I got a new MP3 player t'other day
so I've been looking for new music to chuck on it. No one was around to ask (plus you all listen to boring prog rock) so I just facestalked Applebite and stole some of the bands from her profile as we seem to have quite similar taste

So the few bands I have on my MP3 player are Emilie Autumn, Soundgarden, The Ting Tings, Nirvana and Lacuna Coil. Lacuna Coil and Soundgarden were thieved from Applebite, so far so good.

The Ting Tings were because I never listened to their album and I liked the couple they released. The album sucks.

Have at Monty, have at.

Hawkwind are technically prog rock.
Steve Hillage definitely. Also Gong.

Avoid Yes, ELP, Van der Graaf Generator, Asia, Genesis - in fact, most of it.

I found No, Virginia a massive disappointment.
There's a few good tracks- Night Reconnaissance, Dear Jenny, The Mouse and the Model - but I just couldn't get into it.

I didn't buy that one
because I heard it was shite. I have the other two and some of A is for Accident though. They're doing a reunion tour but only in the US, annoyingly, or I'd go - they were awesome live.

It's a B Side album. Never as good.
Though I do love NR, the video's funny as well.

I can't work out if I prefer the self titled one or Yes, Virginia..., they both have their moments and shit songs.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:12, Reply)

Overall Yes, Virginia is better
mainly because it has Delilah, which has to be one of the greatest songs of all time.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:16, Reply)

No, I'd have to disagree
The self titled one is better, with the exception of 672 which I don't think I've ever listened to all the way through - it irritates me so much that I've skipped it every single time.
(berk, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:19, Reply)

You can disagree all you like, you're still wrong
Yes, Virginia is a more cohesive album and although Dresden Dolls has some of their best songs (Coin Operated Boy, Jeep Song, Half Jack) as a whole the album is inconsistent.

So Nerrrrr.

It was horrible being in the Apple store though, being in contact with an extremely concentrated amount of douchebaggery. And Wiggy told me off for asking them if they had the 'AIDS red' one in stock.

EDIT: Oh yeah, re iTunes, it put all Wiggy's music on there, which is mostly shite, so there was a hell of a lot of shite to go through to reach my awesome music.

But Wiggy says I'm not allowed as I'll break it. He's already insured the iPod (and the new phone he got me, how spoiled am I?) against what he calls "Acts of Kitty", so I think that means accidental water damage, fire damage, any other damage, losing, breaking and dropping.

I find that their songs were never fantastic in the first place, lacklustre more often then not, and so to have them shoved down your throat just makes it worse.
