What's the one act you always end up coming back to?

[Mr Moose]

Joy Division and Madness

Wouldn't it be good if just for one night they swapped lyrics?

'Our House' to the tune of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'?

'Dead Souls' to the tune of 'Baggy Trousers'?

 

[twistedAM]

Whitney Houston

I don't care for the crack rumours and the lies

My heart has,

and always will,

belong to

Whitney

It's not right but it's Ok

 

[Roadkill]

Bob Dylan. I go through phases of not listening to him much, but every so often I put an album, or a few favourite songs on, and he never fails to impress me.

Ditto The Oysterband, who are about the one act who've never recorded anything I don't like.

 

[the button]

Cpt Beefheart.

Safe as milk has been my favourite album ever since I first heard it over 20 years ago.

 

[newbie]

in the last 10 years or so, pulp.
over a longer period, John & Beverly Martyn

 

[treefrog]

For me, gotta be Deftones. Been listening to them again tonight for the first time in a few months and still fucking adore every song they've ever done. For me, my favourite act of all time.

That, however, isn't exactly the point of thread. Not 'which is your favourite', more 'what act do you drift away from for a bit, but then have a listen every once in a while and get totally sucked into'.

Deftones, I salute you.

This, basically. Bought B-Sides and Rarities about a month ago, it's been on HEAVY rotation since.

Bit worried about the band since Chi Cheng's accident though, hope he pulls through

 

[kittyP]

In terms of stuff that I leave for a bit but always go back to,

Pearl Jam
Belle & Sebastian
Smashing Pumpkins
Mogwai (which is a bit of a lie as I am always listening to Mogwai but hey ho)
Dylan
Pink Floyd
loads of stuff...

There is much more stuff that I love but I tend to consistently listen to it so it doesn't really fit the OP.

I think that the Deftones have done some wicked stuff. Use to listen to them all the time.
Went to a (kinda) secret gig at the Kentish Town Forum about 10 years ago that blew me away.
Can't say that I have listened to them for a very long time though.

 

[kained&able]

pitchshifter.

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.


Can go months without listning to more then a couple of trcks and then for a day or two i'm pretty much injecting them.

Deftones isn't a bad shout as well though and alice in chains.

[rikwakefield]

It has to be Kraftwerk, Velvet Underground and Kate Bush for me. (sorry it's three , I know the title says one.)

 

[contadino]

First and foremost, The Charlatans. All too often I find myself browsing through iTunes and just putting their whole lot on random.

The Beatles come a very close second, but I always seem to stick Abbey Road on rather than their other stuff.

 

[Orang Utan]

Kate Bush, Toto's Africa and Basic Channel

[Cheesypoof]

i dont get this thread - i am utterly loyal to the musicians i like all the time, and never 'drift off'

 

[Mogden]

The Wildhearts

 

[Orang Utan]

Do you listen to the same stuff all the time over and over again then?

 

[Cheesypoof]

Do you listen to the same stuff all the time over and over again then?

ALWAYS!

 

[Orang Utan]

ALWAYS!

I don't get THAT! Must get boring.

 

[Cheesypoof]

I don't get THAT! Must get boring.

it doesnt for me, but i guess it would for many.

 

[chriswill]

Alice In Chains for me.

Jar of flies is about as perfect a record as you can get

 

[dilute micro]

Alice In Chains for me.

Jar of flies is about as perfect a record as you can get

This is one of mine.

It's a shame Jar of Flies is so depressing.

 

[sojourner]

I don't get THAT! Must get boring.

Not if you always listen to it pissed. Each time will be a revelation - 'god, I've never heard that bit before!', etc

 

[Cheesypoof]

Not if you always listen to it pissed. Each time will be a revelation - 'god, I've never heard that bit before!', etc

you can do that sober too.

 

[sojourner]

you can do that sober too.

No, I think there's a limited amount of times you can listen to stuff sober and do that.

Pissed listening inevitably involves bouts of amnesia

 

[goldenecitrone]

Mozart.

 

[stavros]

Carter USM possibly.

 

[rioted]

Bob Dylan. I go through phases of not listening to him much, but every so often I put an album, or a few favourite songs on, and he never fails to impress me.

Ditto The Oysterband, who are about the one act who've never recorded anything I don't like.

Agree with both of those big time. Probably only bested by Captain Beefheart.

 

[rioted]

Listening to new stuff enhances my regard for Dylan and Beefheart as influences. It's a buzz!

 

[Cheesypoof]

Agree with both of those big time. Probably only bested by Captain Beefheart.

love him!

 

[albionism]

Wouldn't it be good if just for one night they swapped lyrics?

'Our House' to the tune of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'?

'Dead Souls' to the tune of 'Baggy Trousers'?

"My Girl" to the tune of "Atmosphere".
It works, i just tried it.

 

[N_igma]

Liffo cunts!
