Rock and Roll

[Mr-Cricket]

Maybe it's just me, but in recent times, you seriously can't go past Coldplay's 'X&Y' Album.

So simple, yet so complete. Even now, I can't stop myself from listening to it. Just an amazing Album.

Some of Coldplays best:

- 'Yellow'
- 'Clocks' (My all time favourite song)
- 'Don't Panic'
- 'The Scientist'
- 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face'
- 'In My Place'
- 'Trouble'
- 'Politik'

And from 'X&Y':

- 'Speed of Sound'
- 'Talk'
- 'Fix You'
- 'White Shadows'
- 'The Hardest Part'
- 'What If'
- 'Swallowed In The Sea'
- 'Square One'
- 'Till Kingdom Come'
- 'A Message'

Seriously, thats like almost the entire album! And the bonus tracks aren't half bad either!

And if anyone likes what they're hearing, and demands more:

Download the live performances from 'Glastonbury 2005'.

Simply amazing. You wont regret it!

As I said before, by far the best band on the planet!

oh..one more really good Aussie band we forgot is SILVERCHAIR, but too bad its been a while ive actually heard them, so cant remember much,
Spawn Again
Emotion Sickness
Do you feel the Same
Dearest Helpless

were few of their good songs fm the album NEON BALLROOM.

too bad the weirdo Daniel Johnson left the band and formed a partnership with dance maestro Paul Mac. but then again, if u marry Natalie Imbruglie, u can afford to be wierdo.

[Bancan]

Green day Rules. American idiot is their second best album. i know that foo fighters lead was the drummer od nirvana, but atleast there i dun hav listen to him sing. i hav coldplay's album X & Y. its an awesome album. so theres a lot of good aussie band out there. i tried some of the songs u guys recommended. till now looks like Beatles isnt my type. any way keep posting.

Try "I've just seen a face".

[Bancan]

tried some songs of mettalica. they are really good.

[ammark]

Aussie bands?? AC/DC and INXS! Man that Need you Tonight, Devil Inside and Elegantly Wasted suff was going around in my head for tooo long!

Queen is AWESOME. Freddie Mercury lives forever... BanCan, It'd be a shame not to watch Wayne's World and Sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Another great british band of the past: Cream!!

How come no one's mentioned The Doors? And for 80s Punk: Billy Idol- White Wedding's a start.

If you're into 1990s alternative: Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Bush, and Pearl Jam had a lot of power in Ten! Foo Fighter's awesome: remember Monkey Wrench? 90's punk: The Goos when they started out!

glad to hear that mate.. atleast my effort didnt go in vain..

just let us know what else ud like to find out about..im sure i'll be more than happy to help u out...

[Rabz]

to Mr cricket , Mona or those live in Australia:
what do u think of WolfMother, End of Fashion, Gyroscope and The Dallas Crane( i think they also an aussie band, heard them live but not sure)??

[James90]

So much talent in Australia at the moment.

Wolfmother would have to be our best band but it's hard to go passed Augie March and Grinspoon.

I'm sure End of Fashion are good but I'm not particularly fond of them. Other bands people seem to like that I should probably investigate are Eskimo Joe and The Vines but there's so much other stuff I'd prefer to buy.

Jet have had the most mainstream overseas success but have disappeared recently, something The Living End never look like doing. Having said that I can't see them breaking the market abroad any time soon, which is a shame.

What's also a shame is the career of Silverchair; good band with ability and a few good songs but never put together a good album.

[Bancan]

anyone here play any instruments?

[James90]

Guitar, Piano and Vocals.

[Sorry]

tin tara, tobla and bashi.

[Bancan]

i think playin bashi is one of the hardest thing to do. james do u hav a band, or are u solo performer.

[Bancan]

i see a lot of aussie rock fan here. sydney or any other member u got an idea abt AC/DC pls tell me some of their good song's names. pls. pls pls

[Rabz]

Bancan mate, i was never too much into AC/DC but i can certainly recommend u few of thier songs. these songs r really good:

Highway to Hell
You Shoock me all night long
Back in Black
Thunderstruck
TNT
Long way to the top

all these songs r absolute classic. im sure u must hv heard few of them before, but just didnt know they were ACaDaCa's music.

Solo performer...just do the occasional recording. I was recently offered a place in a band but turned it down because I didn't think I was good enough and am busy enough with cricket. Even in the offseason. Still might turn up to a rehearsal and give my two cents worth.

[Mr-Cricket]

The Killers new single "When You Were Young" is out next month (great song)!

The new Album, "Sam's Town", is due in October.

Here are some good songs from their previous album 'Hot Fuss'.

For those not familiar with the band - the Synthesizers are amazing!

- 'Mr Brightside' (my favourite)
- 'On Top' (another great song)
- 'Somebody Told Me'
- 'Smile Like You Mean It'
- 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine'
- 'All These Things I've Done'

two of my favorite bands together
Green Day and U2

[khalifa]

Has anyone mentioned the Audioslave? I liked their slow numbers - Like a stone, I'm the highway (maybe it's not the title). They're tune is very melow, but at the same time powerful.
