5 favourite and worst/overhyped bands
Fave stuff i'm listening to at the moment is
Richard ashcroft... The new album is a work of art
Royksopp, hideously underrated, great stuff really... the best chillout music available if you ask me
Also liking Motion city soundtrack, saves the day, alkaline trio, not to most people's taste, but hey.
Editors, they're pretty good, allthough some of the album is crap, but worthy of a mention.
Moby's latest album is ok, and il always love his older stuff.
Things i don't particularly like...
Arctic monkeys.. good, but just too overhyped
Trivium.. same applies really, people making a fuss over not a great deal
Orson.. just crap.
Kaiser chiefs... see Orson
Hard fi.. see kaiser chiefs

Over-rated:

they are not huge here but there are a few pockets of adherents here and there. 20000 seconds is a brilliant track. veering wildly off topic, since you are gracing the lounge Bob, fancy making this a WU thread? WG won't care he's too busy bellyaching in the other forum.
nobody ever wins on those things.

Current faves:
Strokes - latest album is superb, subject to a lot of unfair criticism IMO
Kings of Leon (obviously)
Bloc Party - excellent debut album, amazing drummer.
Graham Coxon - again a very agreeable current album
Beck - Guero remix album provided some recent interest, Clap Hands is a slammer....
Non Faves / Overrated
Arctic Monkeys - not bad, but not worthy of their status. Only in the list as they are HUGELY overrated
The Streets - actually make me cringe now, can't see what the fuss is about. Lyrics about fry-ups and pubs don't make you a 'poet' (Grrrrr.....)
Kaiser Chiefs - Silly sing-a-long songs for simple folk.
Babyshambles - Just crap really. Lead singer seems to think they're good though, that's what crack can do to a person.
K T Tungstell - So gratingly cheerful and upbeat it makes me want to attack a complete stranger to redress the balance. The musical equivalent of Dawsons Creek.

Arctic Monkey's highlight the power of the internet - much like Blair Witch Project all the promo was done online and hyped up by mates and groupies. hype snowballed they got a deal and then the record label fanne the hype. It worked biggest selling album ever and tour sold out in minutes (record label rubbing hands together).
In reality it was a good album but not a great album - 45 minutes on songs that all sound the same, but a different sound to everything else.
Certain Romance is the best track.
My favs are
Best of James Brown (cant beat a bit of funk)
Plump DJ's - a plump night out (breakbeat legends)
Streets new album 'Hardest way to make an easy living'
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Primal Scream - Xtrnmntr
Cyprus Hill - BlackSunday
Dirty pretty things are quality aswell
my hates are
Futureheads
