Fake Plastic Trees is lovely. Very interesting lyrics. That would be a great band to see live.

I could be mistaken, but didn't StarWisher say they were absolutely fantastic when she saw them?

BoT: Arcade Fire by a longshot. Now wrestling with question of whether Funeral is better or worse the Suburbs.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 I finally got around to listening to “The Suburbs”, and personally I prefer “The Funeral”. I'm pretty sure that's my highest-played, non-Beatles album at the moment. 

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.

Funeral is more depressing, more downbeat, and my current go to album, even more so then any Beatles thing. Funeral (btw, there’s no ‘The’, it’s just Funeral) is very “the dog just died wallow in tears” album, whereas The Suburbs is more the “Why the hell I am stuck in Suburbia?” I still haven’t heard Neon Bible, but I have it on my computer. Soon. Although Neighbourhood #4 is the only song to ever tear me up. Why, I don’t know.

I think I prefer The Suburbs, but I have a feeling that Funeral will grow on me and become my favourite. They're both amazing albums, though.

Lately, I've been listening to some Cat Stevens (or Yuffum Ismael or something like that as he is nowadays called…sorry, I can never get it right). Especially “Oh very young” is ringing in my head all the time.

Where's Neon Bible in that? I haven't heard it yet, but I'm playing it now.Funeral is a grower, most certainly. When I first played it, my first thought was they got better with age. Now it's “impossible to beat that”.

I’d be surprised if AF ever do anything better than Funeral. It’s a stunning album. They’ve been getting progressively less good since then, though still head and shoulders above most other bands around.

Can buy me love! Please consider supporting the Beatles Bible on Amazon
Or buy my paperback/ebook! Riding So High – The Beatles and Drugs

Don't miss The Bowie Bible – now live!

Funeral is their best, although I have Suburbs before Neon Bible. What do you dislike about the Suburbs?

Neon Bible has some fantastic songs on it (I'm not sure if there's a thudding heartbeat sound effect at the end of (Antichrist Television Blues) or not), but it isn't nearly as strong as Funeral. Funeral is the only album I've heard which I've really liked every song on, but Neon Bible has some relatively weak songs (the middle), and is too bombastic at times. There isn't enough of Regine.

Hmmm, let's see…

 

1.- The Beach Boys . I often hear The SMiLE album of Purple Chick, probably their best album, albeit unreleased, and they got very close of beating The Beatles with this one.

 

2.- Queen. I have heard the last album with Freddie in Earth (Innuendo) and among other songs. They were really a powerful band, but slightly far from The Beatles.

 

3.- ABBA. Almost all their singles. They were an amazing band, their songs were great (at least the singles).

 

There might be more bands, but those are the top three.

Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to...Strawberry Fields.

Foster the People. I've been listening to Pumped up Kicks all night, just because it's that crazy good. Hoping to get my hands on the album Torches soon.

 

Edit: Also forgot about Mumford and Sons. Love Awake My Soul the most.

Once again, another of my my brother’s tastes rolling into my taste. Pumped Up Kicks is so bloody good. Oh, and kinda off-topic; Anybody who actually knows, is the fact that The Strokes are putting a song in the FIFA 2012 game embarrassing of smart?

I love the song Pumped Up Kicks. Their other song Helena Beat is really good too. I should listen to their whole album.

I've been getting into the Arctic Monkeys. This band kicks ass I swear. 

Well we all shine on like the moon, the stars, and the sun.

Smart. FIFA games always have amazing soundtracks.

They're amazing. Try and get your hands on Favourite Worst Nightmares, it's their best album IMO.

I always wonder. Sometimes (over here that is) it’s viewed as cheap and useless, or viewed as smart promotion. Thanks.
Oh, and MND, I’ll echo Mumford. The last 3 songs are equal to the best ending trio ever, anybody. Even Pepper.

God , Ali, you stole my post…guess we have the same favorite bands!  heart
