massive.. name your favourite band or group and your favourite song from them, and then your favourite solo artist and fav song from them, i know we've done this a few times before but not for a while iirc and peoples tastes might've changed, plus some ideas of CD's to get(if you know what CD a song is off put it in there)

Band - Cold Chisel
Song - Khe Sanh (this is tough because i'm a massive Chis fan but it's always been a classic imo.)

Solo - Jimmy BARNES
song - I'd die to be with you tonight ( but i like all of barnesy's songs )

Suggested CDs to buy : Chisel (all of there hits)
Barnes Hits (classics plus some rare songs..)

band - rage against the machine
song - take the power back.............. i lvoe that riff

khe sahn makes me cry with its badness

This has been done to death a million times.

Anyway,

Fav band: Hybrid
Fav song: I'm Still Awake

Sif narrow it down to one band and song though, my tastes are so eclectic that these threads cannot comprehend the magnatude and variety.

On that note, I have been getting into some awesome s*** by Layo & Bushwacka and Massive Attack.

The new Prodigy album is s***, as is the new Ma$e album :(

I mean ffs, how longs it been since they both released something. They definitely lost the magic :(((((

yeah i know its impossible to narrow it down, but everytime we have one of these threads i seem to forget that im obsessed with jimmy barnes

This is very hard thing to do but since you pick an Aussie band I'll follow with my favorite Aussie band/s

Band - The Sunnyboys
Song - Happy Man

Solo - none as the Oxley Brothers never went solo until Tim released an album 2 years ago, lets not talk about that.

Recomend - This is real http://www.feelpresents.com/label/768/releases/sunnyboys/index.html

Band - Rose Tattoo
Song - We Can't Be Beaten

Solo - Angry Anderson doing the Advance Australia Fair at the Bledisloe in the early 90's.

Recomend - all of em.

For Aussie bands, you cant go past Epicure - Life Sentence or Armies Against Me :)

i also cant remember who did it, some comedian, but he did advance australia fair to the tune of working class man, it was a classic..

kamahl - why are people so unkind

Advance Australia Fair also works to the tune of Gilligan's Island perfectly.

Band: Pearl Jam
Song: Black

Solo: Dave Matthews
Song: Argh... they are all good. Crash Into Me and #41 stand out.

/me waits for rolly to come in and name drop

i also cant remember who did it, some comedian, but he did advance australia fair to the tune of working class man, it was a classic..

both shonky songs

the comedian was adam hills

what you just said is extremely un-australian and sucks the el-dicko

barnesy should die in a fire
he can also take farnesy while hes at it

band: Pink Floyd
Song: comfortably numb

cant really think of a solo artist at the moment

Advance Australia Fair also works to the tune of Gilligan's Island perfectly

Haha, it does.

Anyway, too hard to pick a favourite plus I mainly listen to dance stuff these days and there's too many good tracks out there.

Don McLean - Castles In The Air is a great track.

8-)

Comfortably numb has a face-melting solo =)

^^^^
especially the live one from Pulse

/me waits for rolly to come in and name drop

hehehe dirty rolly.



Also.

Band: Coldplay
Song: In My Place / The Scientist / Amsterdam / Trouble / Shiver

Also Favourites... SFK, Spiderbait, Powderfinger, The Butterfly Effect, Thirsty Merc.

Solo: argh... I dont know... I dont have one solo CD, and thats pete murray - feeler. So I guess thats him.
