Clyro & the Pixies).

I went to that tour too, Oasis supported by Kasabian supported by The Enemy supported by Reverend and the Makers at Wembley Stadium! 2 of us queued up from 11am with 24 cans of Carlsberg and a picnic in a carrier bag, therefore in the front circle and right at the front. Bloke a few rows back got covered in wee towards the end

Agree with this.

There's too much "I knew about them before they were well known" and turning noses up if a band becomes mainstream.

I really don't care how many people listen to them or how long they have been around before I discovered them, only if I like the music. In fact the more people that listen and the more mainstream they are, the more gigs they will probably do

Pixies were a huge letdown. One of my fave bands of all time for both my wife and I yet you could clearly see it was just all about the money when they were singing.

BTW you know if this was the old Beeb 606 you would have to add the word 'Football' so the topic was still relevant and the thread wasnt locked off. Remember that Viva.

Yeah, that was the one. I was in the second batch behind the front circle, but still a very good view.

We were being hit with what I hope was beer all night. To be honest it was a bit warm to be beer. I just had to keep my mouth closed and wash my clothes when I got in.

Pixies were a huge letdown. - Pixie Lott tho, damn I want her legs wrapped round me........err sorry i went a bit off the subject there.

Queens of the Stone Age I've seen - Damn you Hero. I actually purchased their albums with real money from a real shop thats how much I like them. Trust me that means a lot, only Artist's in my CD Collection where I have ALL of their albums are Oasis, Queens, Jay Z and Eminem. I will pay if its worth it.

Coldplay are good but I really went because of the hype and everyone thought it was cool to watch them.

Rappers are the worst live, they are just shouting out words and after the 4th song thier voices have gone and you can hardly hear what they're saying. Jay Z is good though he had a proper band with him.

No. Most gangsta I have seen is Eminem

Yeah I remember that the mods on there what a joke.

One I have seen live and maybe shouldn't admit to enjoying was Jools Holland.

That bloke is a really talented musician and it was actually a really, really good show.

Also have to hold my hand up to having seen Take That live and admit that, 1990s songs aside, it was quite entertaining.

If you ignore the music, the set and spectacle was the best I have ever seen.

Take That new-era are brilliant.

There's nothing wrong with pop music if it's well written.

QOTSA was a festival I saw them at tbh rather than exclusively them (though they were one of the reasons we went to the festival)
On the same gig was Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Faithless, Ian Brown, Charlatans, Placebo, Doves, Shed Seven (and Coldplay)

I sat at the show starting with my arms crossed expecting to be bored. It wasn't long until I had forgotten myself and was dancing along with all the middle aged women!!

Lady Gaga supported and she was so nuts, you couldn't take your eyes of her.

Jay Z is good though he had a proper band with him.

He has a DJ and Hype man when I seen him live. Was years back tho when he was street.

Afro, Jools Holland is good. We went to his Jazz Club in Brum over xmas for a night out, was a quality night.

Take That new-era are brilliant.

ED, you have permission to leave forever and never return lol

A friend of mine who has a very heavy taste in music shocked us all when his iPod shuffled on to Take That. It wasn't even a rogue song off a compilation, he had bought full albums!

I don't hate Take That, but I'm more comfortable saying that with the second incarnation than the first.

Apparently she has nuts.....

Rule the World is my fave of their tracks but I'm not their biggest fan.

I have though been to a Robbie concert at the MEN.

I'm serious - that's one of the things I've discovered since I started learning guitar. You'll learn a hell of a lot more about music and songwriting from learning a pop song than a Muse riff.

It's just snobbery. 99% of pop music is dire, but if you overlook it you'll find there are some genuinely brilliant, well written, well recorded songs.

Lady Gaga - you look beyond all the crazy crap, and the publicity stunts (which she has to do to get her music out there), a lot of her songs are so well written. They are superb.

ac/dc is the best

end of

Fave 'pop' guilty pleasures then?

I've been known to play Back for Good on occasion...

I'm much more likely to learn something simple and catchy than riffs or complex solo's. I'm not much of a lead guitarist, I tend to keep it simple.

Lady Gaga
Girls Aloud
Take That
Will Young

I also seem to like pop acts who's names are of uniform length when you type them into a forum

I remember mocking my now ex-girlfriend about buying a Katy Perry album, which was a bit out of character for her. She played the whole thing on a long trip in the car and I expected it to be horrible. It actually wasn't. I won't say I sat there singing along, but I didn't make her turn it off either.

I'll get my coat.

Last Friday Night by Katy Perry = Awesome track

Sorry to lower the tone. It was just right there to be added.

Its got a CD player PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER

Rule the World was my wife and I's first dance, mainly because she is a superfan, but partly because I don't hate it...

I made the CD for our wedding ceremony, was so so so close to putting 20-25 seconds of Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance music (complete with glass smash) before the first song, but bottled it! Next time...

McFly
Katy Perry
Calvin Harris
Britney Spears

All of them I often find myself toetapping to without realising.

And, Katy Perry = awesome rack.

Yes indeed but I cant stand her now.

All about Pixie Lott !!
