Fave Band

Von

Probably The Replacements. No hits, no videos with models or helicoptors or the like, no airplay and frequently no trousers but they made great records.

Brief bio here. http://www.ar.com.au/~hac/replacements/about.htm

A selection of the bands' antics here. http://themats.com/stories.html

microdisney

Fav band still releasing stuff though is Hefner http://www.hefnet.com
and here is a still from thier new video


harVey

2040

BeAsTie BoYs

acetate

has to be orbital...pioneers in thier own right,still going strong..constantly great music for 10 years,the BEST live act(i've seen)
Radiohead were,but they have been stagnant for so long now,the realease of the new one shall be something special i'd imagine

DeVore

Orbital. What Acetate said and a bag of chips.

One of the greatest live acts in the business. Kicking choons and a sense of humour (you gotta love that Belinda Carlisle remix with Bon Jovi).

DeV.

Frances Farmer

Oasis anyone??

---

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.

harVee

no.

the celtic tiger

OASIS, OASIS, OASIS!

Not anymore though, still like the old stuff nut last while has been poor.

Really though, Ash (although lack of releases maybe changes that view)

Foo Fighters (FANTASTIC)

SEMISONIC (Utterly amazing album)

Travis (enjoyable....and if you turn turn turn turn turn....)

WhiteWashMan

metallica, b-boys, suicidal tendencies, 5ive

MiCr0

atm it would bave to be
either moby or Nine Inch Nails
with a little old smashing pumpkins thrown in.

MiCr0

Shiminay

Mostly listening to really heavy stuff ATM - Slipknot, System of a Down, Machine Head, Therapy? (their gig 6-7 weeks back in the Olympia R0><><0R3D!!!) etc...

Love: Manics, Pumkins, Ash (brilliant live), Reef (also brilliant live), U2, Beasties, Foos, Nirvana, Metalica, and the list goes on...

There's a hell of a lot of good music out there - it's too hard to pick a favourite, but generally something with heavy, loud guitar rings my bell

Illkillya

Kharn - you're closest to my kind of music. My favourite band at the moment is Weezer (see previous post). Excelsior, if you ever mention Dave Matthews Band again, I'll put your head through the wall. Most family loves them, especially the brother in america where they are very popular for some reason, but i think their only good songs were Twostep, and maybe The Best of whats around. there is no tune to their songs!! Counting Crows is a tough call, but you have redeemed yourself in my opinion with REM and Radiohead

Shiminay

Of course! I completely forgot about REM, Radiohead and Counting Crows!!

I still love my heavy stuff though

Listening to Ash on MP3 ATM - Yes I have the album!

ThunderingMike

Chemical brothers = 'HOT DAMN!' on the funk scale (v6.5)

Flaming Lips = 'WHOA MOMMA!' on the cool scale (v1.0)

Therapy? = 'Damn I just came' on the groove scale (this one doesnt have a version because I made it up)

Speaking of Therapy, Anyone know what happened to them? I used to listen to them alot when I was a kid and could not get tickets for the gig a few months back. I have been lookig for new albums and sh!t but to no avail I am afraid.

You missed out on a sensational gig m8. It quite simply rocked!

The latest album is called "Suicide Pact - You First" (cool name, innit?) and is available from all shops. Try looking in the Rock section and not the Boy Bands

Well if you define favourite as the most listened to over my entire life then it'd be U2. But basically the only thing my favourite bands have in common is a good bass line and that they're non-manfuctured bands.

Except the odd Spice girls track and 5ive's seminal classic "Get on up"

Pretence

PEARL JAM

New album Binaural is out May 14th............get it.

Concert in the point June 4th....go to it.

Ten, what can I say one of the best albums of all time.
I could go on but who the f**k wants to read my rantings, their is enought to read as it is.............Yield, though whant an album........

El_Presidente

Illkillya , Dave Mathews Band are quite posibly the best, most original sounding group I have heard in a very long time.

As for my fav band it would be a toss up between The Counting Crows and DMB.

MiCr0

pretence

Pretence

Aye MiCrO
"Nothing as it seems" is that the one your on about.

Should be a good weekend

Smurfy

Before anyone (stapo) gets in before me, my favourite band in the whole wide world ever are 'Picture House'...believe it or believe it not. Coming in a close second is thats right..Wacko Jacko. Between them they have the best tunes on the planet.

thank u for listening, i bid u all adieu untill the next time we meet.

Shiminay

Picture House are a great band, met them a couple of times when they played in Castlebar. Sound bunch of lads they are too.

Bik

The Prisoners

The Small Faces

The Creation

Now thats what I call F**cking excellent!!

Hecate

Most people have a 'fav band of the moment' rather than of all time.

I'd have to say Gomez and REM at the moment.

Kegser

Why have the Spice Girls been overlooked? Oh well.

My favourite bands at the moments would have to be; Sevendust, Slipknot, and Pennywise.

I also like almost any other rock/punk/metal band you can mention

Kegs.

plastic membrane

OKKKK ,ahem.
REM - Automatic is the greatest album of all time..
Radiohead - The Bends is the second.
Counting Crows- MR JONES and meeeeee..
Supergrass- humping away on the stereo
U2- innnn theee nammmee off loveeee
Jeff Buckley- The greatest voice ive ever heard RIP
Aimee Mann- can anybody tell me where to get her albums, cant find them anywhere
eels- Thats Goddamn right

And an infinite amount more. Of course lets not forget the greatest band ever to come out of Castlebar: The Death Metal Ceili Band!!

Shiminay

Indeed, the Death Metal Cheilí Band will be releasing their first album "Daniel O Donnel - Miss-Understood Minion of Death Metal" soon on the Our Little Record Company label...

aimee mann can be gotten at any good dublin store.
however, her new album, bachelor no.2 is only curently available on aimeemann.com
the soundtrack to magnolia is her's too.
she is the best though isn't she?
just superb music. if you like her, buy the new fiona apple cd, which is produced by john brion and rocking suitably too.
