What is everyones next favorite band besides NEW ORDER?

Originally posted by Ben Aspinall > Originally posted by Sparkly Sarah> i'm very eclectic in my musical tastes which span from s club 7 to disturbed, my personal favourites being placebo, the manic street preachers and radiohead. however, i have absolutely no liking for perpetrators of r n b or uk garage, or, for that matter, 'artists' such as the white stripes and avril lavigne. eurgh.

Wait, white stripes are not artists but S Club are? Help me out here...???

s club are really happy and cheesy and fun. and of course, there ain't no party like an s club party, to be fair. the white stripes are just annoying, and shite really. (and the stupid bint who was in the room next door to me at uni till she got chucked out hahaha used to play them all the bloody time.)

Originally posted by Larry Boos seriously though TY all It's good to know what other people like!

Agree

Second favourite band of all time EVER???

Well I guess it'd have to be:

Radiohead Elvis Costello Bjork Magazine/Howard Devoto

Most of the others I like have been mentioned on here already.

Besides NO, love Massive, Phish, Depeche, Llorca, Clash, Talking heads, Fabulosos Cadillacs, Soda Stereo (these two from argentina), and Tenesse Ernie Ford

Hey Revolution (etc etc) nice choice ! I'd forgotten how good the Spacemen were - until I dug my old copy of "Playing with fire" out the other day. A ticket stub for a concert they played at Leicester Uni fell out of the CD booklet (must have been from 1988 or 89). I have a very vague memory of sitting cross legged on the floor below the speaker stacks. The sound of "Revolution" was still ringing in my ears about a week later !

Used to be well into Spiritualized as well but I think Jason is begining to lose it a bit. Not that keen on the track on the War Child charity record to be honest. I am ,however, a big fan of the "Pure Phase" LP particularly the last track "Feel like goin home" - blows me away every time.

Have you heard either of the Echoboy LP's - I love them - they have a similar vibe to the Spacemen/Spiritualized.

Other stuff I am into:-

Throbbing Gristle Durutti Column Karlheinz Stockhausen Serge Gainsbourg Wendy Carlos Doves Popul Vuh Miles Davis

Wendy Carlos is fabulous.

and Popol Vuh's 1979 Nosferatu soundtrack is brilliant.

The Jam is my favorite group of all time.

Followed by:

PSB/NO/Electronic Style Council/Paul Weller Oasis Joy Division Ultravox (both flavors equal) Kate Bush Roxy Music Kraftwerk Who Clash Beatles/Paul McCartney & Wings Led Zeppelin Propaganda Sex Pistols and lots more...

Changes all the time, but currently my top 10 after NO/JD would be (in no particular order):

Cocteau Twins The Jam Guns 'n' Roses The Clash Echo & The Bunnymen U2 Oasis Stiff Little Fingers Blur Pink Floyd

I guess GNR stand out a bit - I don't like any other metal, but they do it for me!

Led Zeppelin The DOORS David Bowie Pet Shop Boys Alice Cooper Lou Reed Ian Hunter Fine Young Cannibals Leftfield The CLASH PUBLIC IMAGE Happy Mondays PINK FLOYD Jimi Hendrix Gay Dad RADIOHEAD The CURE Neil Young MARC BOLAN/T.REX PRINCE The KINKS Big Country The VERVE OASIS PAUL WELLER The WHO The JAM U2 MOBY PULP PLACEBO The ROLLING STONES

Crowded House: My former favourite band, I Neil Finn's songwriting, especially Don't Dream It's Over.

Eurythmics: Another part of new-wave synth pop, I ended up liking their comeback adult-contemporary oriented Peace more than their other albums.

Pet Shop Boys: Went insane with all the comparisons with New Order and bought their best of to find out what it was all about. I bought their 6th album Bilingual yesterday and yeah let's just say I'll be investing quite heavily in their back catalogue from now on....

Electronic: Lovely pop hooks dotted over three albums, they have a light refreshedness about them which is a relief from New Order's bassy moodiness.

