View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
I put this on for the first time this evening. My first thought was that this sounds a lot like The Pixies. Then I looked up the band members and saw Kim Deal was there. No surprise.
I wait for you in heaven
On this perfect string of love
And drink your soup of magpies in a
Pottery bowl that looks
As I am now, brown, round and warm
Well, what can one say to that?
Also makes me want to go back and listen to Cranes.
you're welcome.
i might have mentioned kim deal, but you figured it out anyway.
and thanks for taking my jokes for what they are (or at least being magnanimous enough to ignore them); it seems some people on these forums here are decidedly oversensitive

I'm used to years of people making jokes - decades, even. It's quite all right - it's both to be expected and enjoyable. I may even be disappointed if it didn't happen!
Tonight I thought I'd revisit one of my favourte bands of all time - Paradise Lost. And what better album than that which got me into metal in the 1990s: Icon. And now, 25 years later, it's still as good.
I'm coming to the slow realistion that the music I most enjoyed came from the '80s, '90s and 2000s. Comparatively this decade doesn't do that much for me. There are still some very good albums that came out in the 2010s, but I don't think as many as in previous years.
I stopped listening to Radiohead after Hail To The Thief. I enjoyed parts of it, but, having been floored by the trilogy of OK Computer / Kid A / Amnesiac, I found it a disappointment and anyway, I was moving into other areas of interest in music.
This is the first time I've given them any serious attention since 2003, and I'm glad I came back for it. Inventive, stunningly-executed, brave, varied. I'm only one play through and there is so much to appreciate already. How a band can keep producing such genuine, natural and seamlessly original work is a secret that few have discovered in music.

i remember buying Kid A in a hypermarket when i was living in a place that had no decent record stores.
it was a revelation.
the words, the music, the feeling - and the fact that this was mainstream - what apparently teenagers listened to - it all blew me away.
i listened to nothing else for a month or so, even had the cd sleeve pinned to my wall...
much later i completely stopped listening to them; i think this has several reasons:
they have a very unique and recognizable style that gets old evtl.
that very style became a thing and other bands started emulating it
______________________
now, another of my old vinyls: The Sea and Cake - Nassau (full album)
very strange music.
annoyingly scratchy "indie" guitar, a hopeless "singer", but what great compositions, what a rhythm section, what jazziness!
i have seen them live and was blown away. how the drummer dominated the whole band was almost frightening. they were really, really good.
after that i went and bought 2 albums, but was disappointed.
but i can still hear some of the greatness in the studio recordings.
I'm not normally one for compilation albums but this is stunning. I first heard it around 2002, and it's basically the perfect DM album, all 97 minutes of it. You don't need anything else by them.
I beg to differ. The Singles 81→85.
My brother still has this I think.
The People are People Single was one of the first pieces of Music I bought with my own money.
And Construction Time Again is still highly valued, with such classics as: Pipeline Everything Counts
