i like this thread. it has made me do this -->

 

[rekil]

Pearl Jam - basically MOR stadium rock band in 'alternative' clothing.

The of grunge in fact.

 

[Paulaviki]

Best album - C-Mon & Kypski's "Where The Wild Things Are"

Best gig - Doomtree Blowout in Minneapolis. Best show I've ever been to ever.

Best festival - Scribble Jam in Ohio. Awesome.

Ah well at least someone actually understood the point of this thread.

Matt Cameron

 

[MooChild]

I like Pearl Jam, well, the first few albums.

Preferred Mother Love Bone, and Temple of the Dog was great too, though, i have to admit, it's more down to the memories of the time for which they were the musical background, than the music itself.

Matt Cameron on drums. Ex-Soundgarden.



edit: ok, the rev got there before me

Pearl Jam sound like Hootie and The Blowfish.

I've always thought that like INXS, it was a case of good singer, utterly useless band. Can anyone name any members apart from Mr.Vedder? I can't.

I dont like Pearl Jam, but they are hardly useless as a band, Mike McCready is a great guitarist.

Oh and Neil Young thinks they are a great band. And he knows more than you.

Haven't they had several different drummers, though?

I used to like the Crazy Horse stuff but no he's shit. A Reaganite shit to boot.

To Vedder's credit, he hasn't turned into a Bono type character.

I wish to withdraw that statement.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Yeah but he's their current sticksman.

well best club for me has to be the Jan 2006 DMZ when it got moved mid night from the small room at the side to the main club in st mathews church..

Best gig? Bromheads at the Tin Pan Alley Festival, or Vince Vincent and the Villains at the Old blue last, or Seeing JME and Skepta and D double down the 333....

Best Album? erm... er...

 

[maya]

hmmm. i'm still not "feeling" the Burial album...

i mean...it's decent enough, well-produced etc...and it's got all the ingredients that normally make me wet myself (err, metaphorically speaking ) in sound-junkie bliss, b-but...something's missing, i don't know what it is, but- at least for me- it feels a bit superficial somehow...but i hope it'll grow on me, perhaps i just need time...

 

[chriswill]

Pearl jam came out not crap if I remember rightly?

Me neither - it's "Ok", I suppose.

My biggest disappointment from my purchases/downloads from the "Urban best of 2006" list was by far and away Kode9 and Space ape.

Like a dull dubstep version of that bloke out of Faithless. Turgid, dull, formless droning with no flow or life.

Bleurgh.

I love Beirut. Gulag Orkester has been keeping me happy this last month .

That and Bonnie Prince Billy - "The Letting Go" are probably my favourite albums of the year.

I Don't go clubbing in Dubai - they are all turd.

Don't really get any gigs in Dubai either - I was unfortunate enough to be inflicted with the sounds of Sean Paul playing in the venue next door to our apartment.

Other than that, the only gig I have been to this year has been a Hugh Cornwall unplugged set. Which was nice.

 

[maya]

?!

...Sean Paul? ...In Dubai??? -you got to be joking...

(sorry, not to be predjudiced or anything, but it just sounded like an anachronism somehow!)

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Pearl Jam?
I would rather eat actual pearl jam. Made from pearls.

Yes!

I even posted a thread proclaiming my dismay.

 

[ohmyliver]

re: the burial album... I've not actually heard it... allthough its interesting that hes outside the southlondon croyden to brixton axis of dubstep.... however Benga's album (the first dubstep solo album?) is very good....

 

[Iam]

Ok, so my favourite albums of '06 are (probably) as follows...

Guitars: This Is Satire by None More Black
No guitars: Creative Commerce by Cadence

The no guitars record would have been Decomposition by Decompoze, but it's been pulled and put back to this month.

Gig was probably Tiger Army in Bristol supported by the Caravans, but followed by the Cramps @ the Astoria and George Clinton @ Manchester Academy.

woebot tv

slightly late but this is a fairly hilarious round up of 2006 from music blogger Mr Woebot himself. Dunno how he finds the time to do this> Woebot TV

It's a kind of antidote to all those dumb list progs on tv, one man's view, check the dancing!
