Jetstream is an amazing song. Love it on first listen. Everyone seems to be going for a new sound which is great. Doves always move forward with every release anyway. Cannot wait for the album.

Muse- think Queen mixed with Radiohead, loud but emotional. Most amazing live band on the planet. Starlight is my personal fav but that may be the most commercial track on the album. Keane- think David Bowie, Talking Heads, Human League, Talk Talk making an album together today. The 80's in the 00's. Better Than This is my fav here. Jon Hopkins- think ambient rave mixed with sonic shoegaze sounds. Eno, Seefeel, Spacemen 3, MBV. The new album Insides only available on Itunes for now is his best album. Light Through the Veins is best track. Coldplay fans will recognise this. All good albums in very different ways. Hope you chose well...:)

At the moment it would be Slowdive Deerhunter The Secret Machines Ulrich Schnauss Kyte. This will change daily depending on my listening mood.

Too many to name just one Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon My Bloody Valentine-Loveless Lou Reed-Transformer Kraftwerk-Trans-Europe Express U2-The Joshua Tree This will probably change over time.

I think we are overdosed with reforming bands. My god we've even had My Bloody Valentine and Take That and even Led Zeppelin briefly. Every '80's band under the sun is back out there including recently Ultravox and not long back Yazoo. I think that is enough now, time for the new breed. I don't mean the X-Factor crap but bands of originality and passionate music. There has not been an original music movement for years now, not since dance/rave. We've had nu-everything, nu-metal, nu-prog, nu-rave, nu-gaze, where are the original bands that can start a new sound, blow us away with their radical sound like punk, rave, rock n roll all did when they first burst on the scene. Or has everything been done? What do you think?

The Album Leaf are an amazing band. Sort of like a bit more poppy/ambient Sigur Ros but very different as well. Worth checking out.

U2 or Muse.

Underrated Marillion The Leaves A-ha! Overrated Oasis Travis Sex Pistols

Keane-Better Than This

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon Sex Pistols-Never Mind the Bollocks Public Image Ltd-Metal Box Kraftwerk-Trans Europe Express Silver Apples-Silver Apples U2-Joshua Tree Radiohead-OK Computer My Bloody Valentine-Loveless Gary Numan-Replicas The Cure-Faith I do not think any of Coldplay's albums define music at the moment. Maybe at some point in the future. I think they are influenced by the defining albums but not yet legends.

I love this band. They should be huge.

Verve-The Sonnet U2-Beautiful Day Killers-Mr Brightside Embrace-Nature's Law U2-Where the Streets Have No Name Keane-A Bad Dream Radiohead-Nude Sigur Ros-Festival Coldplay-The Scientist Keane-We Might As Well Be Strangers

Downloading now. An amazing band, very underated. Both albums so far have been incredible.

After first albums I would have said Interpol by far, and the Interpol second album, but then came Editors new album. Blows Interpol off the face of the planet, nearly every song a classic. Interpol have stayed still but Editors have moved into another sphere with the big guns. I cannot wait to see them live.
