The official music thread

I believe "General Chat" is the correct place for this thread.

Everybody can list their favorite current bands, or all time faves, then others can judge you as a person based on who you put.

There aren't really any bands at the moment I can say I'm huge fans off. I tend to be more into 80s and 70s music, mainly New Wave.

Some of my favourites:

Talking Heads
Men at Work
Human League
Spandau Ballet
Split Enz
Bee Gees
Abba
Thompson Twins
Dire Straits
Miami Sound Machine

Too many to list.

You might like Arcade Fire if you haven't heard them before.

*Congratulates Mike on his excellent musical taste*. Have you got their first album, Funeral? It is also brilliant.

Edit: Oh! I have just followed your link, and seeing as the song playing is Rebellion (Lies) I guess you must know the stuff off Funeral. :D

Others on my list:

Yes, both cds are awesome. Now if only they would ever book a show in Florida....

Quite different stuff on here than their earlier albums, but like most Radiohead albums, listen to it all they way through a few times, and it won't get out of your head. It's a really good album.
