Despite the flack he gets that he may or may not deserve, he really is the king of pop.

I've written two 5 stars. I had a third, but it was my first review ever and when I looked back it seemed so biased I couldn't believe what I had done.

Was that Seether? I was looking at that the other day.

[Shadows]

Was that Seether? I was looking at that the other day.
Yes. To this day I feel the shame of it. I don't even really listen to them anymore. :(

[Dave de Sylvia]

I saw Seether live a couple of years ago; I thought they were godawful.

[Storm In A Teacup]

This is absolutely wonderful, I log on to turn my JeW review in and what to I see? A third review for it on the front page! Mines a lot longer though, I don't know when to turn it in now. :confused: What do I do? :angry:

[masada]

lyk, pop iznt music hahahaz!!!!!!! y is ther a review for tis???????????????

God, I hate Sputnik.

[Shadows]

Sputnik is great, but the users are dragging it down.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm not one of those users am I? :-/

[Neoteric]

lyk, pop iznt music hahahaz!!!!!!! y is ther a review for tis???????????????

God, I hate Sputnik.
Sputnik has went down in quality I think since the burst of new reviewers but is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Anyway, I got a new MSN address :D holy_wars_thepunishmentdue@hotmail.com

[Shadows]

I'm not one of those users am I? :-/
No. I mean people who are blatantly spamming and trolling.

[masada]

Whenever things start to progress and get better on the site, it's always brought down after awhile.

I saw Walk the Line today. It was probably a 3 - 3.5

[Storm In A Teacup]

About how long is is Eliminator?


What does anybody think of a review for Green Day-International Supervideos?

I might just do that. Something never reviewed that is by Green Day, wow.

[Shadows]

They have an album/DVD called Supervideos? That must be an entertaining watch/listen.

[Jom]

Sputnik is great, but the users are dragging it down.

One, two, three (here I come with the wicked).

[Jawaharal]

kripes got pwn3d in his review

when do I get unbanned? Its been 4 days over now :upset:

[Shadows]

Who pwned him? :confused:

The people bitching about how there were too many reviews of that album?

[Jom]

I haven't been to Sputnikmusic yet. Please tell me that nothing terrible is going on there again.

[pulseczar]

no, Kripes simply submitted a review like yours (Jom), and SF and I said we didn't like it. That is all.

[Jom]

no, Kripes simply submitted a review like yours (Jom), and SF and I said we didn't like it. That is all.

Ah, alright. I don't see what the issue is, then. Lots of people don't like my reviews, either, so I don't see what this verbatim-quoted "pwnage" talk is all about.

[Shadows]

I get a lot of negative talk too, but mine was a huge three-post rant.

[Toaster]

Hah, no one even pays enough attention to my reviews to rant on them.

Not that I'm shamelessly asking for a pity vote or anything. Honest. :)

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ah, alright. I don't see what the issue is, then. Lots of people don't like my reviews, either, so I don't see what this verbatim-quoted "pwnage" talk is all about.
I think your reviews are even worse than your posts, Jommy :)

j/ksiez

I guess I'll have a read of Kripes' review then.

[Jom]

I think your reviews are even worse than your posts, Jommy :)

Yeah dude, that 99% approval rating seems awfully inflated.

j/ksiez

Uh, whoops :o

[Dave de Sylvia]

hahaha

Sputnik sucks tonight. 2 negative votes for Kripes' and 3 negative votes within minutes for a Sing The Sorrow review which was still being formatted. The place never used to be this gay.

Sputnikmusic has moved in an oscillating matter over the past few months. We're approaching its one-year anniversary since its inception, and it's constantly rode a wave of good/bad/good/bad. The amplitude of the waves also varies greatly.

For what it's worth, I think Med and Damrod are doing the best job that they can given the circumstances on Sputnikmusic. But it's tough to only have two people plus a number of regulars to try to restore order when the idiots outnumber us. The best we can do as regs is to just try to continue to exemplify the characteristics of what it is to be a good contributor, and just hope that people fall in line.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Maybe it's time to add a third mod?

