Coolness. Kilbey just reeks of it. They've got charisma just oozing out their pores.

If you want to try something a little harder (not metal, though), check out Girls vs. Boys. Harder, not as literate, just as cool.

Yeah, Kilbey is cool, but Marty Wilson Piper is the one that has the rock star guitar god act down when his is on stage.

Yeah, that's why I changed it to "they" in the third sentence.

PS You may want to go back, edit, and put back the "]" that you accidentally deleted.

i'm confused...is this the list of music to "purge from your collection ?"

..hmmm...i'll take what's behind door number 3...

Graham Parker had more raw energy and passion in his lyrics IMHO than Elvis Costello or Springsteen. Too bad he couldn't get a decent record deal after the 80's.

Well, I certainly hope no one took list A to serious, but list B does have some pretty good music in it. I guess I could add a list C of some harder stuff like:

List C

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Alice In Chains
Guns N' Roses

Originally posted by Mallow005 bittersweet symphony is a good song, but I'm saying there are others that are better. Many people think that Bittersweet Symphony is their ONLY good song (one hit wonder). Examples? Starsail, The Drugs Don't Work, Lucky Man, Velvet Morning, A Man Called Sun, Neon Wilderness, to name a few. A Storm in Heaven is a better album than Urban Hymns in my opinion.

Dam it MALLOW you are right!
I got my used copy of VERVE "storm" and it is great from start to finish. Not quite 100% shoe gaze material, but very heavily influenced. Still don't know if any song on here is of the same stature as "bittersweet" or "sonnett" though.

Yep. Does not get much better than that for the hard stuff. I would add Deep Purple to that list.

 

[dudlew]

Just to add:

The Pet Shop Boys
Deacon Blue
INXS
