Stink is becoming one of my favorite music critics.
I usually like the things that he likes.
On the flip side, if he really dislikes something it's almost a gurantee that I'll like it :wink:

Any idea of other bands/projects that blonde lead singer was a part of? She has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. Although the lead singer for Morcheeba is probably my favorite. She could be ugly as hell but I still would because of that voice. They broke up too didn't they?


Beth Gibbons, and she's had one solo album, Out of Season.


Thanks, Stink. Is that album any good?

I haven't actually heard it, I just did the legwork at AllMusic.com (quite possibly one of the most useful sites out there) for you.

On a different side of that coin, I get aggravated when people think the same thing about me, yet a few of my favorite bands have sold millions of records. I had friends in college that were convinced that I didn't actually like Ween, that I only did for "shock value".


when i told a friend of mine i really got into ween, he thought i had started smoking dope. because he thought that's the only kind of person they could attract. :roll:

i get when people will say they love indie bands (i'd buy someone saying grandaddy is one of their favorites), it's just when they don't identify there is greatness from mainstream bands as well that bugs me. people who hate stuff just because it's popular or whatever. that sort of thing. not EVERYTHING that's gone platinum sucks. and also, there's plenty of garbage in the indie industry as well.

the truth is that most bands are just filler or background noise.
my approach is to do what I can to find the best (imo) of each genre.

i want to know who the really good hip hop artists are...the really good chick singer songwriter piano types...all of it.

Turbonegro is the finest that homoerotic Scandanavian trash-core offers.

You should all go check out some Gentle Giant right now. Any of the following albums:

Octopus
The Power and the Glory
Free Hand
Three Friends

I know I've heard Mogwai, although I cannot recall whether or not I liked them.

Portishead kicks ass. What the hell happened to them. Ever since I bought the Roseland NYC live cd in like 1998 I haven't heard a peep from them.


This is a beautiful album. One of my absolute favorites.

I also love Radiohead.

Gentle Giant is okay. They're kind of a forgotten prog band, kind of like Van Der Graaf Generator. Van Der Graaf Generator is best left forgotten.

I'm just not totally sold on this Radiohead album, by the way. Flashes of brilliance, but it's not better than anything they've done except Pablo Honey.

I really love Gentle Giant a whole lot. They are the band that I recommend to people and they usually react with "You're not serious, right?"

Mildly funny story about how I got into Gentle Giant: I was looking for some NFL Films stuff, which was on a compilation called The Power and the Glory, which also happens to be the name of a Gentle Giant album, and so I accidentally happened upon "Cogs in Cogs" and decided it was pretty cool.

Gentle Giant is pretty good and all, yeah, but not essential to anyone's prog collection. That's a designation I'd save for the big KC albums like In the Court of the Crimson King, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Red, and Discipline.

"three friends" = solid concept album from them.

Hell yeah.

What's your take on Beat? It seems to get slagged for being too '80s-poppy, but I still like it a lot, especially "Sartori in Tangiers" and "Waiting Man," the latter being fantastic on Absent Lovers. Hey, there's another one everyone needs to have.

You need to have Discipline, Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair, and Absent Lovers. The Adrian Belew era of Crimson was fantastic.

Thrak is pretty cool. I didn't realize the greatness of the double-trio iteration of KC till I started listening to each channel individually.