Jom, Spat, or Shadows I would say.

To bad Bartender is gone and Bread doesn't care about Sputnik anymore. :(

[Shadows]

You shouldn't be, since you weren't malicious.
Thanks, I'm glad you saw I wasn't trying to be. I'm sorry if I offended you Kripes, that wasn't my intent.

I think it might not hurt to have a third mod. There are regulars around here who spend more time here then the mods. Obviously the mods have lives outside of mx, so I'm not trying to fault them, but problems tend to get out of hand while they're away. Thanks for the nomination Kripes. :)

welcome :thumb:

Med was on here a little as well as Damrod, but as Dam said he had a place to go with bandmates and crud like that, so in essence it is rather silly to not have a third mod. It would definitely not be overboard.

I wasn't offended, your comment, though most critisizing, was the least offensive to me compared to others that said it sucked.

[Shadows]

I understand how frustrating it can be when people say your review sucked and give no reason, or when they bitch about pointless details (such as there being too many reviews for one album).

I think an American mod would help. Med and Damrod are in close areas, and both European, so consequently they're both sleeping or away while mx is getting the most action.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Same thing I was thinking, so then that just leaves Shadows and Spat for nomination since Jom lives in Greenland or Iceland at the moment.

[Toaster]

:eek: There are only two mods on Sputnik?? I never knew this. Damn, they must have their hands full.

[pulseczar]

we need a North American mod, while Med and Damrod are sleeping, havoc is wreaking. Jom would be good, because he's always schooling everyone.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I would know from experience. :rolleyes: :-/

Yeah, if it comes down to one choice he would be it I guess, sorry Shadows. He just seems to be on here more than you are.

[Shadows]

Yes, there are only two. A North American mod would definitely help.

Hehehe, I seriously doubt he's here more than me, but I think he deserves it more than I would. He's much more helpful.

Wow, it's as if I'm drunk, though I am heavily medicated on steriods right now so that's my excuse for that mix up. :lol:

So, who to decide? Spat or Shadows?

[Shadows]

It's all up to the mods and mx/DBJ. We think another mod would be useful, but if Med and Damrod don't, then we won't get another mod. We'll just have to take our request to them.

Does Spat even know we're saying he would be modable?

[Storm In A Teacup]

I doubt it, I have found some cool new avatars I wanna try out.

[pulseczar]

Spat lives in Ireland I think, we need a mod on this side of the pond.

[Shadows]

I thought Spat was European. After all, his location is written in Euros.

[Jom]

Uh, I don't live in Greenland. Or Iceland. I currently reside at:

EDIT part deux: I don't understand the mod discussion. Adding another one isn't going to sway Sputnikmusic to become better all of a sudden. Just like MX, it has its ups and downs. The regs just ride it out.

[Shadows]

I believe you. You don't have to defend yourself. :p

Anyways, damn he does live in Europe, Ireland, whatever it is.

You're my nomination again! :chug:



Well dayumm, my rep is now -46 and apparently it's cause of that comment about getting my Hawthorne Heights review tagged over BTBP's. I was only kidding, BTBP is actually pretty cool, he's my friend on myspace so I never expected for anyone to take that request seriously. It was Jom wasn't it who ext. negged me wasn't it. :upset:

Sweet, glad to know I've got a backing. Modding would be cool, especially for a place like sputnik.

EDIT: i was kidding, i'd be a mod before you though kripes

kidding

shadows would get my vote, or jom

[Storm In A Teacup]

Shadows lives in Ohio and Jom is in America as well.

Umm...yeah, Plexi will be a mod again before you are Hoppus.

Actually he wouldn't be a bad choice really(JK), but nah, I'll stick with Shadows

mx does not seem to be so keen on apointing new Sputnik mods in the near future, sorry to disapoint you folks. :)

Use the brackets [], not (). The parentheticals are just for reference.

