I like Sgt. Peppers. I like most Beatles stuff really though.

Kids In Glass Houses - Smart Casual.

Good choice Bang!

My brother just lent me all of the LCD Soundsystem albums, let's see what all the fuss is about.

the soulwax remix of "Daft Punk are playing at my house" is rather cheeky and nice


have I ever told you I have met someone who is on the Sgt Peppers sleeve?

I prefer the White Album to Abbey Road and Let It Be to be honest. My favourites are Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Peppers. That said, I hardly ever listen to any of their stuff anymore. I occasionally walk past the Beatles museum in Liverpool and the sound of Octopuses Garden or whatever blaring out of the tinny speakers makes me want to run a mile.

I prefer the Grey Album

Rolling stones Hot Rocks 1&2 by plenty dude!

I remeber McClazza recommending some Stones to me maybe a year ago? ish. It was good gear too I hadn't heard alot of it either.

Some quality from Mick and his buddies i actually got Hot Rocks 1&2 whilst in Montevideo for about £3 quid!

Giving We are Scientists-Barbara it's first listen.

Have to say, sounding pretty good, much more like the first album.

It could be a grower, but nothing more than a couple of tracks worthy of a listed for me ATM.

Space bound is one of my early favourites.

t'was probably Goats Head Soup, the album I listened to the most when in America in Feb '74, I bought it in a huge Woolworths in Las Vegas along with Jeff Becks "Truth" album - no means of playing music to yourself in those days of course, MP3's were a thing of science fiction even Walkmen were ten years hence so I had to wait until I got home to play them properly but that Stones album was all over every radio station in Nevada and California that month.

Yeah it was that. Good recommendationings young Field.

P.s - I'm listening to Muse.

Bandwaggoner.

Ace of Base - The Sign.

Very much liking Stornoway's Beachcombers windowsill album at the moment.

Honest question.

How do you all get to hear about all these nobody groups?

What's up with Girls Aloud, Take That, Beyonce, etc?

It depends how much you like music, It's like a rugby fan knowing about the young lads in the academy, your casual rugby fan would just know the names of the top players.


Nowt wrong with girls aloud or beyonce, you can keep TT.

Personally ithe way I've done it over the years has changed dramatically with the internet making a bigger impact now. Back when I was 14 it was a case of word of mouth between mates. You know you'd have mates who had older brothers and sisters and they would pass on some tips. I had an older sister that loved early house music and the like so i got into the hacienda dance sceen that then moved me into the direction of the likes of joy division, new order, happy mondays and the stone roses. We then would go to umbo Records when we got older and they would recommend stuff to us to try out. Add to that going to see unsigned bands around leeds from the age of 15 (I was lucky to have a parent who was more than happy to take me and a few mates to gigs).

Nowadays its all down to the internet. I go on a lot of forums (some of which are predominately file sharing and what would be deemed illegal download sites). people post stuff and give a brief description. Its free music so i'll download it and try it out. if I like it i'll tend to buy the albums then so as to alleviate the guilt of illegal downloading. I have found tons of bands doing this now and its a good time waste at work i suppose. I also do pick up tips of new bands from the press. i steer clear of the likes of the NME as they usually talk complete boll*cks but i've had a lot of good tip offs from the Metro newspaper.


As for the likes of the artists you mentioned, I dont like them because i just dont like their style of music. i do like Girls Aloud however as they produce quality pop music, not so much them but the team behind them (I have followed Xenomania for a long time). As for Beyonce I find her bland and repetitive and Take That I see the plus side of their music and will say they are very good and talented but i just dont like their style.

What forums do you use?

Soon to be known as Robbies writer and backing singers
