I don't venture on this bit very much, are there many Wolf Alice fans? They seem one of the strongest bands out there at keeping indie music going.

I’m curious about Lana del Rey. I know she’s got a new album out as well as many others. Where to begin? Just go in chronological order, or whichever appeals to your taste: Born to Die - Glamourous, vintage pop mixed with hip-hop beats. Ultraviolence - Smoky, rock-flavoured indie. Honeymoon - Cinematic noir, like music for the saddest James Bond film ever. Lust for Life - Don't start here, it's not her best. Norman Fucking Rockwell - Folk pop with a languid, sunset feel. Very gorgeous. Try this song first. It's an EP/Bonus track from the Born to Die era, and if you don't like it, I doubt Lana is for you:

Is listening to Demons and Wizards permitted even though Jon was a dumbass Jan 6th? Unfair on Hansi Kursch, no?

That cover is so gorgeous! Gives me soulful vibes, would love to her go in a direction like that. Got a big job on her hands following up the debut, but I trust in her and Finneas.

So Catholics want a radio station shut down because of Satanic music? I have a lapsed Catholic mother but she respects my taste. Opeth's The Grand Conjuration is about the titular main character surrendering to Satan after he kills his mother, idiots.

There's an artist I've been wanting to talk about for some time: Vashti Bunyan.
I almost started a thread dedicated to her but remembering the shameful flop of the Elliott Smith one I prefered to post here How to describe her music ? Let's say she's like a woman counterpart of Nick Drake, and if we have to go to (my) the other side of the Channel, late 60's Francoise Hardy stuff is also reminiscent. So with this description you'll understand that it's not with Vashti you'll find huge electric riffs or in your face sound Her recordings are some of the most intimate sounding I've listened to. It almost feels like she's actually there singing in your room. And the melodies are very beautiful. Vashti Bunyan released three studio albums. Her debut, "Just Another Diamond Day" was released in 1970 and was ualmost totally snobbed by the media and the british audience. As a result, Vashti will abandon her career until the 21st century, when she released two albums: "Lookaftering" and "Heartleap". She also released a compilation , which includes her 60's singles aswell as unreleased demos (some of which would finally be released on her debut album). All those albums are beautiful but if you want to start with some songs, here are a few that might seal the deal for you: EDIT: Can't resist to tag a few members eva matt World71R theyknowwhatimean I think there's a chance you might like her music (if you don't know it already).

My favourite Stereophonics song. For some reason Roll Up and Shine popped into my head randomly a few days ago. Made me remember what a stunning album that one is. I need to listen to it again soon.

Is Daria correct? If you play that John Lennon song backwards, it says, "Imagine all the people, browsing in a mall." Isn't that weird?
Song is Imagine

My favourite Stereophonics song. I really liked that acoustic live album Jones did, he knows to write a tune. Stereophonics are that safe reliable band, you can pay for a ticket to go to their gig and as long as they stick to the greatest hits, you'd have a great night out. For me they never topped their debut album, Word Gets Around. For me that album isn't anything ground breaking or anything but it's got a lot of heart to it that everything after lacked. I think also Stuart Cable was a big miss for them as he was the heart and soul of them. Performance and Cocktails and Just Enough Education to Perform are probably just slightly behind their debut for me. Both extremely listenable post Britpop albums, I saw them live during the Performance and Cocktail live era and they were very good. You can see why they became big for a while, they play to the lad rock crowd and they had singles that Radio 1 would be all over. After those albums, you had the odd great single (Maybe Tomorrow, Dakota, Rewind) and the only album that I really enjoyed was Keep the Village Alive (2015), which was slight return to form for them for me. Performance and Cocktails has some great stuff on it, all the singles are fantastic and Roll Up and Shine and T-Shirt Sun tan are great album tracks. Bartender and the Thief is one of their few seriously rocking songs and it was the right choice as first single.

Good essay about the end of the stone Roses and the seahorses There's a great interview some guy on YouTube did with the singer of the band Chris Helme (who wrote probably best thing they done which was Blinded by The Sun, which is fantastic song) seems like a nice guy and doesn't seem any ill will from his side with John Squire. I really like the album still has Squire love for Led Zeppelin on it and it has a great co-write by Liam Gallagher on Love Me and Leave Me. Love is the Law is a cracking rock song too. I also like their non album single You Can Talk To Me. Not a lost classic or anything but really a good one off album.

Was listening to this masterpiece, it got me thinking about "eternal pop" - i.e. pop songs that are so well-written and infectious that you could release in them in any realistic year and they'd still be a hit. I think you could put Levitating out in 1972, 1997, 2008, or now, and it'd still dominate the charts. Other ones that come to mind:
- Wonderwall by The Lads - Yellow by Coldplay - Crazy by Gnarls Barkley - Budapest by George Ezra - Toxic by Britney Spears - In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry - Gold Digger by Kanye West - Help! by The Beatles

Outstanding early version of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - you can hear the first seeds of City of Blinding Lights in this version. It's less industrial and more guitar driven like their 2000-2004 period.

Weller fans, how many albums did the Style Council release before he thought of going so full time?

This popped up in my Discover Weekly on Spotify:
Damon Albarn makes the most random-ass appearances in songs, I swear, but I love it. This song is pretty good.