(b)Bolded text(/b) = Bolded Text

(i)Italicized text/Italicised text(/i) = Italicized text/Italicised text

(u)Underlined text(/b) = Underlined Text

(color=insertcolorname)Colored text(/color) = colored text

For example:

This sentence features the colors of ROY G. BIV.

Remember, use the brackets [], not the parentheticals.

There are a wide array of colors to use, by the way. Forty, I believe.

Life sucks balls sometimes. :(

It's almost end of month, and I have by far not enough money on my account to pay the rent :upset: This sucks so bad! I'll have to get some credit from my parents or whoever to pay the rent and buy me stuff to eat.

I hope the thing with the job works out fast, I need that money badly...

[/emo-kid rant]

[Dave de Sylvia]

That's a fusty walrus of a situation, Damrod :(

At least you can call on your parents for the money. Do you pay for everything yourself or do they give you money each month?

NP: Beastie Boys - Hold it Now, Hit It

[Damrod]

Here in Germany we have something calloed 'child's money', parents get it granted for support on their kids (for those that don't know what it is). As I'm officialy still a student, my mom gets the 150 bucks for me as well, and puts them on my account every month.

But apart from that, I pay for everything myself. Electricity, phone, internet, rent... I had no job for quite some time now, and the state is slow in working on my proposal for support. I lived of my savings for some time now, but they are almost drained.

Well, I will get it managed somehow. As soon as the new job kicks in, the worst is behind me.

listening to 'Breathe from Coma' by Hopesfall

[Jom]

Meh, that's rough, Damrod. Sorry to read about that. It's nice that your parents are able to help you out.

And I hope that new job (read: getting money) kicks in sooner than later :)

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, I guess it's hard to get a job in Germany these days :-\ Glad the worst of it is over :)

[Damrod]

Yeah, I have the job at the anatomy institute safe, it's just working out the paper stuff. I went to the responsible human resources department to give them the application (which was one sheet of DIN A4 paper) and they handed me a form consisting of eleven pages to fill out :upset:

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well, I feel bad for ya Dammy, but it seems you'll be fine.

Hoppus, I would also like to help ya out if you want me to.

Listening to-Gogol Bordello-Start Wearing Purple-no one knows who that is I bet :)

[innerdark]

remind me to ask how many forms i'll have to fill in BEFORE i hand in an application


but seriously Damrod, hope you get money soon

i'll bet u that i do

RE-RE-EDIT: i'm actually considering putting my ff review in because i've got a really good feeling about it, it's looking better than my blink 182 review

[Storm In A Teacup]

mx always said that it was an extension of the old CD Reviews forum, really...adding the online users reflects the activity of two sites that are really two halves of the same thing, if that makes sense. I was surprised by how much traffic sputnik gets though.


Mx is the most popular, everyone who is a musician and a teenager in Tulsa knows about it, then a few know about the cd reviews, but no one cares about the forums really. I don't either, kinda boring if you ask me.

[Jom]

[N]o one cares about the forums really. I don't either, kinda boring if you ask me.

I'm going to be honest: I don't think you've been here long enough to find out how much fun the forums can be. I've been here for years, and it's still ridiculously fun.

In short: MX is as fun as you make it, so long as you obey the rules.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I don't like it cause it's so mind boggling big to me. Some people probably like it big and don't even think it is big though. I can get around in Musician Forums, but when I post something like in the R&M thread, it seems like right after my post another 10 have been added after it in a minute.

I just prefer a smaller tight-knit forum like here on Sputnik where I don't feel lost.

[innerdark]

Nobody here actually goes through the entire forum. That is a lot. Most of us just pick certain forums to frequent. Myself, for example. I only come here, R&M, and occasionally the pit.

I'm sorry Damrod, I forsee myself in the same situation in a year or two. :( Damn musicians, never getting a high-paying job...

[Storm In A Teacup]

Yeah, but are you even in a band Shadows?

[Shadows]

No, what does that have to do with anything?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well, will you be playing in bars by yourself then if you aren't in a band?

