Crap bands and their crap songs

[thetime]

I think they're supposed to be working on a fourth album, that's apparently what they said at Glastonbury while my mate was seeing them and I was being bored silly by Arctic Monkeys. So they should spring up somewhere, but not R+L probably. Bestival, Latitude or FN6 probably.

As it took them 11 years to release the third album, i'm not going to be to excited about a 4th album yet.

One of my all time faves.

Portishead would be completely wasted on an R+L crowd

[kaosmark2]

I'd love to see Portishead again. So good.

Their s/t album is a bit dull, but Dummy and Third are just magical.

My politics tutor said today that there was a Cure album which the media said was causing people to commit suicide in the 80's (obviously bullshit, that was the point), does anyone remember which one it was?

Could be Pornography because of its dark and gloomy tone, one of the albums that kicked off 'goth'.

Could be The Top, because it was shit.

all of them

Seventeen Seconds was the start of their gothic trio though?

And The Top really is shit. So much weaker than the 3 albums either side of it.

Bjork as the up and comer?

Up and comer? More like down and out.

Oof!

[Babyquack]

I'm pretty sure something would be on the up if she went down...

And nah, she doesn't get the attention like she used to now simply because her audience is older and her music just isn't what the vast majority of young people listen to. I'm 18 and think she's great but I know of none of my friends who could even name me a single song of hers. Not one.

Where to begin though?! What do you think? Possibly give them the live box as that has some of my favourite Bjork. Or give them a recorded album - my choice would be to maybe start on Homogenic. If someone had never listened to Bjork (which they haven't), what's a starter album? I've been listening to Bjork since I was born almost as my dad would constantly have an album of hers on repeat so I don't really know where to begin!

I started at the beginning with Debut but some of the live stuff would also be good. Homogenic wouldn't be a bad choice.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Homogenic is where to start. If they're at all into experimental music, give them Pluto.

It was a hell of a lot easier to get to the front last time once all the Paramore fans had moved out of the way

First two albums were good, went a bit awry after that.

[mrtourette]

Yeah that's the one.

Yeah that's the one.

Popularity wise yes, music wise no. She's still making great album after great album after making music for 36 years...The women's an all time great and I'm no fanboy.
