Personally I have to go for Midtown, they are brilliant pop/punk stuff, range of songs, clear development through their albums and well thought out, constructive songs

    I guess it all comes down to opinion, doesn't it.

    good call. i think pavements last release was 4 or 5 years ago, not sure about malkmus solo. i know that mark ibold is now the touring bassist/guitarist for sonic youth since jim o'rourke left.

    Steve Malkmus had some stuff out 4 or 5 years ago as well I think.

    The Scottish band Sons and Daughters aren't as famous and fabulously adored as they should be; though that might change pretty soon. I think they toured with Franz Ferdinand but they're a country mile better imo. You've got to love intense-punk-folk rock with idiosyncratic lyrics and almost incomprehensible accents :thumb:

    Also The Arrogant Worms, a Canadian comedy band who make me laugh until I start experiencing sharp pains. I feel like I must clue in everybody who isn't already in the know -- it's enough to cheer up even the crappest Monday morning:

    Oh Celine Dion, you soft-rock my world
    Won't you please be mine Celine.....
    I would do anything, if you'd be my girl
    Oh, be my girl Celine
    I sent you cards and letters, but you don't respond
    You play hard to get, but my heart goes on and on (and on and on, etc...)
    I just wanna say, je aimerez
    And i can see your house from my van


    ________

    Our love is like a video game
    That you play alot and then it gets lame
    Then a new one comes out that's better but the same
    Our love is like a video game

    Our love...

    Our love is like a surgical procedure
    It's painful and invasive, your insurance won't cover
    And when it's done you walk funny forever
    Our love is like a surgical procedure

    Our love is like a Meatloaf song
    It has its moments but it's way too long
    Like a bat outta hell it all goes wrong
    Our love is like a Meatloaf song

    Our love is like Keanu Reeves
    Who's made some really bad movies
    That's all time you can't retrieve
    Our love is like Keanu Reeves


    _________

    Baby I wanna tell you all my hopes and dreams and fears
    But I'm watching television, could you get me another beer
    There's wrestling and pro football on, I hope you understand
    I must watch it all for I am a man
    And a man has needs
    And a man has desires
    Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
    And a man he bleeds
    And a man he perspires
    'Til the stains show on his shirt

    I missed our anniverary and the birth of our son
    It was beyond my control, my team was on a playoff run
    Oh baby, baby, baby, you mean everything to me
    But could you move your butt, you're blocking the TV?
    And a man has needs
    And a man has desires
    Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
    And a man he bleeds
    And a man he does tire
    Gets sleepy and naps on the couch

    Oh baby, oh honey, oh darling, oh pudding, what are you doing with that suitcase? Leaving me? What do you mean we don't communicate? We're talking all the time. We're talk about-- Ooh! Monster trucks! That little Volkswagon ain't got no chance against The Cowcrusher! C'mon Cowcrusher, crush that little Volks-- you're gone. I hope she left me one of them pudding pops. They're tasty.

    And a man has needs
    And a man has desires
    Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
    And a man he bleeds
    And he shops at Canadian Tire
    And he always keeps his coupons
    And a man has needs
    And a man has desires
    Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
    And a man he bleeds
    And a man he expires
    And he cried when Wayne Gretzky retired

    The beatles.

    only joking.

    for me i dont think ELO or Dire Straits got the full respect that they deserve, ive listened to their cds constantly for years and years and i never get bored.

    Oooo I loved Dire Straits (romeo and juliet and tunnel of love in particular), not listened to them in ages. I only have their albums on record but don't have a record player. :crying:

    Anyone heard of a band called Fall Out Boy? Or Panic! At The Disco?

    I do believe they're both oh~so underrated...
