I;m getting old and I would like some band advice please!

[dropinthe]

Have only just bought the latest Coldplay Cd and its made me realise I am seriously lacking in what new bands are good to listen to at the moment.I'm not talking anything too heavy but I do do alternative-I am an Oasis fan/was a massive OCS fanatic-like Travis/Kasabian/Red Hot's-give me some other reviews on whats out at the moment that is rocking your boats...please!!

Athlete are worth a listen.

I am loving cplay-know they come in for criticism as being a tad wishy washy but I think Chris Martins vocals are v sexy and I fell in love with him on the Yello video way back,running along the beach.

theres nothing wrong with coldplay, i bought, a rush of blood to the head and even had dd's babybond video recorded to that cd!

You'd probably like the latest Idlewild CD, Promises/warnings (I think that's the title, it's in my car) - really melodic, not heavy at all.

There's loads of really great music out there now, there's no way I can keep up. I love a lot of that Americana ("alternative" country) stuff, but can't think of any bands right now... off the top of my head things you might like are

White Stripes
Magic Numbers
The Mars Volta
Queens of the Stone Age
there's something about Baby Shambles I quite like,
Foo Fighters
Eminem
Not new I know, but you'll have stuff by Radiohead won't you.
The Doves
Elbow

Blimey, can't think of anything else at the moment...

Most of my iPod's rammed with pre 80's stuff

Powderfinger.

Bloomin 'ell CP-you are WITH it girl! But Eminem-not really ta! I know Radiohead are supposed to be a top band-must get my WinMX working now I have some names-saying that-I'd need song titles?????

Spacecadet-I used to sing alot of their firts albums songs to my ds1-especially Beautiful!If I hear one of those tunes and had a few tipples I can get a tad over emmotional!!

firts-I meant first!

green day been around for years, ive been listening to them for 14 years.

dd bobs up and down to coldplay now!

Kaiser Chiefs
Zutons
Kings of Leon
Snow Patrol
Kings of Convenience
Gomez
Lamb
Libertines
The Strokes
Razorlight
The Kills
The killers
Yeah yeah yeahs
The streets

Hope these help xxx

Greenday, Smashing Pumpkins...aaah, soundtrack of my youth.

edodgy-have you got kids???

Where do I start??

LOL dropinthe yeah I have a 2 year old dd and am 27 weeks pregnant with no.2 but i also have a big kid of a dp who is extremly fond of downloading music from comp and copying albums from childless friends otherwise i would never be this up to date!

He ROCKS,yeah??

haha of course!
When i met him he had long hair which was all plaited and belguim army boots, army coat and kombats (no he wasnt in the army!) ahh those were the days pmsl

'blinking lights and other revelations' by Eels is a brilliant album. saw them live about two months ago.

The snow patrol album is good.
I also like coldplay, keane, u2, the chillis, radiohead & athlete.

Heehee - thanks dropinthe - hardly though, not these days! IMO the two albums to start you off with Radiohead are The Bends (voted best album of all time recently I think) and OK Computer.

Have you listened to that song "Wires" by Athelete - has me in tears every time - it's about his kid who was in scbu

ok computer was number 1 on the recent 100 best albums poll on channel 4. and i very much agree.

Radiohead
Radiohead
Radiohead

oh and Radiohead

I actually like Kid A and Amnesiac better than The Bends and OK Computer. LIke Hil to the Thief too but not as much as those two. We mush be due an other one soon. Come on Thom, get y'finger out!

Brain Eno
I'm always litening to Leanard Cohen too (it's uplifting!)

..God, I'm boring..

I love the wires song by athlete and only found out the other week the story behind the music - beautiful.

I really like james blunt at the moment too.
