Deffo Frank Sinatra.

 

[Supernaut]

Deffo Frank Sinatra.

To be honest, apart from sacred music in the renaissance and some jazz and classical, I have no time at all for music prior to the invention of rock n roll.

I like some tracks, but a lot of their output seems really self-indulgent

And dreary!

 

[fatshrimp]

Again, I went for many years hating their post Ok Computer work....now I prefer these albums to OC & The Bends. Quite frankly one of the best UK bands ever I regret not giving them more time over the last 19 years.

Sorry, I just can't see it. I won't / can't be convinced otherwise

 

[Yer Blues]

U2, Abba, Metallica

That's quite a u-turn - I remember how much you disliked the post-OKC output. I agree that they're up there with the best UK bands of all time, if you exclude the first 2 albums of course!

 

[GNH]

In no particular order as they are all equally ****

Rolling Stones
REM
Ed Sheeran
Adele
U2

 

[ThurrockShrimper]

U2, Abba, Metallica

YES! Especially U2! Megadeth wipe the floor with Metallica also.

Tell me about it. There was a lot of personal stuff happening around the time of Kid A so that many have clouded my judgement.

I remember in the late '80s/early '90s when I first started working in record shops and me and my colleagues had hugely disparate taste in music, REM were the 1 band who every member of staff liked. I still love them, although I don't like much of what they did post-1991.

I wouldn't give a squirt of **** for any of those 4 apart from Iron Maiden, who are in my top 3 bands of all time.

REM were great up to Automatic......Monster was ok, but from then on they were fairly awful with a couple of good tracks.

I like New Adventures and Up, but yeah, mostly drivel after Automatic.
