Need some help folks. Desperate to sample some new tunes as I haven't found much stuff I like recently. To give you an idea of my tastes, I grew up in the 80's (yes, I'm an old fart  ) listening to U2, Simple Minds, Bon Jovi and other middle of the road rock stuff. More recently, quite like the recent Snow Patrol album, so if you could recommend stuff in a similar vein that I might like, much appreciated. Although anyone who suggests the Black Eyed Peas will be shafted senseless with Walrus's  And no hippedy hoppeddy rubbish will be tolerated either as that just isn't my thang. FAO NMH - heard of a band called The Fray from Denver? Thoughts? |

Hmmm, not so keen on this. Thought it was a little repetitive, if that makes sense. Not really my cup of tea. |

FAO NMH - heard of a band called The Fray from Denver? Thoughts?
The name didn't ring a bell until I did a search and found the following: http://www.thefray.net/mediaplayer/When I listened to 'How To Save A Life' I realised it was a song that is all over the local radio stations. And bloody good it is too ! Am just downloading the album of the same name to give it a go. NMH P.S. You can't go wrong with The Stranglers Suite XVI either. |

I'm pissed off actually. They're playing in Cincy the day I go to fucking Atlanta for a week on business :twisted:
I saw The Stranglers live a few years back. Was never really a big fan until I saw them live, and they were fucking awesome - they actually played a live set for a good two hours at a biker bash up near Matlock, which I just so happened to attend due to it being the venue for a mate's stag weekend. Not really listened to them recently, so I'll check it out.

I always find that American bands like the Fray tend to have one or two decent songs and the rest of the album is utter gash. The one notable exception being The Ginblossoms a few years ago. New Miserable Experience was excellent all the way through. They are still being played alot on the radio. Thats the good thing about America - Nothing ever dates !

If you liked Big Audio Dynamite then try a bit of Carbon/Silicon. Mick Jones (Clash/BAD) and Terry James (Gen X & Sigue Sigue Sputnik). Their stuff is a bit hit or miss, but there are two or three downloadable albums on their website - They are into 'mpfree'. Quite an interesting read and philosophy: http://www.carbonsiliconinc.com/home/default.aspxNMH |

Need some help folks. Get hold of a CD called 'Deadwing' by Porcupine Tree. It sounds right up your street. You won't regret it. |
