Whoa ! Whoa ! all this Glasvegas hatred !

I'm a big fan, seen them 4 times live - I CAN though understand if they don't float your boat, but 'It's my own cheating heart that makes me cry' is up there with anything Elbow have done - HIGH PRAISE INDEED !

I know I'll get shot down for this but.... Fleet Foxes. I can see how good they are and have tried to like them. I compare them to fondant icing - sweetly delicious for a mouthful, but not at all satisfying after a couple of bites. Seeing them live was a disappointment - I had hoped that my ambivalence towards them would change after a gig but, to be honest, I was a little bored by the end. Sorry FF fans. Neutral

^ Sad day. :\ Oh well. More Fleet Foxes for me. Very Happy

Anyway. I've heard a lot of great things about Bombay Bicycle Club, but I can't get into them. The vocals are exceedingly annoying to me.

I bloody well hate Muse.........don't usually talk about what I DON'T like, but I really do not like them. Utter Drivel.

My friends 10 year old son really likes them.......sums it up really, the new Iron Maiden.

Why did I suspect that one might come from someone right now? Wink Each to their own but I have to disagree... !

I have to say I'm with Ticky on FF - listened to their first album a few times ages ago and quite liked it but they've never really "got to me".

Well, I saw Fleet Foxes a couple of years ago and they were as brilliant as I'd wanted them to be - 2 corking album's.

PJ Harvey, I've got most of her album's, but apart from when she played with John Parrish at the Ritz in M'cr, never seen her live as a solo artist and she's in town tomorrow. I think she's an artist with integrity, class and she's pretty damn hot.

An artist I like but really shouldn't - a very recent addition are Friendly Fires - 'Pala' is wonderful, and they looked brilliant at the televised Summer festivals that I saw - that's where they got their claws into me.

I've only seen her live on the PJ Harvey & John Parish tour as well (Birmingham) - excellent it was too, part of the process of me getting totally hooked I think, though I knew some of her albums before then. So tomorrow will be the first time I see her live solo, so to speak.

Must give the Friendly Fires a go - haven't a clue about them; I've been put off up to now as I was kind of confusing them with the Fiery Furnaces who supported Elbow at the MEN and I really wasn't taken with them - what is it with all these FFs...? Wink

YES. HER.

I have several friends who like her. One of them has deemed "Let England Shake" to be his #1 album of this year. I just don't get it. At all. Sorry, guys. :/

OK, I know a lot of y'all probably love her, so pardon my ignorance and all that. But, Lana Del Rey. Do. Not. Get.

She has a nice voice, but nothing that blows me away. I might've been more impressed if I hadn't lived through Fiona Apple 10 years ago already (attractive white girl, pouty lips, sultry voice, slightly enigmatic/dramatic/mildly unbalanced persona - been there, done that). And for my money, Fiona Apple's got the better set of pipes. What am I missing, folks?

^ I can understand why you wouldn't. Sometimes her album can sound a bit samesy. I still enjoy her, though. At any rate, I might have to take some time to look into Fiona Apple. I've heard great things about her.
