Stories from the city and stories from the sea, is that one album?
Ah, uni fees... it's nice when you have parents who pay for everything, allowing you to spend your student loan on CDs
Yep, it's one album, her most recent. (No 'and'
)

Heh, you don't have an "ö" for Björk. I think she is one of the few pop musicians who really does something innovative. I also like her lyrics.
Miles Davis is a great musician, I think no other jazz musician has managed to follow the development of music like he has. I like both his older and more recent stuff.
I know, it is embarrasing but i couldn't remember the ASCII code for it
And i was too lazy to look
He was truly great, the most innovative jazz musician, he just transcended any stereotyping with his innovation
The return of cool, personally it never went away

2)DJ Shadow Entroducing...need I go on?
3)Mr Scruff wow maybe me and Robnark can start up a clandestine tavern of SYM ninjatuners
Nowt wrong with Radiohead, they are one of the best bands of this generation, they could have stayed with "The Bends" formula but they decided to innovate, hats off to them for that
DJ Shadow rocks (or beats
) I prefer Preemptive Strike, but entroducing is cool, i especially like "Midnight" Can't wait for a new album, haven't got his Brain Freeze stuff, i did like his Unkle Project collaboration with James Lavell, that was excellent
@Tamerlane PJ Harvey's album is really good, i fully reccommend it

To bad i have a habit to listen to favourite bands untill im completly fed up with them, then there is no option but moving on to next.
@CE: should have guessed you liked Björk.

My faves are
1) The Chameleons
2) The Smiths
3) Killing Joke
I also like Charlie Parker, Dizzy, Art Blakey, John Coltraine, and Clifford Brown.
I went to see Sisters when I was 18. It was cool, we even got free back stage passes. Boy did we feel daft.

I think they were Finnish....
ha ha PS, did anyone see the headline on The Onion the day George Harrison died?........
RINGO NEXT
he he...anyway wow it seems there is more of a triphop following in here than first appearances would hve lead me to believe...maybe someone can organise a Metal vs Triphop thread for creative musical criticism and lovely stuff like that...actualy I think I'll go and do that now...
Radiohead, they are one of the best bands of this generation, they could have stayed with "The Bends" formula but they decided to innovate, hats off to them for that
I saw em at the 42,000 capacity outdoor gig in Oxford last September 7th.....best day of my life. (**** marriage
)
did like his Unkle Project collaboration with James Lavell
yeah, his stuff with UNKLE was cool...I dunno I didn't like Preemptive strike that much...
2. The Police 3. Radiohead
respect
@Frogus: I also like old skool hiphop, although I'm almost old enough to be your mother

Well after reading the replies, seems like nobody loves Celtics music like Enya than me
These were the stuff I listen to while I was studying :
Guns & Roses, Metallica, Kansas, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Level 42, Spandau Ballet.
@Sleepo : I listen to Miles too but not so often. I prefer light jazz
I hate Kenny G since his music are more into Pop nowadays than Jazz - But I still love to listen to his "SongBird" IIRC
<EDIT> I forget to add TOTO, so who listens them too ?

First off, I would like to thank Tamerlane for making me feel old by saying:
3. I grew up listening to Smashing Pumpkins so it was a shame when they broke up.
Grew up?? Sigh...
1) XTC
2) Midnight Oil
3) REM/Smithereens/Smiths/Sundays/Charlatans UK/Bob Mould/I'll stop before this gets too long

Some opf the freeform work can get a little tiresome, but generally i like everything Davis' did, he had a unique style, he also innovated, which IMO is one of the most important things that arists can do, if it doesn't work it doesn't matter, at least they tried

That reminds me of
Cassiopea used to love them.
As for innovations I recall one of The Rippingtons album titled "Welcome to St. James Club" - where they try to innovate certain stuff than their usual style, and they turn out really nice
