The Underrated Artists Thread
You can add Mercury Rev to my list above. Jonathan Donahue's voice may not be to everyones liking but Mercury Rev do make some beautiful innovative music IMO.

Favorite actor/actress?(s)
Favourite Actress - Chinese actress and singer Zhao Wei, the only actor/actress who can reduce me to tears. Plus she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I WISH I COULD MARRY HER, BUT IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!! Favourite Actor - Jensen Ackles. Don't ask me why, there's just something about him.

Which is your favorite TV show?
I love 24, The Shield, Battlestar Galactica (remake), CSI: Miami and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. US television is SO superior to the crap we have to put up with here in the UK.

What are the worst singers/bands ever??
EXCELLENT!!! A question on this forum that I didn't have to think about the answer to. It's very obvious that the answer is... The Glorified Karaoke Singer AKA Robbie Williams (he will forever be Gary Barlows tubby backing vocalist to me. I don't know how this guy still has a record deal. Who the Hell buys his records anyway?) If you're a Robbie fan, please don't be offended by my post, but I just think he SUCKS!!!

your dream band
If Johnny Greenwood left Radiohead to join Muse, that would be MEGA. Can you imagine both Johnny and Matt Bellamy playing guitar on the same track?

The Underrated Artists Thread
I thought I'd start this thread to allow people to give a mention to Acts, past or present whom they feel have never received the credit they deserve. For me these artists include: 1. Mazzy Star - I think Hope Sandoval has one of the most beautiful, haunting voices I have ever heard. Check out the album "So Tonight That I Might See" to hear what I mean. 2. Neva Dinova - If there has been a song more beautiful than "Did You Disappoint Your God?" recorded by any other artist, I have yet to hear it. That's it for now but I'm sure there are many others deserving of a mention.

Worst coldplay song
I don't want to use the phrase "worst Coldplay song" but I have never like Don't Panic. It's just SO ordinary!!! In fact I can't remember the last time I heard it because when I listen to Parachutes I always skip it.

What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
At this very moment I'm listening to "The Man Who Told Everything" by Doves from the album Lost Souls. I'm not a huge Doves fan but I love this track!

McFly are better than Coldplay
When I noticed the title of this thread, I was like "what the f*@k". But having read the posts I now realise it was just a big joke. Well done Lolly Pop you really had me going for a moment!

coldplay vs radiohead
I've never understood the Radiohead - Coldplay comparisons. The two bands have completely different sounds in my opinion. However in the who's better debate, it's pretty obvious that Radiohead are the superior act. Coldplay have a tried and tested formula which so far in their career they haven't strayed away from, which is why all three albums so far, sound very similar. Radiohead on the other hand have proven themselves to be a much more versatile group musically. All their albums are very distinct, with the possible exception of Kid A and Amnesiac which were recorded at the same time; but even these two albums, to me are quite different. As much as I like Coldplay, I don't think anything they have done to date, can compare to OK Computer and The Bends which are the two greatest albums ever recorded IMO. Please feel free to disagree with me.

iTunes Sucks
I used to think itunes was kinda cool but know I realise that it in fact SUCKS. If you're stuck in the UK like me, you can't download any tunes from the US itunes store. This wouldn't be a problem if all the various itunes stores around the world had the same music to choose from but this isn't the case. Mackabella's self-titled album is only available from the US itunes store so I can't f*@cking download a track off it that I really love. I've been searching for this album for months here in the Uk without success. If anyone here can help me to download the song "The Way You Are" by Mackabella or knows anywhere in the UK that sells the album, I will be your best friend. Iain AKA Hero xxx

FAVOURITE Coldplay Song FINAL!!
Personally, I haven't submitted a vote in this poll because my favourite Coldplay track isn't included. How can "High Speed" from Parachutes not be in there? In my opinion it's there best song and I can listen to it whatever mood I'm in.

If you could take music by only 2 groups to a desert Island
Whoever started this thread has certainly asked a very difficult question. After a lot of deliberation I've just about settled on Radiohead and Muse. So Coldplay and Neva Dinova miss out, but only just.

Hero Says, Hi!
Although I've visited this forum before, I've only just registered so I thought I'd say, "Hi everyone nice to meet you all".
