agreed, close call though with Oasis (although I think the bros. are nuts). Bitter Sweet Symphony and Lucky Man are incredible. Wonderwall is my fave Oasis tune.

Verve's more psychedelic, pre Urban Hymns stuff is good too. I got to hear them live @ Molson Park in, um, 1994, I think. LOL!

Damon Albarn is the one of the greatest musical minds of the past century.

Yep I said it.

The range, depth, and constant change to be experienced when listening to his music cannot be compared to many on the planet today.

The List:
Blur (specifically 13 & Think Tank)
Gorillaz (not bad for a side project) and moderate participation in the Deltron 3030 project that preceded it.
Mali Music (truly unique... but not many dig the central African sounds, so perhaps only check this out if you dig the sounds of Manu Chao &/or Amadou et Mariam)

Check some of that out and perhaps you'll better understand my affinity for my choice here.

For that reason, I chose Blur.

I've seen them both live, own all their albums, and that's my take.

Cheers!

Matt, my son.....we shall have a talk about this sometime and get ur ideas of the "Greater" musician fixed...

ummm as of Saturday Noel Gallagher has officially left the group. It's not like any of the others can compose anything worthwhile. My fav band is now no more.

quote:

29/08/09 Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning. As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis. The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new. I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got. While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it. In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge. I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a fuckin' pleasure. Thanks very much. Goodbye. NG.

Radiohead started out in 1985 and were arguably at their peak in the mid 90's
Coldplay released Yellow in the UK in 1999
