toddy Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I am bored of hearing that there is no good music nowadays. I think there is a lot of what I would call future classics around - what do posters listen to / rate as good new music in good old rock'n'roll tradition? My opinion: Great New Bands: Stereophonics (awesome live - loads of bluesy jamming etc) Coldplay Incubus Willy Mason The Goo Goo Dolls Great New Songs: 'California' by Phantom Planet 'Oxygen' by Willy Mason 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls 'Wish You Were Here' - Wyclef Jean's interpretation of the Pink Floyd classic Any of U2's new stuff Any of Motorhead's new stuff Just a start to get the ball rolling...

tutsiwarrior Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 when in Thailand where can one listen to new western popular music? In the west one only has to turn on the car radio to listen to recently released music...not so in Thailand, not in Suphanburi at least. There was one station broadcasting out of BKK but the music was rubbish. How does one listen to new western popular music in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls is at least 6 years old (it's from the City of Angels film). And the Stereophonics are quite old now. I do like Oxygen though by Willy Mason...nice song! And California is nice (you an O.C. fan?) But the 'hip' (and in most cases rocking) new bands at the moment (at least in the UK according to my friends) are (they all seem to start with the): The Thrills The Killers (quite heavy stuff) The Libertines The Kaiser Chiefs (I quite like them) Kasabian (sp? Sound a bit like the Roses with Shaun Ryder on vocals) The Scissor Sisters The Zutons Franz Ferdinand Keane (similar to Coldplay) Snow Patrol The Hives The Streets (English rap kind of ting) The Strokes The White Stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second all these recommendations. I'd also say: The Go!

Thomas_Merton Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Jack JohnsonNora Jones Ben Harper chilled out tunes for warm evenings on the beach <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is a brilliant choice. Nora Jones great composer and is constantly growing from the Jazz traditions of her birth. Jack Johnson is a modern poet, although I do find some of his arrangements a little too simple. Ben Harper is a revelation. A brilliant artist, mastering many traditions. He brings the integrity of Gospel to Rock. I listen a lot to Michael Franks when I am in LOS. A little older music perhaps, but grown out of the same traditions as Nora Jones. His arrangements are refreshing in their complexity as are his lyrics in subtlety and wit. As most of his stuff seems to have been written in the tropics, Michael Franks can create the perfect ambience for a lazy evening in LOS.

Thomas, thanks for the info re Michael Franks - I shall look out for something of his when I am next shopping Cheers TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with most of those. The others i either havent heard or heard of. Just bought the Kasabian album last night at KSR. Keane. Great band . My friend bought it for me for my birthday.

bkkmadness Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Yeah, agree with kenkannif's music, listened to the libertines earlier before went out. Ksabian a great band also, and spot on saying Ryders doing vocals, sounds so similar. Snow patrol <deleted>.cking good as well. all D/Loaded off winmx.

cdnvic Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I saw The Killers on Saturday Night Live a few weeks back and was quite impressed. Some recent work I've like has been by: The Tragically Hip Matthew Good Big Wreck Dave Matthews Band Cold Play Killing Heidi (Haven't heard them in a couple years tough) The Barenaked Ladies I'm just glad rock is once again having a bit of a resurgence. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg1953 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Tutswarrior, check out the Blues Factory in Pattaya. I spent quite a few nites there on my 1st trip to Pattaya and had a great time listening to Lam Morrison. All the good old stuff.....Clapton, Led Zep, etc....... a must stop in my opinion.

Nat Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The Killers (quite heavy stuff) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Love the lyrics to “Somebody told me”. Killing Heidi (Haven't heard them in a couple years tough) Killing Heidi are still alive and well. They released a new album late last year and performed at the tsunami benefit concert – believe they’ve got a few more concerts planned. I’d have to say one of the best rock bands of late would have to be Melbourne band Jet…love ‘em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Mee Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Rock & Roll is mostly dead as evidenced by a guy like Brue Springsteen who is making crap music these days. Only Neil Young is hanging in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpack_thailand Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) After going through their weird phase - Achtung Baby/Zoo etc. - U2's latest stuff is awesome! Stereophonics - probably the best UK band around at the moment... ...however, check the album "Get Born" by Jet, an Aussie band. I know it's about 18 months old now but it's just the best debut I've heard for years! It's a mix of Floyd meets Stones meets The Who meets Sgt.Pepper with a hint of grunge...wicked!
