Hey! Another Eels fan! I think that makes 5 of us now. ;) Good list. Gorillaz are great too!

Sleepypete said...

I have 8 of those :-) Plus Demon Days from Gorillaz.

I have an idea for a future post now, although I'll wait a few days to led the idea grow ... (translation - it'll take a few days for me to figure out which albums to put in!)

Eels are great. I've liked them since I saw their video on MTV - the one where they float about in an ally...

I actually had about 20 or so I could have listed but thought I needed to stop @ 15 [grin]

This list reminds me that I have no idea how old you are.

CyberKitten said...

Care to guess Scott?

Is the list age 'confused'?

Scott said...

I wouldn't call it age confused, only that for some reason I had always assumed you were older than me (maybe mid-thirties?) and your list is mostly very recent. Or more recent than I would expect from somebody older than me.

I have (very) wide tastes in music. I enjoy Beethoven as well as Bon Jovi, Mozart as well as Mariyln Manson. But as you know my favourite period for music is the 1980's.

...and yes, I am somewhat older than you.

My wife's favorite music comes from the 80's as well. She's the only person I know who can say she's been to a "Boy George" concert.

Please try MUSE. My wife discovered them on Jools Holland and I enjoy them a great deal as well.

Well yes, I had believed this about you, and this is one of the reasons I thought you were older. However, only one of your albums is from the 80's, soooo......

I'm more of an 80's singles person - hence I have lots of compilations and best of's from the era. If I did a list of singles that rocked my world I'd think that a good 60+% would be from the 80's (or even the later 70's when punk hit the music scene over here.

I've listened to 8 of those. I recommended KT Tunstall to you when it came out. Can't remember if you'd heard it already or not since she hit on your side of the pond before she came here.

Cyberkitten is actually an immortal time-god from the Eterna Dimension of infinite loopage!!!!

I remember. I think I bought the CD on your recommendation. Thanks!

Unfortunately not - as much as I'd *like* to be immortal.... [grin]
