yeah im much the same. i only have about 30 albums from the 70s but im familiar with alot of the classic rock songs from that era.

ok this is my thread so im going to bring an end to this. and there is a right and wrong answer. it just needs to be expressed properly. so im going to put my law school skills to the test here and see how i go. so whats your problem: half of us think that coldplay is the biggest band in the world and the other half of us think that theyre not most of the latter half think U2 is the biggest so how do we work out who is the biggest: is it the band who has sold more tickets in recent times? the band who has sold the most number of albums in recent times? a combination of the two? or is it the band that seems to dictate the most attention (google trends can solve that for us) so first we need to work out which criteria we should use to work out who is bigger. there seems to be a big emphasis on "now" who is bigger "now"? so i think we should stick to how the bands have done in the past 24 months (this makes it fair for both bands) can we agree that we look at their album sales, ticket sales and column inches? i seem to be the closest thing to an impartial judge on this so once we agree on a criteria i will take care of the number crunching.

Oi piss off!!! This is my thread!!! I deserve credit for bringing back the old WoM!!! I'm the reason this is all happening! Don't steal my thunder ok!! Cmon kiddies keep going with your sophisticated discussion.

the coldplay fans who are often criticising the band? or the coldplay fans who think coldplay is the be all and end all of music.

yeah im working half day on thursday. but tour news is always released early in the morning. if triple j is presenting the tour (will most probably the biggest tour the station has ever presented) then expect to hear the news during their breakfast show.

that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. there are close to 1000 acts playing at glastonbury this year and you didnt buy a ticket because of one band?

Speaking at the LMU University Hospital in Munich, Paul McGuinness has confirmed the postponement of 16 shows on the U2360° Tour from Salt Lake City on June 3rd, through to New Jersey's Meadowlands Stadium on July 19th. Tour Promoters Live Nation are now rescheduling those dates.

you cannot replace U2. actually only one band could and that is led zeppelin. jimmy page wont rule it out.

BONO is out for another 8 weeks at least they recorded a song specifically for that appearance. bono personally called michael eavis to break to him the news.

JUST CONFIRMED ON GLASTONBURY'S TWITTER PAGE. U2 HAVE CANCELLED THEIR APPEARANCE AT GLASTONBURY 2010.

last time i saw it at JB it was down to $15. but from my experience different stores tend to have different prices especially in different states. haha mate i really dont think she was asking about the gigs. but it is that time of year so i'll let you go on that.

^^ oh its nothing. i really enjoy doing it. now lets excited about the muse tour!! now im guessing that they will try and dodge the metallica tour which means they wont be playing sydney any time before november 15. the rumoured date was november 22 which seems reasonable as the crusty demons are at acer on the 27th.

^^ yeah just got a tweet from richard kingsmill saying the same thing. just what i needed another distraction from studying.

schedule out. here are some of my favourite set times the xx - day 1 - midnight to 1am flaming lips - day 2 - midnight to 2am lcd soundsystem - day 2 - 2am to 4am kid cudi - day 2 - 2 am to 2-45am deadmau5 - day 3 - 2-15 to 3-45am the disco biscuits - day 3 - 2-45am to 5-15am and they are showing world cup matches at the festival!! too cool

we're not talking about the beatles here are we..........:stunned: how can people not like at least something about them! like soft rock listen to rubber soul. like guitar rock listen to revolver. like weird as experimental shit listen to sgt peppers. want genuinely brilliant songwriting that makes chris martin sound like an illiterate fool listen to the white album. like a bit of avant garde interspersed with sensible pop listen to abbey road. they're not my favourite band but there is no doubting they made music what it is today. could people do me a favour? when you're listing your faves from the 60s could you please put next to it the year in which it was released. i have a weird fascination with the period of music between 1965 and 1970 and i want to hear more music from it.

3 to 4 weeks mate.

listened to both Demon Days and Plastic Beach last night. took me back to 2005 when i first heard Feel Good Inc, at the time it was near the top of the charts down here in aus and i just didnt get what people saw in this song. the vocals were weird and the music sounded quite stupid. but since it was a hit it was all over the radio so i heard it over and over again and i think it was after a good 30 or 40 listens that it finally clicked for me and i loved it. then Dare came out and became an instant personal fave as did Dirty Harry. now 5yrs later ive had the same experience with Plastic Beach, it took me a few listens to get used to the hip hop vibe but now i've grown to love it.

i have a massive plan to upload all of my bootlegs over my winter break. i've compiled a good 150 so far and im sure there's another 50 or so hanging around on some long lost hard drive. ive been planning to do this for a very long but keep putting it off.

not yet. but new single is out in the next two weeks. and there are claims we will have the full record by the end of july. it sounds reasonable.

recorded the powderfinger live at the wireless from the sydney BDO last night. a performance i will never forget. you guys will have to wait until mid-june for me to upload this recording. too much of a distraction to do right now.

i really havent heard enough music from the 60s to make a decent list. it really stops for me after the beatles, the stones, the who, hendrix, dylan, cream and the doors.

missed first half of champions league final. hate fucking 4-30am kick offs. but the second half so far has been fairly interesting. bayern hasnt given up

According to Australian radio station Triple J, the song will see a proper release "around 1 June", with the end of July as a "tentative [album] release date".Triple J claims that Nick Launay, who mixed Neon Bible, is producing, while engineer Markus Dravs and arranger/violinist Owen Pallett have both confirmed their involvement. More tantalisingly, the radio station claims Arcade Fire recorded and mixed about 38 songs for the record – raising the prospect of a double-album.

att: Aussie VW fans did anyone see the vw special on video hits this morning? they showed a special acoustic performance vampire weekend did in the channel 10 studios. i watched and recorded White Sky and Im Going Down (which i think is a bruce springsteen cover). according to the video hits website they performed A-punk also. i will try and upload the videos straight after my exams.

will update asap!