[Toaster]

Mx is the most popular, everyone who is a musician and a teenager in Tulsa knows about it, then a few know about the cd reviews, but no one cares about the forums really. I don't either, kinda boring if you ask me.

I used to think that too. The forums are made for discussion though, unlike the reviews. You can debate and get opinions on things, discuss albums/bands and get information and recomendations.. I think the forums are much more interactive, and much more fun.

[Shadows]

Well, will you be playing in bars by yourself then if you aren't in a band?
No. There are other jobs in music besides playing in bands though, which is what I'll most likely end up doing.

[Storm In A Teacup]

That's cool.


Holly ****! My Mom just told me she's buying my bro a $400 Xbox 360 and some games. She said to make up a list of stuff I want that would add up to an equal amount! Damn, I'm gonna have to make up a big list of cds. It's like a dream come true. :) :) :) :)

[Shadows]

Woah, that sucks. Xboxes are for fools and fools only.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Hey, I like xbox, but I don't play it to much, just Fable and Morrowind.

Anyway, I don't know why you would say that sucks, I'm making a list of cd's I want that would total $500 or more. :confused: That means over at least 25 to even 50 cds if my parents buy them at our used cd store in Tulsa.

[Toaster]

! Your parents are buying you every cd on your list?? You must be an only child. :p

My parents flipped out at my list. I'm unlikely to get any cds now. :(

I asked my parents for one single gift totalling $150 and they said we couldn't afford it. :(

Hehe, lol, that's funny.

You must not have read the above comment. I do have one brother who is 13 and his life is video games.:upset:

Damn, you come from a ****ing rich family.

I asked my parents for one single gift totalling $150 and they said we couldn't afford it. :(

Were not rich at all actually, last year my dad made less than $40,000 and an income is never guaranteed for my family. This year though November is a really good month for my dad's buiseness. I think he's going to end up making over $60,000 this year which is pretty much double from last year.

[Shadows]

I don't know what I want for Xmas now other then random guitar things. I'll most likely let them decide, since any CD I ask for they won't find in a store.

[pulseczar]

I want a Big Muff Pi for christmas! even though I'm an atheist!

[Toaster]

The only thing I asked for was a couple of albums, but I got denied. So now I have to compromise, I'll just get some crappy guitar picks and strings. It really sucks, 'cause I have no other way of getting these albums. I really want a credit card.

What's the double entendre behind that name? (Big Muff)

[pulseczar]

I have no idea, it's hands down the greatest fuzz box of all time, and quite big, so that may explain the "big muff".

[Jom]

I didn't ask for anything for my birthday, yet my parents still got me something. The same applies for the upcoming holiday, I'd imagine. My mom gets her shopping done before Thanksgiving (:eek:) because she's really smart/really freakin' insane.

The one thing I do need is a new hoodie. Yeah, you can say that's a lame gift, but one can NEVER have enough hoodies during the colder seasons :)

[Shadows]

HOLY ****, MY ARSIS REVIEW WAS POSTED ON THEIR OFFICIAL SITE. :eek:

Congratulations, man :chug:

Thanks, I couldn't believe it. Considering how many reviews they have, mine is near the top, which is cool. Joe (Arucard) AIMed me and told me about it. Pretty awesome methinks. :) Everyone use that link and Ctrl+f for "sputnikmusic".

Hahaha, aren't they supposed to get the author's permission when they do that?

Congrats SF :)

I haven't asked for any birthdays or Christmas for years. I was a very emoasanadjctive child.

[Shadows]

:mad: I shall stab him.

:p Anyhoo, thanks a lot everyone, this was quite a shock. A good one, at that. It's things like this that really motivate one to write reviews. :)

Wow, thanks cheeto, it's great to hear such kind words.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Seriously though, congrats Shadows.

[Jawaharal]

Yessss, Unbanned!!!

[Storm In A Teacup]

I have a confession to make...



