Happy Face 29 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 My 2005 (or end of 2004) top 10 in no particular order... Sleater Kinney - The woods - All female Heavy guitar rock that's toe tappingly pop like. Sort of White Stripes Vs Metallica. Fave Track - What's Mine Is Yours System of a Down - Mezmerize - It's a travesty that they get lumped in with all the other shit Nu-metal. Produced by Rick Rubin whose level of output is never less than outstanding. Even better than Toxicity. Fave Track - Revenga Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise - Acoustic guitars, banjos, piano and horns combined joyously. The track titles alone would give it classic status, the music just backs it up. Fave Track - The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But You're Gonna Have To Leave Now, Or, 'I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight.. Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow - Moved on from just him and his guitar to a more glossy, extravagant production than normal. Still brilliant, I just preferred Rejoicing In The Hands. Fave Track - I Feel Like a Child DJ Format - If You Can't Join 'Em... Beat 'Em - Nothing original, just good party rap. Fave Track - Separated At Birth Camille - Le Fil - French Vocal pops and clicks backed by a monotone note (and some other stuff). Fave Track - Ta Douler. The Boy Least Likely to - The Best Party Ever - It's a nice album but not in the coldplay dull sense (I like coldplay so don't get me wrong, they just tow the line slightly) it's just lovely and nice and childish but never dull. Fave Track - Monsters Anthony And The Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now - Piano, Drums and one of the strangest singing voices you'll hear with the odd violin or double bass thrown in. I've spoiled it for myself by listening to it too much, but I couldn't stop. It's heartbreaking, depressing, moving, uplifting, stirring, inspiring and weird. Fave Track - For Today I Am A Boy Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs - His voice reminds me of someone but I can't for the life of me remember who, in fact I thought he'd stolen most of his tracks (Oasis style) but I can't place where I previously heard them. Instantly familiar but never boring. Fave Track - A Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The Left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 My two pence: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl anima - anima Supergrass - Road to rouen (the latest is different to the norm but all their stuff is good). Sigur Ros - Talk (again their latest but all is worth listening to). Elbow - any of their releases. Doves - any. If you want moody: toshack highway Godspeed you! Black Emperor Tortise mum explosions in the sky catpower If you want something different: sigmatropic - George Seferis' haiku poetry set to music, a lot cooler than it sounds! nouvelle vague - 80's indie covers reworked as bossa nova versions (includes love will tear us apart, just can't get enough, etc). love outside andromeda - australian band with the nastiest lyrics, sung by a woman with the sweetest voice. Yatsura - scottish band sort of jesus and mary chain meets pavement. dios malos - a low key californian band doing amazing songs. Lastly with your Josh obsession have you heard kyuss his band before queens? Sort of hair metal meets detuned stoner rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Late review team are in. Franz Fedinand have taken the pop rock template and made some great songs by following it, like most chart rock these days! They're not shit, just not particularly cutting edge. The people who loved their first album a month before it came out are the ones who now call them shit. It's the same musical snobbery that Coldplay also suffer from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 521 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I wouldn't call Franz Ferdinand shit. They're never proclaimed to be out to push musical boundries. They just do catchy pop-rock. Agree on the Gang of Four thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
