During a slow period on the board perhaps we can talk about music we're in to at the moment.

Ben Howard: I've not really been able to get into his music previously but I love this track played live.

"End of the Affair"

Florence & the Machine's new album....brilliant.

Wayward Sons - Ghosts of yet to come.

Relatively new band fronted by the excellent Toby Jepson, ex Little Angels front man. Seen them live a couple of times, they play good old fashioned rock songs and are one of the loudest live bands I have seen (O2 Islington, small venue, huge decibels).

Watching England being half decent at football has got me all nostalgic. So I'm listening to a bit of 90s Britpop.

My favourite song of recent

Slow Readers Club are excellent. Saw them support James at Kentish Town forum the night before we went 23 23 undefeated at Charlton and won the Championship. I've had worse weekends than that one

It's been great to see how they have emerged and evolved from the ashes of their previous incarnation Omerta. Hard working lads who have done it all off their own bat without major backing. They deserve their current success.

A great set of lads as well

Bit of a strange mix here but here it goes :

Thelonious Monk,
The Stone Roses

And a lot of various Salsa/Latin Jazz

Corroncho 2 written and produced, amongst others, by Phil Manzanera.

Believe it or not Columbian based but brilliant

Manzanera is a genius producer

Saw James Bay recently and have been listening mainly to his new album since.
Electric Light.Not as good as Chaos and the Calm at first listen but definitely a grower.

3 lions on a shirt.............. Haven't got it myself but everytime I put the radio on that damn song is playing.

Duffy - Rockferry
Human League - Secrets
Fratellis - In Your Own Sweet Time
Gary Numan - Savage

4 great albums

Hey Ecc,

Another Ben Howard fan, nice!

I saw him live in Manchester last Friday, he was incredible, one of the best artists of recent times but without commercial success.

Check out his new album Noonday Dream , it's great.

With the summer sunshine I've been listening to quite a bit of Dreadzone my Trojan 7inch singles a bit of Funkadelic and a counterbalance I played Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine 1992 the Love Album first time in possible 20 years

Dream Theatre at the moment. Then closely followed by the old favourites Rush.
Moving Pictures brilliant.
Newer stuff another shout for Wayward Sons.
Saw Jepson with Little Angels a few times, great singer

Goat Girl
Young Fathers
Car Seat Headrests
Dream Wife
Meatraffle
Drahla
Oh Sees
Parquet Courts
Goat
Fat White Family
Madonnatron

First saw Little Angels support Marillion with H 1989. I went off Marillion but saw Angels loads of times. Lucky to catch them twice when they briefly reformed 5 or 6 years ago and seen Wayward Sons since. Toby is a great singer and song writer and also a top bloke. They cane out and did met and greet after I saw WS, not your corporate pay for it stuff, out and took photos, signed stuff and just had time to chat to fans. I like a lot of bands but there are a couple that mean something to me. Angels are one of them.

You can keep your new stuff - if it was made after the millennium it counts as 'officially rubbish' at my age. Most 90s stuff goes on the 'wtf' pile and the 80s - a fair few decent tunes. The 70s were musical heaven for anyone with half an ear for music

I usually listen to Pink Floyd/Dave Gilmour, Queen, The Who or a playlist of rock ballads and blues tunes I put together on Spotify. I also like listening to Classical music, especially Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Bruch's violin concerto no1 but the last couple of weeks I have been listening to Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene and Equinox a lot.

Gong and steve hillage and here and now maybe a bit of hawkwind not really moved on from 77

Pictures of Lily.

I've also been listening to Parquet Courts' new one. Their best since Light Up Gold, for me.

Also, I've been listening to Will Haven's WHVN, which was a key album for me as a teenager. It's still brilliant.

Otherwise I built some Ikea furniture last night to a Frank Ocean soundtrack, and after going out on Saturday we had a Destiny's Child disco once we got home. So many bangers.

I forgot to mention Courtney Barnett - her new album has some good tracks on it.

Josh Ritter
Frank Turner

Off to see first John Hiatt and then Steve Earle at the Paradiso in Amsterdam within the space of a few days next week, so catching up on their back catalogue on Spotify. Steve Earle will come on about an hour after the WC Final ends so might be listening to The Blues just after Harry hoists the Jules Rimet aloft!

Greta Van Fleet

If you are a fan of classic rock, you've got to check out these 4 young lads.

I am a great Bob Dylan fan - yes I know it shows my age!, but recently dug out from my collection of covers Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) 'Garcia Plays Dylan.' I'd forgotten how good Gerry was. Well worth a listen - https://youtu.be/2ryfj8Vp2QI?list=PLtca ... N8aTlsvAeA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just managed for the first time in my life to post a link to 'You Tube.'

Buffalo Springfield.

I like them, but their singer needs to stop thinking that he's Robert Plant.

Like them at Coachella they were wearing the same attire as Led Zep did and had the same on stage mannerisms....

I'm with you on that one. Really been enjoying their new stuff, and got tickets to see them later in the year.

Other than that, I've had the new Kamasi Washington album on heavy rotation

The Kinks

Probably explains why it's hitting the charts again http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/news/ ... in-charts/ if England go all the way will be number 1 again no doubt.

I didn't mind the song first time around. It has had its day now. Or has it really been that long.

It is overplayed i agree,Baddiel and Skinner must be rubbing their hands with glee though.

Surely royalties cannot amount to that much as most of the greatest ended up broke at some point.

Bfcboyo wrote:Surely royalties cannot amount to that much as most of the greatest ended up broke at some point.

Divorce, drugs and dodgy managers normally.

Been listening to lots of Struts stuff since seeing them at Download the other week.

Very catchy pop rock with a Freddy/Queen sound and look.

A lot of darkwave at the moment. Soviet Soviet, Lebanon Hangover, Sextile, Black Marble.

Also Chelsea Wolfe.

Thank you everybody for all your recommendations. To be honest I haven't heard of most of the bands/artists mentioned which is good as I can discover new music.

That's why I've always loved these threads. Go through them, toss a lot of bands out but always find one or two new ones I like.

Hi ClaretAndJew.

Strange (but good) coincidence i.e. my post and you just having seen Ben Howard live.

Sometimes a lack of commercial success can be good mainly in terms of an artist/band not "diluting" their style to suit a broader audience.

George Formby

Listen to a duo called Edgelarks, fantastic

Corduroy - Return Of The Fabric Four
Blossoms - Cool Like You

Chelsea Wolfe is absolutely incredible.

Also, in a similar vein (gothic/shoegaze), Emma Ruth Rundle.

The late john peel would have said 'wtf' to some of your music selections..