...I'm still in love with Coheed and Cambria's Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV-From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness.

I've been reluctant to check most of their stuff out, but I might finally pick this up and some of their others when I go to Borders.

I think Good Apollo is honestly their best yet, it is their true masterpiece.

I know some people here will argue with that though, such as Damrod.

Man, that is cool. I can't believe you've actually talked to the guy!! Like AIM style. You deserve it for your dedication to the band. :thumb:

[Shadows]

Man, that is cool. I can't believe you've actually talked to the guy!! Like AIM style. You deserve it for your dedication to the band. :thumb:
Yep. I've talked with the drummer (Mike Van Dyne) for quite some time over the board. That's how I always get the most recent band updates from the most reliable source.

Thanks a lot. It feels to good to say that I've been a true fanboy from the very beginning. :)

Thats really cool.

I've never talked to any celebs on the interwebz :(

[pulseczar]

I met Billy Corgan :cool: and I've met the members of alexisonfire 3 times now (even though I don't like their music)

[Killtacular]

...I'm still in love with Coheed and Cambria's Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV-From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness.
I don't get it. That's a very meh album, for me. Some songs (like Welcome Home) are amazing, but most just seem meh.

3/5

[Toaster]

I met Billy Corgan :cool: and I've met the members of alexisonfire 3 times now (even though I don't like their music)

I've met quite a few famous musicians, but as far as having a conversation.. it's never gone past "I love your music man."

[Jawaharal]

I met Billy Corgan :cool: and I've met the members of alexisonfire 3 times now (even though I don't like their music)
I met the lead singer of HIM :upset:

I know I should've shot him.

I've met one of the members of Shadows Fall and I almost (so close) met Alexi Laiho.

Almost doesn't count, buddy.

I bet you creamed yourself when you "almost" met him.

[Shadows]

Yep. \m/ We walked past a big group of people crowding around this short guy with long blonde hair. We walked and I noticed...it was Alexi! :eek: That was really exciting to see him in person for the first time.

no need to state the obvious

[Shadows]

Very well, but I choose to do it anyway.

I'm also the most insane Shadows Fall fanboy you'll ever meet. \m/ (><) \m/

[Toaster]

Woah now, I think once you get past 3 bands you're no longer a tr00 fanboy.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I don't think I've ever met a famous musician before, though my parents used to hangout with the band Kansas at a bar with their band.


/it's sad that's the best thing I have to say about that topic. :(

[Shadows]

That's okay, I'm only a tr00 fanboy of three bands. \m/ It's undisputed.

[Toaster]

They're not my favourite bands, but I'd say I'm only a fanboy of Opeth, Meshuggah and Nile.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Hey, somebody name me a random rock or metal cd and I'll put it on my Christmas list.

[Toaster]

5643 Song EP- Anal Cunt.

:lol:

[Shadows]

Anthrax - Fist Full of Metal

Indeed it was random.

[Storm In A Teacup]

5643 Song EP- Anal squirrel.
:amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze:




I think I'll go with Anthrax, so I take it that album is pretty good?

[Shadows]

I have no idea. You said name a random one, so I did.

By the way... (http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=weiner6bb.jpg)

Hey there, Sputnik Community thread regulars!

Our friend constant had the idea to start a Sputnik-User group on Last.fm/Audioscrobbler. I think it's a nice idea, as we have a MX group there as well. So be sure to hop over and join "The Sputnik Music Group" if you use Last.fm.

Here's the link: http://www.last.fm/group/The%20Sputnik%20Music%20FM%20Group%21

You are way ahead of me Dammy. I'll make a topic about it.

[Shadows]

I'm in. :) Y'all should feel special. I didn't join the R&M group but I'm in this one.

[Damrod]

I think it's cool you jumped up the band wagon :thumb:

More should follow though...

[/hint]

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm confused, whats last.fm or whatever it is?

Also, I can't get onto Sputnik./nevermind, I can. My cp is really slow today. It takes ten minutes to go from one screen to another.

