Top 5, huh?
1:Old Smashing Pumpkins. (Gish.)
2:Failure. (In case anybody doesn't know them, they sang "Stuck on You" and "Pitiful" back in the mid-90's. That was the only radio play I'm aware they had.)
3:Underworld. (Techno band, but very diverse and VERY good.)
4:Nine Inch Nails.
5:Old R.E.M. (Life's Rich Pageant, Fables of the Reconstruction, and Document.)

| It's weird, if you go out on SoulSeek (into the indie chat room. I know, I'm a geek...), there seems to be a lot of Interpol hate out there. I don't get it. Sure, they've gotten a lot of hype, but it's not like they're the Strokes or something where they've been tagged as the saviours of rock (along with the White Stripes). Interpol made a really great record. And I hear one more person mention Joy Division, I might lose it. Also, don't mention pitchfork on SoulSeek. It's like mentioning you are casually affliated with a neo nazi group. They don't take too kindly to you. |

Sorry to have to be the first to tell you this but your bands name is really bad. Good luck though and hey The Beatles is a really bad name but they didn't do badly did they 
Then again The Pixies isn't a great name either  |

Can't believe i missed someone mentioning Stellastarr. How much of them have you heard ? I have only heard 'Somewhere across forever' and 'My Coco' but they are both excellent and i can see where the Pixies comparisons have been coming from, though they also remind me of Talking Heads (as is also being mentioned in the music press). Going to see them in Manchester on 20th of this month so i should get a better idea of what they are like then. They are also playing London Highbury Corner Garage on 21st and Glasgow King Tut's on 19th. Plus they suppost Ash at Edinburgh Corn Exchange on 18th. And if you can't catch them there then they are appearing at Reading/Leeds festival as well so check 'em out if you can.

1)Limblifter
2)Liz Phair (can't stand her new cd)
3)Indochine
4)Nada Surf
5)Northern Pikes (loved them since '87)
I don't get all the love for Sleater Kinney  . I bought one of their cd's a few years ago and could find nothing appealing about it. |

| Sleater Kinney are wonderfull. Check out "One Beat". Fantastic record. Forget Limblifter, and go for Kurt Dahle's (go SK!) current band, The New Pornographers. Much better. And forget the Pikes. Nostalgia and locality do not a good artist make. Just look at Wide Mouth Mason. |

Ok I tried the song 'One Beat'...her voice is still grating. Love the New Pornographers but they don't make my top 5, maybe I've overplayed them to death.
Ween are awesome, just got into them this year. |
