The Mighty Hog 526 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Ah the "I'm so cool because I can name people hardly anyone has heard of" list. Poor year, this year, when compared to last year for me. Only Guillemots and The Longcut stand out for me so far. Thom Yorkes was ok but didn't do much for me.

Happy Face 29 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ah the "I'm so cool because I can name people hardly anyone has heard of" list. 187376[/snapback] tbh I don't think many of those in my 10 are or will be "cool" any time soon. Mainly old Person music. I think Cut Chemist would be the only one 'the kids' would go for, and Peasepud has heard him, so hardly cutting edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of music is it please anyone? 189185[/snapback] His Welcome to Illinoise was offically the best CD of last year. ALBUM FACT! Pianos, Flutes, Horns, Acoustics, Banjo's, a lovely voice, perfect harmonies, catchy tunes and some of the greatest track titles to ever grace a record.

Anything like the waterboys? 189260[/snapback] Not particularly, but I fancy you might like it all the same. It's all very nice in a non-grating kind of way, and since you're into Sigur Rós's prettier moments, there's probably some crossover there.

Guest alex Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Going to get 'Avalanche' and also some of his earlier stuff. 'Illinoise' is quality. As recommended by Sima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Everyone gets boners over Illinois but really it got far too overblown and very much petered out. But it's too much. In fairness, it has some of his best individual songs, but he started to believe his own hype. Michigan is great and far more focused. And, no, it's nothing like the Waterboys.