[Shadows]

Last.fm is a program that tracks what you listen to on your computer. Every time you listen to a song it is recorded on your last.fm page and eventually you'll get lists like most played songs, most played artists, favorite genres, etc. You can also join groups.

Mx has been down for most of the day. :(

[Storm In A Teacup]

Oh, well I guess I can't do that then, whatever.

I feel like I'm dying. I've been sick for two weeks now and missed most of last week at school and the only two days this week. I feel miserable, coughing, headache, blowing my nose. I had a temp. of 103.3 at once, but now it's down to 101.0. I also am getting tired of waking up the last few days with this crust all in my eyes, I don't know what that is though. Plus, I had a sinus x-ray and you can see an infection in my head. I'm on steroids and all sorts of wonderful antibiotics. So yeah, feel free to laugh, I know you would anyway. :(

Wow, sorry to hear that. Hope you're ok. The only time I really get sick is when I get migranes. I used to have them monthly, but I just had my first one in years a couple days ago. They're bad though, it's like you can't think over this screaming agony in your head. :cool:

[Storm In A Teacup]

I've had a couple migranes before, my last one was about a month or two ago, that was when I vomited 9 times on my front lawn. I mentioned that before on the site I think.

[Shadows]

I used to get migraines all the time when I was younger. God, those things were the worst. :(

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrd

I broke my xbox, and that cured my urge to play video games. Of course I didn't break it on purpose, it was hard to cope with for a while :upset:

well I'm off to school *skips off*

[Damrod]

Skip the video games. They only kill time that could be sued much better. Take it from an old bum, I wasted far too much time in my teenage years with video games... :upset:

On another sidenote: My class are complete idiots. I mean, they are all around at least 20 years, and act as if they are twelve. I mean, is the age difference between them and me with three to four years so much? It's just so lame IMO that they chase each other around class, throwing things at each other and talking all the time during lessons, and then complaining when the don't understand what the teacher explains. :mad:

Slipknot are right: "People = Shiet" (at least that counts for my class)

[/rant]

Share your views about your class :)

[masada]

That is the exact thing you said to me on MSN.

This account should be unbanned on Sputnik today, yay.

Xbox 360 is a waste of money. I'm just stickin with me ol' xbox. I don't really play anymore anyways. Haven't bought a new game in a year.

For those interested:

As World AIDS Day (Dec 1) approaches, The drug company Bristol-Meyers Squibb built a website to help AIDS research. If you let the page load, you can chose to "light" a candle anywhere in the world. Just chose the place, and chose why you're lighting it. I decided to light mine for hope.

For every candle lit, they will donate $1 to AIDS research.

Now they are going to donate a minimum of $100,000 but- if we can get more candles than that lit, think of all the extra money that will be donated. At last count, there are 5,827 candles, a long way to go. Think how easy it is to give. Just a few clicks of the mouse, and you've helped fund a worthy cause, without ever having to leave your chair.

Give it a try.

I haven't gotten around to doing this yet, as I am still at odds with the desktop computer back home. But if this sort of thing matters to you, then by all means, go for it.

I was neg repped twice, the first one was deserved, but I don't think the second one was.

It will be worth it though.

OK, Sputnikvolk, I have a task for you all. I don't know if I can make this into a thread, but I will if people want.

Basically, I'm looking for ten songs from all of you. Not necessarily your ten favourite songs, just ten songs which give the best picture of your musical tastes. Basically, we can get an idea of other's people tastes and then go and check out that stuff for ourselves. It'll be fun. I'll put something up later, busy now.

Smashing Pumpkins-Drown
Pink Floyd-Dogs
The Beatles-You Never give me your Money
Manic Street Preachers-Die in the Summertime

Yeah, put it under Various Artists, just like all the other soundtracks are labeled under.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I figured it out though, but not before typing in Various Artists and almost turning it in that way. I had to type the long tracklist twice. :upset:

^ In no particular order. Late I know, but does it really matter? :)

Due to unforseen circumstances, I won't be able to review the three I had planeed today. They'll be put on hold until Saturday, but I may pass the time by reviewing other albums until then.

