![]()
Stone Roses, Jimi Hendrix, World of Twist, One Dove, Andrew Weatherall all IMO achieved greatness, Albeit fleetingly, in most cases.
JOY DIVISION PET SHOP BOYS DAVID BOWIE STONE ROSES HAPPY MONDAYS LED ZEPPELIN OLD OASIS THE VERVE ALICE COOPER AND MANY MORE...............;)
Stone Roses
Inspiral Carpets
REM
U2
Depeche Mode
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bjork
The Smiths
Electronic
Fleetwood Mac
Oasis
Smashing Pumpkins
Sisters Bunnymen Banshees Cure Cocteaus Killing Joke Chameleons All the usual early eighties suspects.
Absolutely loads of artists... Echoboy, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Queens Of The Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Cooper Temple Clause, ...could go on for ages.
Despite me being a New Order collector and having grown up with them, my favourite band is Arab Strap, but their six year history makes it a lot easier to track down their back catalogue.
Andy.
Pavement 21 shows + 2 Stephen Malkmus solo Wilco 11 shows REM's the only other band I've seen over 10 times, but that wasn't necessarily an obsession (though I like them quite a bit). It was kind of just a cool thing to do growing up in the American south in the mid-80s.
In no particular order:
Jonathan Richman
Lou Reed
Belle and Sebastian
The Clash
Radiohead
Elvis Costello
The Cure
Sex Pistols
the "British Invasion" era
Beatles/Lennon solo
Pink Floyd
The Who
XTC
Doves
and many many more that I can't remember right now...![]()

The Cure's the other biggie for me.
Then other random ones like the Pixies, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Faint, and on and on.
Joy Division (does it count?) + Side Projects The Cure Depeche Mode (altough not doing much recently) U2
Are the only other artists I'm collecting stuff.. so I guess bands I'm pationnate about.
My New Order passion is the only one surviving between releases, and it's 100% due to this site however... I wouldn't listen to New Order as much as I do without this website.. but what music could I listen when working on this site ;)
This is a brief list...
Kraftwerk Daft Punk The The Depeche Mode Pet Shop Boys The KLF Early Oasis Information Society Happy Mondays Stone Roses Blur Charlatans The Smiths/JM

go ahead and flame me...but I've been listening to Peter Murphy quite a bit the last couple of days...he's not all that bad...
Well, it all really depends upon my mood, but:
The Cure The Smiths (inc. Moz, but actually like Smiths better)
After those two, it varies. Been listening to The Clash everyday lately; before that, The Real McKenzies. Depeche Mode, The Ramones, Pet Shop Boys, Siouxsie.
The CHEMICAL BROTHERS, DAft Punk, New Order, some Dj's,Crystal Method....
Sometimes i feel....Out Of Control![]()

I juggle between all these, but Joy Divsion and New Order are still on top of my list.
BT is pure genious when it comes to writing dance-music.
For the Swedes out there, Jävlaranamma is the best live-band in a crowded bar with lots of beer... :D

The Fall and Echo and the Bunnymen have been constants over the last 23 years. Velvet Underground, The Ramones, Husker Du, The Lemonheads, The Pixies, Sisters of Mercy (83/88 versions), Manics (until the crap album that ripped off the Heaven Up Here sleeve), Radiohead, The House of Love, Wedding Present, more recently The Strokes.

Can't really get worked up about anyone else the way I can with New Order, but ACR have always been there on the backburner, and the Mondays were a big fave for a while although they've blotted their copybook somewhat over the years and I don't bother with them so much anymore. Have gone through periods of following the Fall and Orbital as well, and current faves include Kraftwerk (again, been listening to loads of their stuff recently), Ladytron, Audio Bullys and Client. Have always been a dancemuzak head though so that's been a constant feature from electro and acid house in me yoof through to watching mates play out these days.

