Albums you should buy straight away

Herbalizer - Very Mercenary

Difficult to categorize but chilled, atmospheric tunes based on hip-hop beats, some tracks have lyrics and they are of the highest quality
 
pearl jam eh?

Spacemen 3 - Playing With Fire

It's space rock init. Well, velvets stooges only one bloody chord heroin trance lullabies for stoners.
 
I could not do without:

The Clash - London Calling
Bjork Gudmundsdottir & trio Gudmundar Ingolfssonar - Gling Glo
The Wicker Man original soundtrack album
The White Stripes - Elephant
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
 
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump. Like a soundlash of Radiohead, ELO and the Carpenters.

And as previously threaded - the new Arcade Fire CD.

I'm not the only one who has provided a one word description and I feel as though I am being singled out here.

What genre are Felt? I'd say 80's Alternative/Indie.

Why do I like them? Great songs that are brilliantly crafted. Wonderful guitar and superb Hammond organ playing by Martin Duffy who went on to join Primal Scream.

I get the feeling I am the only Urbanite who has ever heard of Felt. Though surely some older viewers will have heard the single Primitive Painters, which Felt did in collaboration with The Cocteau Twins.

that i singled you out? yeah because i was interested in who the fuck felt were. the others not so much.... so i singled you out for elaboration!!

Fair enough. Felt don't exist anymore. Lawrence went on to form Denim and then Go Kart Mozart.

No you're not - I was obsessed with them aorund about the time they broke up - 1990? - but I have to disagree with you - I like 'Poem of the River' too.

and Denim.

My must have albums - the later Velvet Underground albums - country ish pop songs with great riffs and strange lyrics.

Later Cocteaus - I love Heaven or Las Vegas, and Blue bell Knoll

Bowie's Station to station

Nick Cave's Murder Ballads
 
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes. Kate Bush with mega angsty lyrics

The Wildhearts - Earth Vs the Wildhearts - Disgustingly dirty, depraved, sounds happy but is sad rock which will have you pogoing round the house for days. Every song is an earworm too so you'll find yourself humming them for months. Then you'll put the album, dig it out 3 months later, realise how good it is and then pogo away for hours again

:D Damn right. And that album is the reason I smoke Regals when I'm on straights rather than baccy.

"My vacuum cleaner's blowing out instead of sucking in". Dammit!! I really should only post about it when I've got it with me :mad: :D

I have Stains on a Decade, but haven't as-yet gotten around to buying the albums. Wonderful band.

Cool. In some places Felt remind me of VU. Cocteau's are cool too. :cool:

Is it mean to say No but I always thought they were rubbish?

Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

They feel kinda obvious but if you don't, then you really should.
