fave "other" bands

i,v been using this forum for a couple of months now.. and i think its shit hot.. i like the humour and scathing comments, but what i really wanna know is what other bands are you all into? forget new order for a minute and let us know!!!!

The Charlatans and Gene are my other two obsessions. :)

I go into states where Im oblivious to anything other than New Order and Joy Division ... But I also listen to all the New Order side projects, Garbage, The Smiths, Icehouse, The Cure, At the Drive In, The Cars, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc ...

I actually only like early Cure stuff ... They just got to darn depressing after the Faith release ...

Long list man, but here's a few current faves and old stalwarts

SIX BY SEVEN TREMBLING BLUE STARS STEREOLAB SAINT ETIENNE LAIKA THE BOO RADLEYS CURVE MY BLOODY VALENTINE SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES PALE SAINTS DOVES PIXIES NINE INCH NAILS MOONSHAKE PLUTO MONKEY HIGH LLAMAS PRAM dEUS FLAMING LIPS MERCURY REV

there's more, obviously, but I won't bore you any further ;)

Ah, so many to name: Beatles, Lennon solo The Who Pink Floyd (especially Piper at the Gates) Ramones Pistols Jonathan Richman Velvet Underground Talking Heads The Jam Oasis pre-Standing on the Shoulders Weezer Pulp Iggy Pop Motown 1960's XTC Radiohead Kinks Smiths

So many more, but those are the ones that spring to mind right now....

this thread will go on forever...i like it none the less

cat power smog sleater skinny lemonheads stone roses echo and the bunnymen happy mondays juliana hatfield primal scream sonic youth pixies tanya donelly and belly throwing muses helium pavement joy division toad the wet sprocket jale 54-40

agreed, damned hard question to answer. there's no way my list will be complete, but here goes some of it, at least:

Lush Curve Blur (preferably early, snarky Blur) My Bloody Valentine Ride Flaming Lips Sleater Kinney Bis Guided By Voices Pixies Hi-Posi the Jesus and Mary Chain (Honey's Dead and everything before it, only) Buffalo Daughter early Cure Underworld Voltaire Elastica Cibo Matto Butter 08 Yuka Honda Miho Hatori JSBX Shinohara Tomoe Sakamoto Maaya Kanno Yoko (ANYTHING she does. ANYTHING. this woman is a goddess.) Kawai Kenji Scheer Laika Bjork the Baldwin Brothers L'Arc en Ciel X Japan Pierrot Luscious Jackson PJ Harvey Nick Cave (my favourite Kylie moment ever was in his video for "Where the Wild Roses Grow"....ehehheheehehhehe... :evil: )

ask again tomorrow and all this will probably change.

My favourite bands at the moment are: Radiohead The Beatles The Pixies Pink Floyd The Rolling Stones Echo + The Bunnymen Joy Division U2 The Doors Massive Attack The La's David Bowie The Stranglers Blur The Cure Coldplay Talking Heads The Strokes The Chemical Brothers

.....not in any order at all

Beatles Velvet Underground Iggy Pop Stooges The Fall Echo and the Bunnymen Sisters of Mercy X-Mal Deutschland Bauhaus Crass Pixies Husker Du Tricky Public Enemy Portishead Lush House of Love Wedding Present Manic Street Preachers Radiohead The Strokes

loads more that I have forgotten either temporarily, out of shame or sleep depravation, or have consigned to the out-tray of life.

R.E.M. Depeche Cure Smiths Better Than Ezra Bush Talking Heads Joy Division Electronic Chemical Bros. 808 State Simple Minds U2 Siouxsie Psych. Furs English Beat Just to name a few...

Pixies (& Breeders & Frank Black) R.E.M. Beach Boys Pavement Guided By Voices Deus Grandaddy Teenage Fanclub Mercury Rev Underworld Dinosaur Jr. Kraftwerk Big Star The Smiths Darryl-Ann Etc. Etc.

Lists can be such a cumbersome thing can't they? But to hell with it, they're just too popular by half.

A few of the bands I love other than NO/JD are:

Husker Du, Big Black, Dead Kennedys, Fugazi, Leatherface, Butthole Surfers, Pixies, Breeders, Throwing Muses, The Clash, The Stranglers, Madness, Specials, Blitz, The Meteors, King Kurt, Jesus and Mary Chain, A Certain Ratio, Section 25, Revolting Cocks, Lard, Can, Teardrop Explodes, Blondie, The Kinks, Echo & The Bunnymen....

My other favorite band, besides New Order, is Sonic Youth (which, for reasons still at large, is not listed among my favorite bands in my profile). I'd LOVE to see those two bands tour together.

Other bands I like include Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Ramones, Depeche Mode, The Police, Talking Heads, Rolling Stones, Fleetwod Mac, Duran Duran, The Who, The Smiths, The Beatles, Public Enemy, Nirvana, The Doors, Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Run-DMC, Crystal Method, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, you get the idea. It seems 90% of all the bands I like started in the 60's, 70's or 80's.

Most of my favourite bands have already been mentioned (Beautiful list, Zizou !)

For the sake of completeness just mention a couple of particular favourites that I know other forum-dwellers also like

Yeah, that about covers it.

Many of you (in the U.S. at least) might be interested in the March/April issue of Magnet magazine, featuring those shiny lads from Ride on the cover.

"The History of Shoegazing: The taste that slipped away from American audiences 10 years ago—all dreamy pop swirled into massed guitar feedback—gets a memory reheat. Corey duBrowa chronicles the U.K. scene inhabited by Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Lush, Slowdive, Chapterhouse and the Pale Saints."

Kevin Shields even weighs in on the release date of the new MBV record!

http://www.magnetmagazine.com/

yes, i've got that issue of Magnet...a fairly decent article. and there's a reason why that one fairly good MBV site involves "expectdelay" in the domain name.

did you, perchance, notice the Crispy Ambulance reformation mention toward the beginning of that issue? just wondering. :)

And, just to set the record straight ('cause I know it's been keeping all of you up at night)...

I recorded "Valentine Res" in the winter of '91 before I heard Ride's "Leave It All Behind." Honest...they ripped me off! Sigh.

Can't we all get along and stand in front of guitar amps and soak up waves of feeback while staring at our stomp boxes?

Bit of a deja Vu post you've made, so as promised I'll pull me finger out and reply to a few more than of late. There are quite a few lerkers on here who've actually been inside a nightclub, but I for one wouldn't be so quick as to own up to liking the Pet Shoppies. So I'd echo your list minus them and with the proviso that it was only early Human League. Also not the 'Southern Fried' Primal Scream varient. Plus these: Chemical Brothers One Dove World of Twist Stone Roses Leftfield Underworld 'Boy's Own' Productions in general Way Out West Bedrock Hooj Chicanes' first album(not as embarrasing as PSB's) Disco- Sylvester, Moroder,Chic, Kool and the Gang Nu Yorican Soul Funk Chill Out Soul Motown Hendrix