Ooooh, that Client record is eversogood: isn't one of them the lass that used to be in virtual NewOrder tribute band 'Technique'??
Glad to see lots of namechecks for the Cocteaus: while, say, the Order, the Bunnymen, The Smiths & the Pixies (always preferred the Muses, meself) etc. are still regularly namechecked as the cream of 80s 'alternative' pop, Robin, Liz & Simon seem to have fallen by the wayside in terms of critical recognition, which is bloody scandalous, IMHO. Personally think they have plenty in common with New Order in terms of their lack of emphasis on words, numerous songs about shagging, and the foregrounding of emotion-through-abstraction. Plus Raymonde 'borrowed' Hooky's bass sound, of course!!
Originally posted by martin fradley Ooooh, that Client record is eversogood: isn't one of them the lass that used to be in virtual NewOrder tribute band 'Technique'??
Yeah, two girls: one from Dubstar, t'other Technique. Johnny Giles was raving about them after seeing 'em support Ladytron in Germany. I didn't think that much of the album initially but having seen them live it all clicked into place. Such attitude. Love the accents too. "Fook off, don't tooch me there".
Cocteaus. I should add them to my list too, though they're not something I listen to much these days. Quality band in their day.
I hear a lot of this music called "krautrock".Bands like Can, Popul Vuh, Amon Düül, Ash Ra Tempel, Cluster or Tangerine Dream. Also I'm searching for the roots of electronic music. "OHM - the early gurus of electronic music" is a very interesting compilation. I think neworder is by far the poppiest sound i listen to. AND IT'S THE BEST !! + !!!

I imagine it must stem from Dame Stephen's own venomous sideswipes at Joy Division. All disco is vile, dontcha know, even death disco. The uber-bitch couldn't leave it there, of course: we all know how rude he was when Johnny ran away with Barney and they started playing with electronic toys together. Why, he was positively vile!!

It doesn't make sense in Brazil either.
Julio has an imagination that is very weird.

New Order have been my one constant for the last 20 years. I've had a passing interest in the following bands as well but most of them only had a brief run before they called it quits or slid back in mediocrity:
Wedding Present (especially their records from 1989-1992) The Ocean Blue (Not their early stuff but the later "See" and "Davy Jones Locker") Adorable (also more recently, Polak) Smoking Popes (especially "Destination Failure") Early Wild Swans (especially the new release of demos and radio sessions from Renascent) Ian McCulloch (The first two solo albums and the live shows) Housemartins (as long as you exclude the dreadful "Caravan of Love" single) Lloyd Cole and the Commotions (but not Lloyd's solo albums where he somehow lost his mojo) Miles Hunt (especially the acoustic shows) James Groundwell and Ned's Atomic Dustbin (but not Ned's first album) Pixies And for my Brazilian friends I've always really liked Legiao Urbana no matter what anyone else thinks.

I have only heard 7 of these groups so VERY different. ![]()
Originally posted by John Sludden Velvet Underground/Lou ReedThe DoorsStone RosesHappy Mondays
Great choices there. I'm a big fan of all four. I even met Lou Reed once in person and got him to sign my copy of "Metal Machine Music". You bet he gave me dirty looks.
Some great choices been made. I'm a little surprised no-one has mentioned Durutti Column, but you can't have everything...
I am going to post that end of year poll I mentioned a few weeks ago this week, so it's good that everyone's thinking about stuff to vote for.
Anyone else like Interpol by the way?
Being from the Antipodies, I really love the Headless Chickens. Their early stuff is $$%%^&& Amazing. Has the same intensity of JD with the technology of NO.
Being able to see them live, for me, almost makes up for not ever seeing JD.

Most of my friends at home happen to like those bands, although, personally, I think Kittie is overrated.

Scary list! Although I really like Life of Agony, Rammstein and NIN, stuff like Slayer and Children of Bodom scare the hell out of me! The only other heavy band I can take is Sepultura (because of their great guitarwork) but that's pushing it now...
