The only other one who comes to my mind is Bigger Stronger

Yes My Bloody Valentine

I'm so sorry, we are so many people in this community that I never remember who's a boy and who's a girl. My memory lacks (that's because I'm not so young anymore)

A Head Full Of Dreams (the song) "You can be the change you want to, be what you want to be" This goes in contradiction with "We Never Change"

He means that people who usually try to defend CP's "newplay" outputs says that the band couldn't write happy songs in their earlier days. Obviously that's not true and LiT II is one of the proofs of this

It's always difficult to say how much great artists are involved in these issues. Sometimes people can think that they manage to have a gain by sending political messages. Said that, I'm not used to suspect on everything somebody does, so anybody's free to do whatever they want if it doesn't hurt other people. So that's why I think this article is rubbish

The Boxer Rebellion - Step Out Of The Car

No Everything Everything

Yes Cut Copy

Very sad to hear this. I wish you all the best :drinking:

Yeah Slowdive

Beach House

Let's Go Extinct - Fanfarlo

absolutely yes Vangelis

Helicopter - Bloc Party

Sufjan Stevens

If I am right, they put a microphone outside the studio during a recording session and recorded the noise coming from the street then they edited it

yes Interpol

A few years ago I would have said most of the things that have been said in this topic to try to explain why I prefer the first part of career of the band rather than the second one (rock to pop issue, mainstream and indie, past better than the present and all these quite useless things). But in the last times I naturally (I'm growing or, to say it it better, getting old) expanded my musical tastes to a large amount of different styles and genres or musical currents, so I find it very difficult to describe my favourite kind of music and I won't ever have the urge to say that I'm better than anyone else for the music I listen, I'm not that kind of person. I just want to express that I don't feel close to my heart the songs they're producing like it was back in the first decade of 2000s, I don't feel that sense of warmness, truth, self-deprecation, black optimism, spiritual depth, introspection, nostalgia and maturity anymore. Other than that, the fact that makes me so disappointed is that they lost their perfectionism: from MX to AHFOD (and I'm generally talking, they can still write some good songs) they failed almost every aspect related to music production, lyrical depth, song structure and arrangements fullness. I might disagree with the change of lifestyle and artists/bands they get inspired from, but these are personal decisions I don't have the permission to syndacate on, but they clearly reflect on the music they produce and that's why a lot of people who liked/loved their music now criticize them.

I would put Ghost Stories on the "I might listen to this later" line, on the rest I agree. In rankings: Parachutes - 89/100 A Rush Of Blood To The Head - 92/100 X&Y - 91/100 Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends - 90/100 Mylo Xyloto - 63/100 Ghost Stories - 74/100 A Head Full Of Dreams - 57/100

It's simple, they just need to take their worst songs and they're ok: 1) Princess Of China 2) Hymn For The Weekend 3) Viva La Vida 4) A Sky Full Of Stars

The XX

An End Has A Start - Editors

Equinoxe - Jean-Michel Jarre
