Re: British Bands
Come on man, Jon Bon Jovi is just so cool. They make pure rockmusic, the best I've ever heard and they're always keeping it real.

Stop it, Leon. You're frightening me now. Really you are!

For my part, I think Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party are my particular faves atm. A bit tired of Franz Ferdinand now - haven't bought their new album. For some reason I can't quite fathom, Kaiser Chiefs get on my... er... nerves, I think maybe cos they seem to be trying so hard to sound like The Jam and The Clash and other bands from the 80s? Maybe I am doing them a disservice.

Well, the thing is, you must realise, is that whilst these bands are very similar, stylistically, they all write different songs.
I know a lot of people have trouble noticing melodies, rhythms, different performances, hooks and so on, and that style seems to be far, far more important a matter to judge a band by these days, but somebody might think Franz Ferdinand sound cool but simply doesn't like the songs themselves, and then listen to the Arctic Monkeys and realise this is what they were after from Franz. Nice tunes and stuff.
Just a thought.

Re: British Bands
I really like Kaiser Chiefs.... and didn't Franz Ferdinand say their music purpose was to make girls shake their booty?

i heard this too, awesome philosophy

im currently listening to an awful lot of hard-fi - stars of cctv, if only for the references to living in feltham, which i experienced a bit of last year.

still enjoying the elbow album, but the doves album is very patchy and doesn't imo stand up to their earlier albums.

with regard to the original post, kaisers singles are OK not something i'd buy and didn't think much of them when i saw em live, same with maximo park didn't rate them live but appply some pressure is a quality track. franz ferdinand were quality live, but the new stuff doesn't do much for me. futureheads good live, and hounds of love is one of my singles of the year. arctic monkeys, loads of hype, waiting for album before judging them on two singles, which i liked. saw the rakes on jools and the 22 grand job is catchy and annoying at the same time.

as i've said on here many times before i love bloc party, haven't listened to an album as much as i've listened to silent alarm since i listened to doolittle so much i had to buy it again cos the cd went funny. brilliant live band too, can't wait to hear the new stuff and see how they progress
