In 1981 I had The Marine Girls on vinyl
I've just found the CD on Play.com and I'm reminiscing!
One band member is a very young Tracy Thorn, who I love, from Everything but the Girl

I have a couple of everything but the girl cd's, songs like driving are just classics. I'll have to check out The Marine Girls
 
Currently listening to Mic Christopher. Nice, mellow and mostly positive. Good music for a beautiful sunny afternoon.
 
I can't say how popular these guys are in their homeland, the UK, but this song (only one I've heard by them) is incredibly reminiscent of the 90's influx of British rock we got around here that made middle and high school very unique. It still sounds modern, though...if you like newer indie stuff chances are you'll like it.

Listen to the part around 46 seconds and onwards...it's the late 90's for me...

i'm in the UK and i've never heard of them, Benson, but that doesn't mean anything. lol! my partner often shakes his head in disbelief when he pulls out some obscure cd and plays it... and i remark that i've never heard of the artist... maybe i've been abducted by aliens & away from this planet for a few years, i dunno.... :D

i'm listening to the local radio... at the moment it's Michael Buble or however you spell his name.. anyway, not my kind of stuff, hoping they'll put something decent on next :D

You know you're getting old when someone speaks of the British music invasion and I'm thinking the Beatles and Rolling Stones!! I didn't even know there was a British invasion in the 90's!!!
 
When I get a chance I'll send you a link to the Wiki page on this band called "The Beatles"...oh, and there's this other one called U2, also from the UK...:tongue:

Well, it was along with bands like Placebo and a few others, during the alternative explosion that followed the garage band/grunge surge in the early 90's...nothing like Ringo's guys...:)

I edited the above post, they are smaller known bands in comparison to the "other" invasion. Yeah, I meant to joke about U2 in an unrelated manner, not say they were in any 90's band surge.

Bands were some like Placebo, Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead, Blur, Prodigy, James...
 
Oh, I've heard of Oasis and Radiohead. I didn't know they were British. It's really not my era but there was a resurgence of good music in the 90's as compared to the suck-ass 80's!!!
 
I think Radiohead got together sometime in the 80's but didn't "make it big" here, at least around me, until the 90's.

You may recognize The Verve's most famous song (also in a movie called Cruel Intentions), it's pretty culturally known:

I think we all have our own perspective on what we took away from each decade...I grew up on 80's music, all the way to age 8 when 1990 hit for me. That retro pop and rock like Duran Duran, The Police, Genesis, New Order, U2 and Peter Cetera is what I know innocent youth to be, and it's probably what you hear as just haunting racket. :)

Hey Benson, nice pic... and soooooooooooo serious looking :eek: .

One of the two radio stations here one was nothing but classic rock and it was my husband fave station...was.. will be.. they just changed the format to 60's 70's and 80's, boy is he gonna be mad :ymad: ... more mellow stuff like Duran Duran and Police :lol2:
 
I loved the 80's!! I'm still living in them as a matter of fact!

*hikes up her stretch pants, straightens her off the shoulder sweatshirt, and pats her big hair on the way out*
 
Ya know Cindy, I can see that perfectly :lol: the big pouf in the front! Puffy shoulder pads and all, and the pants and flat shoes lol.

I find that most people their fave music is in that of ages between 15-18 what ever era it is at your time. Mine was the classic rock era, but AFTER ELVIS , I didnt see him leave the building either :lol:
 
Loving Pendulum - Immersion right now. It's great to keep my mind distracted for 10 minutes while I'm on the train in the morning which is easily the worst part of my day haha.
 
Pen, I may blow your entire theory out of the water. I don't really like most of the music of our time. I've changed taste completely since I was 18. I only listened to Oasis, Stone Roses, and other music of that vain. Now I listen to mostly Christian music or at least music that doesn't degrade others. Right now I'm into some Christian rap, reggae, rock, gregorian chant, polyphany, and classical music and then you can throw some Rush in there somewhere.haha

Right now listening to guys shooting their guns trying to get rid of the bears... I hate hunters but some dont have dogs or they have livestock. All they are doing is looking for food. I know I am such a humanitarian. Hate guns, always have and always will.
 
Wish you were here. Don't really have to put the band you guy's should know!

It's a break from my underground rap and scandinavian melodic death metal.

Yeah, Weezer's last couple have been weak. I haven't heard much off the new one, but it's been a while. Weezer's best song is Island in the Sun or The World Has Turned...GREAT songs. Love those.

So many of my bands have devolved and/or became mainstream, including one of my favorites (if not THE favorite) Breaking Benjamin. Chevelle's last album, Thornley's last album, all have only a couple good songs. Compare that to when I would have just one song I DIDN'T like on previous releases. It sucks when a revered band changes things up.

Thanks for the approval on my choice of music (I just realised that after I typed that I gave a thumbs up to the computer screen).

I've moved on to Belle and Sebastian.
 
Bloc Party!!

I am listening to "Banquet" by Bloc Party. After that my Iphone is telling me that a little bit of "Kids" by MGMT is on deck. Huzzah!
 
Any of you like rap (especially underground), you have to hear this, best rap song I've heard in a while. It's not mainstream, and has explicit lyrics. I'm going to go jogging with my new playlist now that it's cooled below 70, and this will get plenty of play--

And "Twerk" by Tech N9ne (Tech never disappoints)--

And as of Sunday, a return to some industrial:
