Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 8:24 PM BSTWrongy wrong wrong; artists with any self respect surely wouldn't be happy with their music being given out free with a paper. Not a brand new album anyway; maybe a little E.P. or a collection-but the whole of the brand new album you've just spent months or even years creating? I'm not a music Nazi, I just think it's very tacky to give away your new album with a newspaper. Obviously I'm not in McFly, so it's up to them, but I just think I'd feel like I'd died a little inside if I said Ok to something like that.
Disagree strongly.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 8:24 PM BSTAnyway-what right have you got to talk about modern music Aaron?!
Didn't say modern, did I? In any case, this McFly album may be new, but that kind of poprock has barely changed since its conception, so can hardly be defined as modern.

Jevushta, Kaminada, Frankie Rage!
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 8:25 PM BSTYou really think he could name one modern pop band/singer-black or otherwise?!
McFly!
Quote: zooo @ July 20 2008, 8:40 PM BSTWhite Stripes are quite inventive.
Uh....
Have you not heard of any other blues-rock band?
I love them though.
Quote: zooo @ July 20 2008, 8:40 PM BSTWhite Stripes are quite inventive.
I would say so. Minimalist-punk-blues. Taking an old form and bringing it into the modern age. Course they've been around a while now, so it's strictly a bit old these days.
Quote: Winterlight @ July 20 2008, 8:40 PM BSTI like Arcade Fire, but I wouldn't say they pushed the boundaries. Indie folk rock just didn't get noticed that much until they came along.
If there is an equivalent to Arcade Fire who preceded them please name them. If there is I will be very happy because that means I have more gorgeous music to listen to!

Not many with only a guitarist and a drummer.

Your Nan is probably quite experimental and 'out there' in comparison to me.

I like pretty much every band you like! Apart from Glasvegas!
Quote: DaButt @ July 20 2008, 8:33 PM BSTI know several (somewhat) famous musicians and every one of them is more concerned about people hearing their music than the dollars and cents of the music industry. Certainly they want to make a living, but they still give away entire albums' worth of music on their websites because they're excited about it and want to share it with their fans.
A man of reason, finally.

The Stipes are certainly different to other plain old Blues Rock bands, they came at it from a different angle.
And they wear teh awesome clothes!

Get out.