It changes now and again , at the moment it's:

The doors The who White Stripes Ian Brown Happy Mondays Iggy Pop

Look you, don't start slagging my fookin bands when you're listening to S Club Who let you out anyway?:D

And Benny lad, I'm 28 not fookin 38

Brasco, I do sometimes listen to other bands;)

Save it for the judge, Shugzy old boy. ;)

i listen to jimi hendrix, the clash, the sex pistols, the ramones, echo and the bunnymen, royal crown revue, gary numan........i could prolly list over 30 fav singers and bands i like besides new order but new order is one that is in my most favorite list.

After New Order and related projects, my second favorite is Depeche Mode. But I also like: U2 Pato Fu (my favourite Brazilian band) Pink Floyd Pet Shop Boys Information Society Linkin Park (yes, believe it or not) The Beatles The Cure Ace of Base A-Ha Duran Duran Alphaville The Cardigans Oasis Madonna (pos-1992)

s club are really happy and cheesy and fun. and of course, there ain't no party like an s club party, to be fair. the white stripes are just annoying, and shite really. (and the stupid bint who was in the room next door to me at uni till she got chucked out hahaha used to play them all the bloody time.)

I never bought into their hype until their latest album, Elephant. It really is a wonderful reinterpretation of the blues, and Jack White is blossoming into quite the skilled songsmith.

My favorite bands:

Aphex Twin The Beach Boys Bjork Blur David Bowie (particularly Station To Station and the 'Berlin' trilogy Neko Case The Chameleons The Clash Cocteau Twins Elvis Costello The Cure Echo & The Bunnymen Brian Eno Gang Of Four Godspeed You Black Emperor Husker Du Jesus & Mary Chain Lush Massive Attack Sarah McLachlan Mission Of Burma Van Morrison/Them My Bloody Valentine Public Image Ltd./Sex Pistols Radiohead REM The Replacements Slowdive The Smiths The Sound (this band NEVER gets the attention they deserve. wonderful post-punk) Spiritualized Stone Roses Talking Heads The The Wilco Wire XTC

You guys may laugh at some of these, or wonder how I came to liking New Order, but: -Razed In Black -Rammstein -Marilyn Manson -ATB -Joy Division -Icon Of Coil -Type O Negative -Kittie -Life Of Agony -Nine Inch Nails -U2 -Children Of Bodom -Loads of others as well, but I actually have CDs by these guys (and girls), so...

By the way, someone mentioned Throbbing Gristle. Did they by chance cover a New Order or Joy Division song? Because the name sounds very familiar to me.

In no particular order:

Sea Food Sticks (formerly The Fish Sticks) The Jonathan Peterson Quartert Humble Stiltskin (East European goth with a twist of lemon) Eggs in the Basket (very Joy Division) Metalhead Trout Terry Dolomite Humphries and his dancing baskets Keith

I must confess I've been listening to a lot of Keith recently and her stuff is quite magnanimous.

Sétima Legião Echo & The Bunnymen The Sound Clan of Xymox Radiohead The Go-Betweens U2 (yes, U2!) The Cure (yes, The Cure!) REM Suede Oasis Depeche Mode (yes, Depeche Mode!) Peter Murphy/Love & Rockets/Tones on Tail David Bowie Siouxsie & The Banshees Iggy Pop B-52's

Originally posted by five hates six AssociatesBilly mackenziePre 86 Simple Minds

Deftones and Radiohead at the moment.

I like loads of stuff. Depeche Mode are my 2nd favourite band after NO, then the rest of my list goes something like this (this isn't in any particular order apart from the top two names):

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (my 3rd favourite band; I'm obsessed wtih these guys at the minute) Feeder Ash Happy Mondays Stone Roses The Charlatans Def Leppard (my older sis was a rocker for years) Status Quo (no, I'm serious! I grew up on them) Electronic Chemical Brothers Led Zep Sugababes (probably the only pop group it's OK to like) Ryan Adams Lots of dance music (only the good stuff, though: DJs like Sasha, John Digweed etc.)

Nice to see I'm not the only Strokes-hater here! :) Possibly the most overrated band ever. Ditto for the White Stripes. I also hate The Vines with a passion bordering on the unreasonable.

Joy Division Echo & the Bunnymen The velvet Underground