7. The Fall Of Troy-Tom Waits
8. Mono-A Thousand Paper Cranes
9. Dim Stars- Dim Stars Theme
10. Gwen Stefani- What You Waiting For

I tried to make it as diverse as possible

The crowning would be if I could access it, and Med not... ;)

I can not, just to give the answer before the question arises.

Since they stopped being any fun, as a result of growing older and realizing there's nothing to them.

[morrissey]

About half of your list is pure class and the other half is not good more or less but mostly less

[Dave de Sylvia]

which half justify your statistics

[morrissey]

The good half is good and the other half is not good

Here's something I did for one of those A/I threads back in the day. It's my lifelong playlist. And it's got FIFTEEN songs.

1. The Commitments - Mustang Sally
This is one of those childhood memories I have. My mom doing the cleaning while listening to music. Occasionally it would be David Wilcox or John Cougar, but nine times out of ten it was the Commitments soundtrack. Since this was the first track, it got a lot of spins. Best group to never be a group. It was my mom's music, but along with other "kid" songs I remember (Welcome to the Jungle, and the FYC's "She Drives Me Crazy) it has stayed with me to this day as one of my favourite songs, if not bands.

2. Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
This was my older brother's favourite band, and because of that I despised it about as much as I liked it. In front of him I would denounce them, but when he left the house I secretly absorbed their music. Wonderwall was more famous, Don't Look Back in Anger was better. Something about this time period (94-96) is probably the only reason I keep trying to find a reason to like Oasis now.

3. Spice Girls - Say You Will Be There
This is the first group that was mine. It wasn't my parents music, I wasn't something I listened to casually. Like most kids of my age (boys and girls alike, which is a pretty unique phenomenon), I feel in love with these girls. It's tough to pick just one song, but this was probably the one that stuck with me the most. These girls were the complete package - despite being average in so many ways. None of them were very good singers, none of them were great performers, but they came at the right place and time for me and started my love of music, pop music in particular.

4. Blink 182 - All The Small Things
Like so many kids my age, somehow I got into Blink 182. And then Sum 41, New Found Glory, Dashboard Confessional, Brand New and other similar bands. It's part of my music revolution, and I'm not ashamed of it at all. I spent a hell of a lot of time singing and playing along with their records. I singled out this song because it was their big single, the first thing that turned me on to the band.

5. The Beatles - Glass Onion
Everyone knows a few Beatles songs. Who hasn't heard Hey Jude or sung along to Yellow Submarine? I certainly had, but when the 1 collection came along in 2000, I bought it just like everyone. And I fell in love and spent about a year collecting all of their albums, and listening to next to nothing but the Beatles. I still liked Blink 182 and similar bands, but when I heard the Beatles a musical door opened. I singled out Glass Onion because it was the first song which amazed me lyrically. Which is quite funny, since the lyric is dead simple. But I loved it, and still do. The Beatles lead me to the solo careers, Wings, The Stones, The Kinks, The Who and eventually back the other way to Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, tons of Motown artists, on and on.

6. Ryan Adams - When the Stars Go Blue
This is an artist that doesn't really lead me anywhere. I like Wilco and Whiskeytown, but other than that I haven't picked up on his influences or similar artists. I just like him. Really tough to single out a song, I can't say why I picked this one. It was probably the first moment that Ryan's talent hit me. I don't really know. I love this song to death though.

7. The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out
This is it. The apex. The light at the end of the tunnel, the... ah whatever. When I first heard this song, I can't even explain the feeling. I had heard about the Smiths randomly from somewhere. I honestly can't recall, and I wish I could because it would result it a better story. But I heard of them (after never having heard their name mentioned before), I went to trusty Kazaa (jaysus) and downloaded a few tracks. Well I Wonder, How Soon is Now?, This Charming Man. Those three hit my like a ton of bricks. To this day I still can't explain why the Smiths affect me so much. But they do. Then I heard There is A Light That Never Goes Out, which I will defend to my dying day as one of the best songs of all time. For me personally, it is the best bar none. I have never had a lyric which I relate to so much. I have never had a lyric which I admire so much. The Smiths are my band. Sure, they're the patron band for thousands of other listeners. There is just some connection, I can't explain it. These guys are tops.

8. Morrissey - Suedehead
Where do you go from the Smiths? To Moz of course, only to be inevitably disappointed. But Suedehead showed that the guy had something going for him. Even if most of his catalogue sucks. I'm weird and I like Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted. Sort of. Can't say the same for Kill Uncle. But yeah, I like the guy's mediocrity far more than anyone should. But Suedehead is a world class pop song, no matter who it's coming from.

9. John Mayer - Covered in Rain

I don't really want to include this since it doesn't really lead to anywhere. I don't much like similar artists like Jason Mraz or Dave Matthews, nor am I a huge fan of SRV or similar blues stuff. But I like John Mayer. This song is just wicked, at least the live version on Any Given Thursday. This guy can play.
[b]

10. Pulp - Common People
This is a veritable anthem. Pulp are another one of those bands that don't have much going for them, yet they have everything right. Different Class is one of the best albums of all time, in my mind. Each track on it a perfect crafted pop gem telling of urban life. Common People is the clear highlight of the album, and the clear highlight of Pulp's career. This lead me to Blur, Suede and a few other bands from that era... I still think I like Pulp the most out of all the Britpop bands.

11. Joy Division - Atmosphere

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is the seminal JD song, but I like this one more. JD is a band I would never have been into five years ago. But somehow it happened, everyone was recommending them to me. So I check out a few songs. I didn't fall in love immediately, Joy Division isn't that kind of a band. I don't think I do or ever will "love" or even like their music. It isn't fun to listen to. It isn't enjoyable. But it's perfect for certain times, and though I don't think I can relate to what Curtis was going through, I can certainly sympathise.

12. New Order - Blue Monday
Joy Division leads to New Order. Which for some odd reason leads to Depeche Mode. Which leads to countless synth pop bands who don't quite measure up.
New Order were a great band. A lot of their songs are missing something, they're pretty average. But when New Order do it right, they do it right. Blue Monday is a perfect example.

13. The Streets - Empty Cans
This was my first taste of rap that I liked. I was never really a fan of mainstream rap acts like Eminem or Ja Rule. Sure the odd song was good, but it wasn't music meant for me, and I didn't connect with it or like it. I don't relate to Mike Skinner either, but he's such a great storyteller that it doesn't matter. Despite his first album's flaws (and there were many), it gave me a new angle on rap music. It was extremely tough to single out one song - Stay Positive could have just as easily occupied this space, as could countless others (which is great considering he only has two albums). Along with Kanye West and the Gorillaz (yeah I know), this opened me up to stuff like Del the Funkee Homosapien, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Eric B. & Rakim, Talib Kweli, Common etc. etc.. It only happened recently (late 2004, 2005), but I think it's going to continue and grow.

14. The Clash - London Calling
I got into the Clash late. Really, really late. Like 2005 late. But who cares, I've got all their albums and I'm here now. This is still the quintessential Clash song. The Clash lead me to the Sex Pistols, the Jam, the Buzzcocks and tied back in with other punk and post-punk bands like Television, Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, the Minutemen etc. I wish I had heard these guys earlier, but oh well.

15. Billy Bragg - Waiting for the Great Leap Forward
By and large one of the best lyricists I've ever come across. So many brilliant one-liners... not only does this guy give Bob Dylan or Morrissey a run their money, he surpasses them by miles. Too bad he never gets recognised for it. Hell, even I forget to add him to those favourite lyricists lists. Uh this song is awesome. Really, really awesome. Really. He's another artists I wish I could have been listening to for years, but you get what you get.
